Another year and another list of goals I’d like to achieve

Daily Pages – I don’t know if I’ll do these every month but I’d like to create 2 field notes books for the year – Currently and Thursday 3. Watch this space.

100 Happy Days – it’s an easy project that I love doing.

Photo-A-Day – I really want to make a full 365 and add them to the gallery at the end of each month.

Book of Me. Looking forward to the changes Kristin is making to this project this year.

Memory Planner. I managed to get myself enough inserts for this year & next. This project really seems to work for me.

Other projects – Day in the Life, Week in the Life, December Documenting.

Mixed media projects – Junk Journal January and July, Creative journal using prompts from Helen Colebrook on Patreon.

What’s on your list for this year?

For 2022 I would like to:

• Do more daily pages. I’m going to try using 4×6 index cards in rings instead of mini books. Want to include Currently & Thursday 3 each week.
• 100 Happy Days.
• Try a photo challenge. I miss doing them
• Continue memory keeping in the Heidi Swapp Chapters books. It’s worked really well last year and I managed to keep fairly up to date.
• Fussy Cutting Cuties. Between this & the Daily Pages – these will be my play projects. Ways of trying ideas or techniques.
• Week in the Life & Day in the Life
• December Daily/Journal Your Christmas. I really want to get back to creating an album again instead of just a 2 page spread.

Over the next few weeks I’m hoping to photograph & share with you some projects from 2021 – my Cutie book, 2021 Book of Me, both Monthly & weekly memory keeping books and, fingers crossed, my 2021 December album. We’ll see how we go.

What’s your scrapping plans for 2022?

Welcome, welcome friends. Here we are nearly to the end of February and I am yet to post.

The holidays are over and the kids are back at school. My baby is in kindergarten so I have 3 whole days a week with no kiddos!!
One is hoping that this is going to help the creative juices flow a bit more in 2019.

What am I planning for 2019? So far – lots!!

• Creating monthly pages in my 6×8 album that are just my stories. At this stage I’ll be using the Awesome Ladies Project monthly Lens prompts, with the occasional Day In the Life and Week in the Life spreads. It’ll evolve as it goes.
• Working on the girls’ Project Life albums monthly. Now that they are growing up I want to rethink how I do these albums. Do I still want to do an album each? Who knows? We’ll see how it goes.
• Morning pages. Now we’re in a good school routine I’m hoping to get back into creating something quick of a morning.
  If not morning pages I’ll pop something in my little quote book I started.
• 30 Days of Lists.
• Kellie is planning on doing 3 rounds of 31 things in 31 days. Looking forward to that.
• 100 Day Project. Not sure what I want to do. Throwing round the idea of giving myself a weekly theme.
• 100 Happy Days. I didn’t do this last year but I really want to do it this year. I think it is something I need to do even if just for myself.
• Working through some classes at Big Picture and Simple Scrapper.
• Photographing projects and sharing them here cause I have been so bad at that.

Who knows what else. We’ll see what the year brings. What are your plans for 2019?

Happy New Year! Time for a quick look back at my goals for last year and forward to my plans for 2018

2017 started out ok and I got a fair bit of creating done, then it just petered off and I hardly created anything in the second half of the year. Makes me sad cause I love creating.

In 2017 my plans were….

• create a photo book of our holiday using the Project Life app and most likely printing it through Snapfish. Nope didn’t happen. On my list of things to do, eventually but not digitally anymore as my eldest wants to help me create that scrapbook
  so yay a joint project.  
• finish our 2016 Journal Your Christmas pages. Keeping it very simple this year so I get it done. This is kind of done. I did a few pages before we went away on holiday and I plan to add a spread showcasing the best bits of our holiday and Christmas day.
• create a year of me album – not sure what it will include as yet but it’s my Awesome Ladies Project for the year Managed to get a couple of months of the Awesome Ladies Project done and the majority of 100 Days of Me. This is a project I can go back to whenever though as I made a ton of notes each month
• keep up to date with the girls albums. Simplify this year. Use up the supplies I have. Print photos and journal each month. Get it done, not perfect. Well….. I’ll be honest. There is nothing in the girls’ albums for 2017. Some of it is planned digitally but none made it to albums. Adding it to my catch up pile.
• Day in the Life & Week in the Life. Thinking of doing these digitally and printing them. I did this for Day in the Life in 2016 and it worked well so I might try it for Week in the Life too. I actually did this one and completed it. And it’s in my Year of Me album.
• possibly other projects that I have on the backburner or that spark my interest. Made a few cards and got into a few other non paper crafting things like loom banding and crochet over winter though.

Onto 2018….

• Book of Me at Awesome Ladies
• Journal Your Christmas 2017. Taking Shimelle’s advice from 2017 and only creating for the days that speak to me. Also keeping it simple. Maybe ask Miss K to create a couple of pages for me.
• Do a few more pages in our wedding album. It will get complete one year. No major rush on this one
• The girls’ PL albums. Make a date each month to create their pages digitally.
• Holiday album
• anything else that takes my fancy.

How did you go in 2017? Have any crafting plans for 2018?
