I'm in this month... I've caught up on most of my swapping...and with the cooler weather coming on.. I don't like to go out as much... unless it's to play in the leaves with the kiddos... great photo moments...
I'll be scrapping this weekend..

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm in, too! I'm on fall break starting Friday at 3 p.m. (not that I'm counting or anything!), so I'm hoping next week will be a very productive week!! :cheer2:

[smeal]

Sounds like fun . . . but I am going to pass this month. I have to travel for work the last two weeks.
Hopefully next time.

[tiggerfan6]

I'm in again for this month. Even though I may not win, I do so much better scrapping because of the challenge.

[littlelambie]

I'm in. I have our trip to do, after I pick up a few things. And I am also going tp a scrap book day next weekend, so I should be able to get lots done.

[luvmy2sams]

Count me in for my first scrapbooking challenge! :cool1:

I'm making a scrapbook for DSister for Christmas, and I've finally received all the photos I need. I also want to finish one of DD's scrapbooks for her show-and-tell on the 16th. Hopefully I can get a ton done this month! :)

[Honeybehr1]

Updated till here. Catch you next month smeal.

[mantaz]

Count me in for this month. I have an event at the end of the month so I should have a better showing than last month! Good luck everyone!

I've kept up on these but never joined before. I'd like to join this month although I'm not sure how many pages I'll be able to get done. I had a shot of inspiration day before yesterday and finished 12 pages of our honeymoon - not bad since we're coming up on our one-year annivesary :rotfl:

[littlelambie]

6 pages done tonight!! WOO HOO!! Got a really good start on our trip tonight. Can't wait to get back at it tomorrow night!!
:Pinkbounc

[pjlla]

Count me in! I got a BUCKETLOAD done in August and September... hopefuly I can keep the momentum going! Good luck to all!.................P

[StitchIsOurHero]

Ok, I got some time to work tonight, and I got 11 pages done! :banana: I may get this trip scrapbook done after all--that would be saying something since I haven't gotten the last 2 trip books done! :rotfl2:

Thanks for keeping up with this challenge, honeybehr! It really helps keep me going! :moped:

[luvmy2sams]

I spent Saturday afternoon and evening scrapping, and I've completed 25 pages. DNephew's book is complete until Halloween and holiday photos are taken, and I've started on DD's book. :cool1:

[jennyL]

Count me in this month. I did some last week and will be working on more this weekend with my sister here. Put me down for 6 pages so far with hopefully more to come.

[fireplug]

I may try this in Nov. but since we are going on the DVC cruise and spending 5 days at WDW this month would not be very productive.

[jennobrn01]

Me! :cool1: I have never done a challenge (deep-seeded issues of fear of failure). :p

Cooler weather may signify the start of football season for some. For me it signifies the start of Scrappin' Season! :thumbsup2

[StitchIsOurHero]

I managed to get 7 more done tonight. Tomorrow, I officially have nothing to do but scrap (that always seems to be when stuff happens!), so I hope to accomplish a lot! I think that puts me at 18 for this month, so far.

[jennobrn01]

Tomorrow, I officially have nothing to do but scrap (that always seems to be when stuff happens!)

I soooo hear ya! :lmao:

[luvmy2sams]

I finished 8 pages tonight while listening to Monday Night Football. Only a few more pages and DD's scrapbook is finished for her show-and-tell. :goodvibes Tonight's pages brings my total to 33 for the month so far. At this rate I might actually meet my goal...1999-present by December 2007. :rotfl: A girl can dream, right?

[Honeybehr1]

WOW great scrapping ladies. Keep up the work. :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 updated till here

I have finally gotten into my sons 3rd grade scrapbook. I have made him one for each year of school from Preschool to somewhat current. lol He is in 4th grade now and I am up to March of last year. I have everythign organized i just need to make some pouches, tags and such. I have vowed not to do anything else till this is done. So perhaps that will motivate me. :rotfl2:

[JandJ]

I've only finished one more page so far this month. So that puts my total at 13 pages . . . and counting (hopefully!) . . . I'm glad I finally joined one of these, if nothing else it's making me a little more motivated :cool1:

[PrincessNancy96]

Finally.. on the board with 2! I hope to do some major scrapping this weekend!!! yeah!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I actually did manage to get some scrapping done today. I got 20 more pages done for our September trip album. I think I am about halfway finished. The other night, after I showed DH the first 18 pages I had made for the Sept. '06 trip, I got out the album from our first trip. I had already made more pages from the Sept. trip than I did for our ENTIRE first trip. As if you needed further evidence that scrapbooking was addictive!!! But what a fun addiction it is!!! :rotfl2:

I think that puts me at 38 for the month. I'm hoping to finish that book this week, but I have some swap stuff and cj stuff to do, too. We'll see!!

Happy scrapping, everyone! :thumbsup2

[littlelambie]

Another 6 pages for me tonight!! I will probably scrap book again a few times more this week, and then I have my scrap book day on Saturday. I can't wait!!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I had another pretty good day today--gotta love Fall Break!! I got 23 pages done. I have another 24 pages left to do, so I am hoping to finish tomorrow! Then, it's on to swap stuff, cj stuff, and then those other 2 WDW trips I haven't even started. . . :rotfl:

I am hoping I am as successful as you, 23 pages in one day!!! I feel good if I get 6 done in an evening!! I am going to an all day crop session on Saturday, so I hope to get lots accommplished. Good for you!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I was happy I got that many done yesterday--it's become one of those light at the end of the tunnel type things. I'm almost done, so I feel like I have to do "just one more page" over and over to get it done! Plus, last night, "Lost" was on, so I was a TV widow. I don't watch that, but DH loves it, so he took the big TV, and I worked in my scrap room. I have the seasons of "Gilmore Girls" on DVD, so I put those on in the background and that makes time go by fast!

littlelambie--have fun at your all day crop session! That sounds like a blast!!

[pjlla]

Okay....I'm on the board with 28 pages. I haven't been called to work all week, so I have been cranking out the pages!..........P

[Honeybehr1]

Wow alot of scrappin goin on here. I did get motivated and complete up till may in my book. So I have just one more month left and then add some embellishments and find a book to store it all in. Gotta love the school scrap books.

[WDWAurora]

I'm IN! With a grand total of 2!!!

[JandJ]

I am hoping I am as successful as you, 23 pages in one day!!! I feel good if I get 6 done in an evening!! I am going to an all day crop session on Saturday, so I hope to get lots accommplished. Good for you!!
I know, if I can get 10 or 12 done in a day it's a major event ;) After that I start to feel burned out.

Great job getting pages done ladies, even one page is an accomplishment!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I finished my September album!! I'm so excited!! I'd be more excited if I weren't so far behind in all of the other stuff, and if my scrap room didn't look like a hostile takeover by the paper scrap army had been done, but oh well!!

I did 34 more pages between yesterday and today--I am now ready for some sleep! Happy scrapping, everyone!! littlelambie, have fun this weekend at your crop!! :banana:

Thanks, I plan to!! :banana: Got all my stuff packed up tonight. I have never been to anything like this before, so it was kind of hard to decide what to take. Hope my "boys" (dh and ds) do OK at home without me for a whole day!! :goodvibes

[luvmy2sams]

I've only managed to get 3 more pages done. DS isn't feeling well, and it's the busiest weekend of the month for us. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a few more pages done tomorrow after church.

[littlelambie]

I had a great time at my scrap book day, and got 10 more pages done. I was a bit shocked at how much time people put into theit pages. We were there 7 hrs and one girl only got 1.5 pages!! Anyway, I was happy with what I was able to get done.

[jennyL]

WOW I had a good weekend so far. I've gotten 30 more pages done. They were pretty basic but done non-the-less. LOL Tonight I'm working on swaps so probably no more pages this weekend.

[StitchIsOurHero]

2 more pages for me today--just finished up my CJ layouts to get it ready to mail tomorrow. Now, it's off to work on swap items, so probably no more pages for a while! Have a great week everyone! :banana:

[littlelambie]

Another 3 pages done tonight, I quit at 800, could have done another 2 hrs, but my back was so sore. I am not use to sitting in one place for so long. My Aunt and I are going to go to a couple of crop sessions in November. It will be nice to go with someone else this time instead of on my own.

[luvmy2sams]

I finished 6 pages yesterday afternoon. That brings my total to 42 pages for the month. I've got to clean house and do laundry today, and Fall Break starts on Wednesday, so I probably won't get much done again until next week sometime.

[tinkspark]

Count me in... Hopefully I'll do better than august... I have a better start already... I have 3 pages done

[JandJ]

I finished 11 more pages today!

Our honeymoon album is finally done :cool1: I'm so happy!! I'm looking forward to catching up on this year's album and will hopefully have more pages to add to my total after the weekend.

Doing the wedding album is another story :rolleyes1 I thought I'd get it done before our 1st anniversary, but that's Friday and not gonna happen . . . maybe next year . . .

[tiggerfan6]

2 pages for me .... its a start ;o)

[Honeybehr1]

Updated till here. Great job everyone. There is alot of scrappin going on - all except me. I go through spurts where I go nuts every couple of months and do 100 pages and then it peters off the next month to hardly anything. :confused3

[luvmy2sams]

I finished 7 pages today, which brings my total to 49 for the month. I've got to stop now and finish packing for a trip to grandma's house tomorrow morning. No more pages from me until at least next Monday.

Happy scrappin' everyone! :teeth:

[JandJ]

I finished 10 more pages today - woohoo! This scrapbooking challenge has really been encouraging!!

[WDWAurora]

6 more! For a total of 8!

[littlelambie]

Another 6 done tonight!! At this rate, I may actually finish our diney trip by the end of the month!! Then back to my other pictures, where I am still at last summer's vacation. I will be caught up one day, right???

[Honeybehr1]

Ok updated till here. 10 Days left till the end of the month. :cool1:

[MinnieMommy]

This is great incentive! :thumbsup2

Can you put me down for 6.

Thanks!
MinnieMommy

[JandJ]

I finished 11 more pages!

I could never do as many as "stitch" but it IS great incentive to keep working :thumbsup2

[tiggerfan6]

2 more for me

[Honeybehr1]

Welcome MinnieMommy.

Updated to here.

[littlelambie]

Another 5 for me tonight. If I keep going like this, I might be done my Disney book by the weekend!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Awesome, Little Lambie! I know how nice it is to finish a trip book! I have been working on swaps, so no more pages to add in for me! I am hoping to get a few more done this weekend!! :banana:

[JandJ]

Just 2 more pages done last night. Hopefully I can get a lot done this weekend!

[littlelambie]

Another 5 done tonight. If my weekend goes the way I am predicting, I should finish up our Sept Disney trip. I am having mixed feelings about this. I am excited to be completed, but that makes our trip really over. Oh well, time to start planning the next one!!

[littlelambie]

Another 6 tonight!! Only 2 more left and I will be done our Sept DLR trip. I could have finished it off tonight, but I wanted to drag it out a little bit longer (sigh).

[littlelambie]

OK, the final 2 pages of our Disney trip are done. So that is another 2 pages for me tonight. I might take the next few days of the month off, grieve my trip a bit, and then get ready to start up again.

[NewEnglandDisney]

Count me in for next month. :)

NED

[mantaz]

I had a crop this weekend so now I have pages to count for. I got 15 done and getting closer to getting the trip done. If I get my house fixed back up then I can concentrate on scrapping more. I am glad to see how mant pages everyone is doing!

Angela

[Honeybehr1]

Ok there are only two days left. Scrap-away. Some big numbers have been posted this month. I have done about 35+pages this month myself. So it was productive for me. Next weekend I am going to teach my niece the ins and outs of scrapping. Its her first time. We are going to scrap our trip we took this summer. Cant wait.

[StitchIsOurHero]

honeybehr1--that sounds like a lot of fun for you and your niece! Thank you for keeping up with the challenge this month. I'm still a LONG way from being caught up, but these help keep me motivated. Maybe with the cooler months being here, I'll have more scrappin' time!! :banana:

[JandJ]

I finished 17 more pages this weekend :cool1:

This challenge really helped me - I finished our honeymoon album, got caught up on this year's album, and even got some work done on albums I've been putting off for years. At this rate I may get completely caught up by the end of next year - yeah, right :rolleyes1

[MinnieMommy]

Ok... I finished another 3. You guys are amazing getting so many done!
My goal.. to finish our 2005 trip scrapbook before we leave for our 2006 trip in December! :blush:

[JandJ]

Well, I finished 3 more pages yesterday, and that's that for October!

I can't believe how many I got done and I know being part of this challenge made a difference - thank you for hosting Honeybehr1. Unfortunately, I'll be gone for a couple weeks in November and know I won't get much done, but I'll hopefully join another challenge in December :thumbsup2

[Honeybehr1]

Wow 367 pages total for the month. :cheer2: :cheer2: great job ladies.

[StitchIsOurHero]

367 pages is a great accomplishment!! WOW!!

Ok, I've started the November challenge thread. I'm finishing my last swap tonight, and I have promised myself that I would get to work on my albums. I'd like to get my 2006 album caught up by the end of the year. Come on over to the November thread, and let's continue this scrapping success!

Thanks again, honeybehr, for doing this challenge!!
