What are your 2008 creative goals?

[Raenstoirm]

Mine is pretty easy and yet will take me all year.

I need to finish 2006 (I do chronological and I am to mid December so only 10 or so more pages).

Start and finish 2007 (I have about 2/3 of the April Disney trip and that is it for the year!) So I have to get working.

Start 2008 and keep it up to date! Oh and I have to break a bit of a DIS BAN rule. I forget I needed a book for 2008, so i will have to go buy one soon. But I actually need it, since I used my last extra for a gift book. But I will be able to use a coupon!

I would love start to stockpile cards, but I know that will fall to the back burner, so I am not officially including it.

 

[Raenstoirm]

Yeah I finished Dis 07 trip over the weekend. Just another 100 more pages to get the 2007 book done!

 

[princess stich]

Great idea!

1. Finish 2006 Family Album
2. Do 2007 Family Album
3. Finish 9/06 Disney Trip Done!
4. Do 6/07 Disney Trip
5. Do DD and Ds's autograph books from 6/07 trip
6. Do DS's ABC album Done!
7. Do Mother's Day album for my DM
8. Do 12/06 San Francisco Trip
9. and then after all of that...start 2008 album and try not to get too far behind again!

Whew! I am tired already!

Finished another goal! I am now working on my 2007 Disney trip while I am on a Disney roll...

Great job!

I feel like I am staying on task since I have written my goals down and shared them with all of you. I feel somewhat accountable now. Not like the lot of you are going to come pounding on my door Jan 1, 2009 if I have completed my list though!

Shauna, what was in your life album? Think it will be the same for 2008?

 

[TPCShauna]

My 2006 Life album contained a birthday trip to LA plus a bunch of random layouts. There was a trip to the zoo with friends and their little girl, a trip to Lake Tahoe, a football game, some holiday layouts and some other random stuff.

My 2007 Life album will have a friend's wedding, a Halloween party, a trip to go apple picking on the first day of Fall, a barbecue, a baby shower and a couple of other things - about 10 2-page layouts.

My 2008 Life album will be pretty similar to 2007. The Halloween party is a yearly deal and the other stuff will happen as it happens. I don't scrap a layout each month and I segregate my albums big time so my Life albums aren't very extensive yet. 2006 was the exception because I put the whole LA trip in there. I put Disney trips in their own albums and I have separate Girl Scout albums that are chronological as well.

Way to go, Shauna!

I'm a handful of layouts away from finishing up both my 2006 and 2007 albums. It's within reach!

Since I've been doing such a good job at my organizing goal, I'm adding yet another goal for myself. Deal with the box of half-finished CKC projects BEFORE the next CKC in May. The class list was just announced, and I'm starting to think about what classes I want, yet that box is there in the corner taunting me of all the projects I haven't finished yet. There's 2 years of stuff in there - time to finish them or strip them for parts. (And choose this year's classes wisely!)

Here's mine:

Scrap every Thursday with my scrap buddy!
Get albums from 2003 DONE 1/4
2004 DONE 1/4
2005 DONE 1/4
2006 and DONE 1/4 !
finished (just a few odds and ends) and finally get them all put in albums.DONE 1/5
Start/finish 2007 album. Finished 2/15!

Then I can do our upcoming WDW album, "I Hereby promise not to start Disney until old stuff is DONE!" I'm not even going to print my pics until then to stop the temptation. bringing photo in 2/16 for development

Use up old scrap stuff! making a dent in it today

Make christmas and b-day cards.

Stay organized!!

Good luck everyone!

I did it! my 2007 album is finished!!! get to develope my WDW pics now! but probably won't get to work on them for a week or so, DH has 2 bids to work on next week and we HAVE to get all of our tax stuff together for accountant.

 

[Spinning]

I hate goal setting! But I found the only year I actually did a lot of scrapping I was when I set goals on here!
So here goes!
Get my kids school, scout and sports book up to date. I would love to scrap 300 pages this year.

Way to go, mommy2mrb!!

I've been steadily working on things, but I need to get back to my specific goals. I think I'm going to knock out my parents wedding album next since that shouldn't take too long. I also need to stop signing up for swaps! It's so hard to find the balance between swapping and scrapping.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Thanks!

 

[TPCShauna]

Congrats, Lisa! Great accomplishment!

Good for you for setting goals, Spinning. I have found them helpful so far. Hopefully you will also.
