If I can get away from the computer I should be able to get that done.

Happy Scrapping Everyone!

I'm sure I did over 200 pages, but I didn't make as much head way on the rest of my list as I had hoped. Well, here's to 2011!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Yep, I know I didn't make headway with mine. But I'm even more motivated and determined that 2011 will be a SUCCESS!!!

 

[New England Eeyore]

Okay I think I have my list now.

Overall Page Goal - 500 pages, Master Scrapper Not quite - just over 400 I think

- Finish WDW 2009 album DONE
- Finish 2009 album DONE
- Finish Lucky's album DONE
- Finish Avandaryl's albums
- Baby album for BFF's 2nd baby, due in August DONE
- Work on park albums, using swap stash
- Re-do Mom's Rose Bowl trip album in safer album
- Scan all slides DONE
- Work on scanning negatives, childhood photos Negatives done
- Have a stash of handmade cards ready to go
- Make more pages as wall art to hang in the house
- Keep to the ban, use up stash, shop less, use more

This has been a difficult year and not a lot of time for scrapping (or any of my other loftier goals!)

I'm going to set some realistic goals for the last part of the year:
- Finish BFF's baby album DONE
- Finish 2009 regular album DONE
- Finish 2009 fall travel album DONE

Make more progress on:
- 2009 WDW album DONE
- 2010 DL album Prob 2/3 done
- 2010 regular album. updated through August

Anything else is gravy!

Not too bad, considering. I've already started working on my 2011 to-do list.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

unsticking but this thread is linked in the 2011 Annual Goals thread.

 

[PinballFamily]

Sigh...

Ok, I'm in! Please put me down for Priceless Memories Preserver - 100-199 pages.

I am the world's slowest scrapper! I really savor each layout and nudge things around for days while it sits out on my desk - before the FINAL stickdown. Maybe I'll pick up momentum as I get moving...

This is a goal I think I can achieve - and that is perfect for my first attempt. (Hard to believe I only started scrapping exactly a year ago - feels like I've know you all a lot longer!!!)

I didn't post many updates during 2010 - I kept forgetting which thread to post on! (DUH!) But, I did about 130 pages during the year! For me, that was incredible and I met my goal! Gonna try to double that for 2011 - going for 250!

 

[wdwmickey]

Okay, I'm in I'll try for master scrapper.

Scrapping goals:

I think that is it for now Good luck to everyone. Cheryl

Congrats to everyone for doing so well on their goals

This is where I stand I'm really pleased with what I accomplished, I found it helped to have the goals in writing. I'm off to set goals for 2011

 

[morgansmom2000]

Goals for 2010

Swaps:
If I join, I will limit my groups to 3 or 4. This will cut down on spending (postage) as well.
Use my stash! Unless I have absolutely nothing that works with what I'm making, use what I have.
Limit swaps to one every few months. - Yeah, not so great on staying out of swaps, but I definitely did better, especially during the last half of the year.

Pages:
Try to do 6 pages per month...This is attainable, so anything extra is gravy! (This does not include my weekend crop in April). This would put me at 72 pages for the year, but I'm aiming for 100 with the weekend crop. This would make me a Priceless Memories Preserver.
Use up completed pages I have from swaps.
USE my stuff! I am notorious for "What if I need it for something else and I've already used it?" This is is that time! - I did over 100 pages, so that's good for me, but that did include almost 60 for Sophie's album, not many for myself. Use my stash, LOL, I have so much stuff it's not even funny. Time to reorganize.

Cards:
I would like to make my Christmas cards this year. If I choose a design and get started early, making 10 a month, I can be done by July. I would also like to have a "stash" of cards on hand for birthdays and other events. So, I'm going to set a goal of 15 cards a month. - I made a few cards, but I don't think I came anywhere near 15 a month. I just found a bazillion card blanks while I had to move stuff in the basement, so I am going to try this again in 2011.

For my April Weekend Crop:
Bring Brownie/Junior album up-to-date (this will involve some photo printing).
Aiming for 30 pages for the weekend. - Nope, did Sophie's album instead.
Try not to, ahem, overspend at the store there. She has such pretty paypurrrrrrrrrrrs, but I have to cut back.
(This will be paid for by cash from my (hopefully to be received soon) year end bonus - which will cover all my crop fees, meals, room, liquor (!!), gas, tolls, and supplies). I didn't spend as much as I have in past years, but I did get a lot more paper than I needed.

Family:
More dates with DH. - Some
More family game nights. - Definitely more than 2009
Patience! - Stupid people make this hard.
Make a weekly meal calendar and stick to it. - NOPE
Have way more fun! - Mostly
Spend more time with my friends. - YES!

Weight:
Go back to Weight Watchers. - Petered out after a bit.
Aim for 20 pounds lost by the cruise. - NOPE
EXER-CISE (two of my least favorite four letter words!) - NOPE
Following the meal calendar will help the spending and weight; exercising will help with the mental health and patience!

Spending/Finances:
This is a tough one. I don't want to set a goal that I know I can't attain, but I really need to pay down my debt, so I can't go hog wild like I would like to every week. I am going to set an amount of $40 per month on supplies. However, I will really try my hardest to keep it below this. Everything must be bought on sale or with a coupon (which is what I usually do anyhow). And, I must think two or three times before buying something - "Do I need this? Will I use this? Can I live without this?"
Any Cricut carts must be $35 or less.
AVOID clearance sales unless it is part of my monthly budget.
My monthly budget will not include adhesive or photo printing (but I shouldn't need either for at least a few months) or crop fees, which Holly doesn't allow me to pay anyway
My monthly budget, however, will include any SVG files that I can't live without!
I may need to make some purchases as far as organization products. I will shop sales though!
Coupons! Cut out and USE coupons at the grocery store!
Eating out - Limit to once a week and this includes McDonald's and other take out. There is no need for my family to be eating out several times a week. No more lunches out on my days off either. This will help with the weight goals too!
Pay off! Do not use credit cards, keep paying down. If you don't have the cash for it, you don't neeeeeeeeeed it!

I failed miserably at most of this. It's time to put up or shut up.

House: (this list is probably way more than possibly can be done in 2010, since I'll be working on paying down debt, but this is what I'd eventually like to get done)
Morgan's room redo - January/February - DONE
Kitchen Ceiling - Paint - January/February with Morgan's room? - DONE
Bathroom - Paint - January/February with Morgan's room? - DONE
Dining Room, Living Room, and Bedroom Floors (and stair treads) - We have hardwood under our rugs. I'd love to rip up the rugs and get the floors re-done. - April? - Nope
Kitchen and Bathroom Floors - TILE. I want to tile them, but that involves being out of the house for a few days since it can't be walked on - October/November (while we're on our cruise?). - Nope

Miscellaneous:
Learn how to use my camera. - A bit
Learn how to use my Gypsy. - A bit more.
Learn how to use SCAL and Inkscape better. - Definitely better at SCAL don't really need to know Inkscape
Get my kid to help out with chores. There is no reason the little bratty girl can't be washing dishes! - She did great from June-October, when she wanted money for the cruise - got to get back to it!

Not great, but not horrible either. This is the year I make some major changes.

Isn't it funny to look back at our goals and see where we were/are?! I really did not meet many of my scrapping goals, but I met some BIG personal ones so 2010 was a huge success! My family is in a much better place now than it was 1 or even 2 years ago at this time! I am so so greatful for that!
