I also have several mini-albums to complete:
2 accordian books
1 word book
1 2011 mini-album

Thanks for posting this - and getting me motivated to scrap and craft.

I've had a nice holiday break from Scrapping and I'm ready to get back to it.

My annual goal this year is 200 pages. I didn't set a goal last year but I think this is a good number for me. An improvement from last year, but not totally out of reach.

My January goals:
Get caught up on editing and print pictures since October
Excavate the scrap room which looks like a bomb went off in it
Finish the Christmas wreath that I started in October but had to put off for gift scrapbooks
16 pages to keep me on track for the year
Finish current cross stitch project (can carry over to Feb)
No new scrap supplies (adhesive exception)

My Goals for the Year:
Finish 2009 WDW Trip before we go in Sept
Do at least one page of DH's Alaska pictures each month (I have no motivation for these pics)
Finish my sisters wedding book for my mom by the end of March
Redecorate our bedroom
Be a better house keeper
Spend more wisely on Scrapbooking supplies
Use more scraps

 

[rescuetink]

I am committed this year to doing more scrapbooking...I recently started Becky Higgins' Project Life and hope that I can continue that while working on my original WDW/Cruise vacation from 2001, then moving to the same from 2006 ---I'm probably just dreaming, but wouldn't it be ideal to be caught up? LOL

 

[dsneygirl]

I'd like to get to 100. I have a lot of new supplies and all of my 2010 photos to scrap so I have a long way to go but I think I can do it.

 

[DisneyBarlans]

I'd like to get at least 100 pages done this year. Last year I only did about 40, and now I'm way behind!!

January Goals:
Already printed pics to scrap of 2010
Go to scrap weekend next weekend and start 2010 album
Work on using swap stash

February-March:
Go to crop night at least twice a month
Finish 2010 and start on 2011-keep current!
Start printing un-scrapped photos from 2009

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I'm glad I'm not the only one trying to scrap "now" things then working backwards on the other years that aren't even printed yet when time!!! I felt like everyone was only a little behind and I was still just out of the starting gate!!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

So, I have already stopped taking the photo-a-day pictures. Therefore, no project 365 for me!! That brings me down 365 pages...but I am not changing my goal...I will try to make up for it in other albums! Plus, I just decided I will be doing a baby book for my new niece coming in May...so that's some more I wasn't planning on!!

 

[wdwmickey]

Erin--maybe you could turn it into project 52 and make weekly layouts with the everyday type pictures. Just take a few pics every week.

It's a thought...I just don't know that I am dedicated enough?? I think part of my problem was that I didn't know what to take a picture of??

 

[wdwmickey]

I've been taking pictures of the girls doing homework, DH on the computer, the dogs, etc. There is a project life thread and pjlla is giving great photo ideas

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Maybe I'll check it out!

[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!!!!) Failed miserably!! Bagging this one for the year. I am workig on coming up with something else in place of it.
- Project 365 Goes with above.
- Use up a lot of swap items!!! Not yet, but still in the works!!
- 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Disney books done Have a start on 2010
- Scrap current events Have to get them printed
- 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. Yeah...one month down and I'm already backed up!
- Keep up on the printing of photos!!!! Making progress...everything is edited up to date, need to keep printing and ordering.
- All this scrapping brings 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! Now have a gift album...but think I can still get a lot of my own done!! Only got 19 done this month, but I am determined to make up for it this month!!

For January:

- Edit and order all photos on computer Not done but started!
- Scrap all January pictures Not even ordered yet, but at least edited!!
- 2010 Disney album 1/2 done (this is the shortest trip, so I'll start with this one to get myself motivated) Ummm...not even close! But again...trying to make up for it this month!
- Start to organize all scrap stuff and take inventory...looking for suggestions here so I know what I have when making pages!!! Have started shopping around for organization systems. Will really dig into this soon.

Misc:

- Print all pictures and keep printing!! Doing pretty well...have tons to print, so it's taking some time!
- Keep house in order and sparkly clean (I feel more creative in a clean and organized environment for whatever reason) Doing great with this!
- Stick to our once a week family day...has to be a movie, game, outdoor activity, project, etc. Yep...kept up with this one too!!
- 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) Not yet...within the next couple of weeks!
- 2 dates per month with the hubs Ehhh....only one this month...too busy with the kids!
- Only sign up for a swap when another is complete or nearly completeSo far, so good!!

So, I have been slow out of the gate...need to keep working on these goals!! It may take me all year, but I am determined to really make an honest try!
