August Passport
 
It's the end of summer, kids are going back to school and temperatures are up.
We're about mid-month... this is your monthly Passport check-in.
How are you doing on your Passport???

craftytam 08-15-2019 01:37 PM

I only have 5 done so far. I'm still slow-scrapping. I've been taking my splint off most days, but trying not to overdo it. I really end up getting only 1 page done on days that I spend scrapping.

jaye 08-15-2019 01:58 PM

I managed to get my finished and pretty happy with myself. :)

Wow!! You're already done?? That's awesome, Jaye!! :w00t:

scrappy.jen 08-15-2019 02:01 PM

I have 3 done and 2 in the works. I‘m not sure if I’ll get the full passport but I’ll have the minimum- and that’ll be a first for me!! I’m at least keeping up with the Getaway Challenge. [emoji4]

LOL!! Lea, at first I read this as "I finished 10.8" I was trying to figure out how you decided on the .8 :p
You're doing fantastic!! More than 1/2 way done is awesome!

icindi 08-15-2019 09:59 PM

I have 11 finished. Some of them are really challenging me this month!

DivaMom96 08-15-2019 10:02 PM

Well, I have eight done, with about three in the works. First time ever doing this - 18 layouts? WOW!

cherrygutz 08-15-2019 10:31 PM

I'm slow this month, not sure why but maybe it's the muggy-ness. So hot this summer, I feel like my house is near the sun!

aussiegirl 08-15-2019 10:53 PM

I have ZERO done! :( Maybe next month!

AmieN1 08-15-2019 10:53 PM

After I post a few with this weekend's new releases- I'll only have 5 more to go! I'm trying to work ahead a bit this month with the Getaway challenges, as well as being out of town a lot of August has me feeling a bit nervous I wont finish! Going for blackout! ;)

Gemma 08-16-2019 03:39 AM

I think I’ve got 4 or 5 done. Not as many as I had hoped but life hasn’t been good right now so The fact I have done any is a bonus for me.

CarolynK 08-16-2019 08:22 AM

This is the first time I think I actually have a chance of finishing it LOL I have 11 out of 18 challenges done. Just 7 more to go, and I'm determined to finish it this month :D

immaculeah 08-16-2019 09:00 AM

I only have 6 so far and we're going on vacation for a week starting Wednesday (8/21) so I probably have time to do just a couple more this weekend. However, I'll do my best to do all the Summer Getaway challenges by Sept 4 deadline.

allyanne 08-16-2019 09:01 AM

I have 12 done, but I'm not feeling the rest of it just now. I need to start thinking outside the box, I guess!

amy_hart 08-16-2019 09:59 AM

I'm almost done. 5 more pages to do!

angels 08-16-2019 07:31 PM

I have 7 done, not sure to finish this month

angiekey 08-16-2019 07:51 PM

I started this month at a 4-day creative retreat, so I was able to get organized with my Passport and got off to a good start. I've got 12 done and 6 to go.

I've tried to be strategic about making my scrapbooking time count double, so that a single layout fulfills a Summer Getaway challenge as well as a Passport challenge. I'm super grateful we can double-dip in that way!

This would be my first time ever finishing a Passport, so that's what I'm working towards.

knittingbec 08-17-2019 01:23 AM

Umm....2. The first half of the month has been busy wrapping up our trip to the states, having my dad here with us for a week, and getting my kids & my classroom ready for back to school--extra challenging this year, as I always sew my kids' backpacks but this is the first year they start on the same day of school----and the first time *I* also start on the same day as they do!
I'm hopeful that I'll get a lot done after school starts, since I'm teaching 1/2 day & my kids go full day... will use those hours catching up!

JennNtheBoys 08-17-2019 09:42 AM

I am not doing great this month :( I just can't seem to find a scrappy groove (I can barely force myself to get the summer getaway challenges done on time), so I'm calling this a 'don't stress about it month'..... I'll still scrap, and if it fits a challenge great! if it doesn't, i'm not too worried about it. I cannot wait until September when the kids are back in school!!!

We all have months like that, Cherry :) LOL!! I'm not a fan of summer, and I would not be a happy camper if my house felt like that!!

Summer can be a little more difficult for completing the Passport, Leah. But remember, every LO done is an accomplishment!!

What an awesome way to start the month!! I'd love to hear about the retreat!
I'm thankful for double-dipping, too! I doubt I'd be able to finish both if they had to be different LOs.

I'm excited to see your completed Passport, Angie!

I've been in a similar state of mind this month, Jenn. I like your "don't stress about it month"!! Good for you!
The kids going back to school should be a "National Vacation for Moms" Day!!

Neverland Scraps 08-18-2019 12:16 AM

I'd like to say that I'm done....

https://media1.tenor.com/images/ab64...temid=11983745

https://media.tenor.com/images/bcc42...e8cc/tenor.gif

Seriously I JUST got my printer hooked up and talking to my computer. I might not be able to scan or anything else, but I can print (thank you, Father!!). So now that I can print, I have to print my tracker so I can cross off what I've done because I really have no clue what I've scrapped or what's needing to be done!

https://media2.giphy.com/media/69jAW...MKWZ/giphy.gif

I'd like to say half is done? I've written it down, but with still unpacking (I know right!!!!), it keeps going missing because I'm using that notebook for notes, doctor appointments, addresses.

biancka 08-18-2019 03:55 AM

I am so behind, it's ridiculous. We've been so busy with our garden, our sons room and now organizing what does/doesn't go back in his room that I hardly have had any time to scrap. I hope to get back into scrapping again soon...one more week of my husband being home until he goes back to work and school starts again on Sept 2nd for us. I love having my guys home but I also can't wait for life to get back to normal again :)

I'm glad you're on the "back to normal" countdown, Biancka!

DivaMom96 08-18-2019 09:20 PM

CarolynK 08-21-2019 11:43 PM

tamhuddle 08-22-2019 01:33 PM

I have a whopping seven done. I've enjoyed trying to work the passport into my "normal" way of scrapping. It's making some of my pages have a different style than my usual and flipping through them (before I get to printing them), I've decided it's not a bad thing and I'm keeping them. :D I've also been working the Summer Getaway challenge. I've only used one as double duty for the passport because I'm TRYING to challenge myself to keep them separate.

Having seven done is awesome!! It's fun to try different styles. You never know, you might like something that you never thought you'd like!

knittingbec 08-24-2019 12:34 PM

I'm not sure if this is my month... not completely throwing in the towel yet, BUT yesterday afternoon I got switched from teaching preschool to teaching kindergarten! (School already started on Thursday, so I have no time to process & plan for my move!) I'll be my daughter's teacher (again)! For the most part, I'm excited about it and I know it's a compliment that they wanted me to move, but...a little overwhelmed and also mourning the loss of the "freedom" I had in preschool. Now I'll have more deadlines and..... recess duty! Still working only a half-day though, so maybe I'll get to at least 12 on my passport by next week!

Wow Rebecca! That's a big change last minute. I hope you settle in quickly. I'm sure your daughter will enjoy having you as her teacher again!

craftytam 08-24-2019 02:58 PM

I just crossed the half-way mark. I really would like to finish... we'll see!! I think I can... I think I can... I think I can!!

CarolynK 08-25-2019 09:58 PM
