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???

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.

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

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

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]

wow! you're fast!

I finished 10. 8 more to go!

That's awesome, Jen! Every page scrapped is an accomplishment!

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!

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

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

I know, right!? I'm super impressed!

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!

I have ZERO done! :( Maybe next month!

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! ;)

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.

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

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.

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!

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

I have 7 done, not sure to finish this month

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.

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!

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!!!

That's awesome, Cindy! Which ones have you found most challenging?

Wow! Keep it up and you'll be done by the end of the month!!

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!!

Next month should slow down with the kids back in school, Dawn!

That's awesome, Amie! With only 5 more to go, you won't have a problem!!

It sounds like you've had a rough time, Gemma! Hang in there! :wub:

That's fantastic, Carolyn!! You can do it!!

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

12 is awesome, Ally!! Which ones are you struggling with? Maybe someone can give you some ideas?

Wow!! That's fabulous, Amy!!

7 is great, Aud! Keep plugging along! :)

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!

You've definitely had a busy month so far, Rebecca! I hope you enjoy your school year!

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!!

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

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!

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.

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 :)

Aaaw!! You're not a mess! Sometimes real life takes over. You'll get back on track soon :wub:

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

I have 12 done!!!!!! :w00t::w00t::w00t:

I think I can do six more before the end of the month ... :blink:

That's awesome, Deborrah!!!
I think you can definitely do 6 more!

Update - I have 3 to go :o Barring some sort of catastrophe, I'll get it finished no problems :D Kinda getting excited about 40% discount coupon :w00t::w00t::w00t:

That's awesome, Carolyn!!! :w00t: That 40% off is so worth it!

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.

So dang cool! You're so close! :)

I have 4 to do yet...#9, #10, #13, & #14.

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!

That's fabulous, Lynn!! You're almost there!

I just went over the half-way mark. Seven left to go!! I'm plugging along slowly :p

OMGosh I didn't think I would make it this month, but I have one more layout to go!

ME too!!

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!

Way to go, Amy!! :w00t:

That's awesome, Lynn!! :thumbup:

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!

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!!

Happy to say I finished mine with a few days to spare [emoji846] now to work out what I’ll be spending that 40% discount on [emoji1787][emoji1787]
