Yearly round up – Nightwolf Crafts

2022 in review

Here we are in 2023 so it’s time to do a review.

I didn’t pick a word of the year in 2022 but if I had Chaotic would probably have been a good choice. A few life issues and events got in the way of my crafting and I now know that I need to schedule craft time.

Daily pages ended up being very on and off. I got to June with the 4×6 index cards and I do love them. I worked through the 30 days of showing up at the Awesome Ladies and did my Daily Pages in Canva. This was a great way of getting my pages done. Further into the year I found somewhere in Australia that sells Field Notes so I tried that and really love that size.

100 Happy Days. Done & dusted for another year.

Try a photo a day challenge. I managed to pretty much keep up with this, only missing a few days here and there. Now I need to save them and add them to the gallery.

I could go on and on about how much I love the Heidi Swapp memory planner system using the Storyline Chapters books but I’m not going to. I fell a bit behind over winter but I have the whole year planned digitally and all my photos up to December printed.

Due to some health issues (not mine), work has been a bit quieter so money is a lot tighter and sadly I had to give up a few things. Fussy Cutting Cuties was one. The exchange rate between here and the US is killer. I will miss this one.

Day in the Life and Week in the Life were both done and in my memory planner.

December scrapbooking didn’t exactly happen as we were busy with all the end of year festivities as well as end of primary school events for our eldest. I did, however, journal daily so I can sit down and get my pages done when I feel like it.

How did your crafting plans go in 2022?

Nightwolf Scraps in 2021–End of year round up

So here we are at the end of 2021. This year seems to have flown by, but I think we say that every year.
On the last day of the year I thought I do a round up of a post I did earlier in the year looking at my plans for 2021.

My word for 2021 was Create.
I want to create a more decluttered and organised house. Hmm well not entirely.
I want to create more crafty projects. I think I managed to create more.
Create more in the garden. We planted a few more things, cleaned up a bit and managed to get a plan.

My crafty plans

Book of Me with the Awesome Ladies Project. Complete!
Daily Pages (Monday to Friday). I managed to get a few months done but not every month. I enjoy doing these but I need to rethink of how I can do it and make it a part of my everyday.
100 Happy Days Compete! I love this project.
Attempt to do a daily photo challenge. See how far I get. Didn’t happen. I took photos most days though but not for a challenge.
Sharing more on here & my Instagram. I’m finally working out an editorial calendar for myself so hopefully things will be a bit more regular. I’ve done more sharing but I want to make it more regular.
Continuing to do my Currently & Thursday 3 each week. Most weeks. I added my Currently to my yearly album.
work through the 52 weeks to an organised craft space challenge from thekeeperofthememories. I really want to do this one as I’m slowly bring all Mum’s craft stuff here and hopefully will have a dedicated craft space next year, especially as the kiddos want to craft with me now and the dining table isn’t cutting it (plus I want the dining table back for eating meals at lol). Um, nope.
Week in the Life. I need to coral all my previous WitLs actually into an album. I did this year and I made (& completed a mini album) and added it to my yearly album.
December Daily/Journal Your Christmas. Still going but nearly done.

I also added a new yearly album. I stopped doing Project Life and started using the Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters memory keeping system. I love it. I have almost completed the full 12 months. I’m hoping to do it again in 2022 if I can get my hands on the same books.
