[hopemax]

My goal is 365 pages. So I guess that makes me Journaling Genus as well.

Yearly Goals
I want to finish our Trans-Atlantic cruise album.
Complete Oct 2010 WDW Trip - adding this because I'm excited by my pics and want to work with them to get the mojo flowing
I want to start and complete 2009 USF/IOA pics, and work on June 2009 Disney portion
Stay current on non-Disney 2011 pics

January Goal
Finish Christmas 2008 pics

I've also decided that, building off our usual organizational threads, I am going to tackle one room per month. Figure out what works, what doesn't, do a deep clean, etc. My January room is going to be the kitchen because there is stuff that has bugged me since we moved in. I never cleaned the tops of the cabinets, when we moved in, so I never put up my popcorn containers, so they are clogging up closet space. And I need to totally re-arrange the "pantry" cabinet.

 

[Arizona Rita]

I would like to go for Journaling Genius also.
January Goal~
The Louve Museum.
I dont even want to think past that right now.

Cheryl~ We need to keep each other on track since our girls must have scrapbooks to show at their graduation parties!

ETA: This will be my first child graduating as the eldest is my stepson.. Well, DH just thinks it's funny that I'm like she graduates in May 2012... He said me the other day that it was odd that I was cool with this process... he said you were cool w/ her driving.. you took her out first... and you took her to class/drives etc.. you took her to get her license.... I said yes.. If I talk about it... it's okay.. it's something I can control! LOL Now, talk to me the week of graduation and I'll be a blubbering idiot... just like I was the day she got her license.. I cried all day while she was at school... but no one knows that till now!

We should definately keep each other on track

I've been okay with her getting older until I realized she'll be 17 in 6 weeks I taught her to drive and now we're looking at colleges--where did my baby go?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I did the teaching of driving all but the highway.. DH drives highway all the time so he is more defensive with the foolish drivers... I'm very defensive but was afraid I'd missing telling her something of importance.

Yes, we've already turned 17 here... eek!!! (there goes that extra tax credit!) LOL
We've been on 3 college campus visits this year... she has her first choice and she is itching to go ahead and apply..but first we have to take her SAT/ACT tests.. that is this spring...

It's amazing.. it does seem like we just brought these little ones home!

 

[joyah]

Honestly I can't even pick a catagory because I really never count the pages unless I'm at a crop.

first I need to:

then clean the scrap room again Just have pieces of stuff everywhere and put out the E!!!!!

then I need to catch up and get pages done.

I'd like to get my family album done pages just need pics.

I'd like to start the book for the boys of Gram and Gramp and some family history.

If that all gets done I'll be extatic

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I am going to participate here...mainly because I feel like if I "publicize" my goals, I am more likely to make a solid attempt at accomplishing them!! And, I know you lovely ladies will be a great backing and help to keep me in check!!!

I have to go back and think about them, though...

For now, I just wanted to comment on the children's milestones thing...my oldest is a freshman this year. I don't work now, but did until he started school. I know it sounds strange that I stopped working when he started, but he was 1/2 day Kindergarten and DH worked nights, so I had to be there for him. Anyway...DH and I took him to REGISTER for Kindergarten...did the whole test...yada yada yada. After, I went to work a little late. Well, when I got there, I stopped in the one office with all the older women that were my "grammies" as I did every day before heading to my own office. I wanted to tell them how proud I was of James and how cute the whole process was. Instead, I broke down and bawled ALL OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They actually thought someone had died. When I pulled it together and told them it was just Kindergaten registration, they thought I was nuts!! It wasn't even the 1st day yet...it was just the thought. Kids....they will drive you nuts!!!!!!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

OK...here are my goals...I really need cheerleaders to keep me on track!!!!!

For the year:

- Take a photo a day (after reading the ideas on this, I LOVE IT!!!!)
- Project 365
- Use up a lot of swap items!!!
- 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Disney books done
- Scrap current events
- Start back-tracking on past photos to be scrapped (do at least 4-5 pages per month) I am thinking I am so far behind that I will be better off starting with the current and keeping that current and filling in the past when there is time.
- Keep up on the printing of photos!!!!
- All this scrapping bringd my goal to about 800 I'm not sure I can do it, but I'd really like to try!!! At this point, I have no gift albums to do, so I should be able to get my own done for once!

For January:

- Edit and order all photos on computer
- Scrap all January pictures
- 2010 Disney album 1/2 done (this is the shortest trip, so I'll start with this one to get myself motivated)
- Start to organize all scrap stuff and take inventory...looking for suggestions here so I know what I have when making pages!!!

Misc:

- Print all pictures and keep printing!!
- Keep house in order and sparkly clean (I feel more creative in a clean and organized environment for whatever reason)
- Stick to our once a week family day...has to be a movie, game, outdoor activity, project, etc.
- Exercise at least 3 times a week and eat much better once all the cookies are gone (Included with this is losing 30 lbs by summer)
- 2 dates per month with the hubs
- Only sign up for a swap when another is complete or nearly complete

 

[StEpHandMiKe<3Disney]

My goal for this year is 365 pages! I'd also like to complete a 365 album. I started one last year and gave up when I missed a few days. I want to start today! I would like to also stay more organized as the scrapbook room right now looks like a tornado went though it. Good luck to everyone!
