[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

[morgansmom2000]

For February:

Keep plugging away at Cruise book - try to get 6 layouts done?

[mybestieismickey]

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 Got most of this done. Still a few left to print, but they are edited!excavate the scrap room which looks like a bomb went off in it I found my desk. Does that count? I just need to sort my scraps and find homes for a few items.
finish the christmas wreath that i started in october but had to put off for gift scrapbooks Minimal progress. Dang it!
16 pages to keep me on track for the year I got 14 done which is not bad. Got distracted by cards, but I will make up the difference this month
finish current cross stitch project (can carry over to feb) Progress made, but if it gets finished in Feb, look for pigs dodging airplanes.
no new scrap supplies (adhesive exception) Justifiable failure. Did you want my mom to have ugly b-day invites? It was only a punch and a DCWV stack. I needed it
my goals for the year:
Finish 2009 wdw trip before we go in sept 1 page down, lots more to go...
do at least one page of dh's alaska pictures each month (i have no motivation for these pics) Don't tell DH. I can't find the album that he put all the pictures in. I'm not even sure I've seen it since the move
finish my sisters wedding book for my mom by the end of march Mom hasn't given me the pics so I can't start. Finish date may have to be moved, but hopefully not more than a month or two.
redecorate our bedroom I have ideas!
be a better house keeper still not perfect, but definite improvement.
spend more wisely on scrapbooking supplies even my slips last month were for planned uses
use more scraps used lots of them in Jan. Lots left to use though...

February:
Carry over all of my January goals
Finish organizing the scrap room.
Edit and print pics--don't get behind!
Finish that dang wreath.
20 scrapbook pages.
No new supplies (adhesive exception).
Significant progress on cross stitch.

Improve houskeeping.
Find the Alaska photo album .
Finish WDW 2009 before Sept.
30 minutes of exercise 3x a week.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

So far so good on my organizing goal!!! I organized almost all of my scraps last nigt and today (need two more binders). Organized some of my heavily used scrap supplies as well as the things I am currently working on (swaps and 2010 Disney trip). So, that's awesome!!! I think I may actually work on photos tomorrow to chip away at that goal also!!! I still have plenty more organizing to do, but it's a start!! And, I am going to swap and scrap tonight and tomorrow!! Loving the motivation I have right now! I feel so happy with all I accomplished today that it has my creative juices flowing!!

[wdwmickey]

Buffy--those savings are amazing!

I think I'll borrow your idea and put the money we don't spend on eating out into a trip jar We already save all of our change.

Looking at your food savings I may need to look at using coupons.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Thanks Cheryl!!

Nancy and I get together every Thursday and clip coupons. We email each other the weekly online coupon sites. I have a binder with baseball card page protectors and I have everything sorted by category. It really helps with keeping my stuff organized.

The $700 includes sales at the clothing stores, Kohls cash, buy one get one 1/2 off at Famous Footwear, coupons and reusable bag discounts. Basically anything I would have purchased at full price but didn't, I added to the savings.

For change, if I pay for anything in cash I pay with paper money and all the change goes into the Disney bucket.
you can also do that in your checkbook. I used to round up any amount for checks and debit card purchases to the next dollar. But it got to the point where I couldn't keep track and keep the checkbook balanced. LOL

Our eating out bill in Jan 2010 was $1044, this January was $100. Granted my groceries went up but I still spent $300 less then we did in Jan 2010.

- Scrap current events yeah...have to catch up here!
- 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. still have not started this either
- Keep up on the printing of photos!!!! got more of these done...have almost all organized by size and all are edited...need to finish 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! 777 after February

For February:

- Edit and order all photos on computer getting there...should be done soon!
- Scrap all January and February pictures coulda shoulda woulda

- Finish Surprise swap done
- 1/2 done with MK swap almost 1/2 way
- 1/2 done with letter swap just started

Misc:

- Print all pictures and keep printing!! trying
- Keep house in order and sparkly clean (I feel more creative in a clean and organized environment for whatever reason) doing it!!!
- Stick to our once a week family day...has to be a movie, game, outdoor activity, project, etc. I think so...this month was crazy...too crazy to remember
- 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) DOING THIS ONE!!! Down 5 pounds so far!!
- 2 dates per month with the hubsyep...did it!!

Need to reassess, reevaluate and move forward for March.
