Default Getting Mojo Back! What are you working on?

I think I killed my mojo when I scrapped our Disney trip in record time earlier this year and then working on books for DD's graduation.

But I think it's finally back. I sat down over the last few days and I I've managed to figure out exactly how many pages I need to work on to get myself caught up. I've planned them all out, I'm ready to wrap up 2022 and 2023!

What are you all working on, any pressing projects? Holiday gifts, etc?

Yea for getting your mojo back Vanessa! I don't have any pressing digital projects happening right now, however; have started making our 2023 Christmas cards (stamping, embossing, etc).

My mojo dipped out earlier this year. I've been tagging photos and organizing DS supplies. I've started scrapping a tiny bit, but it's slow-going. (I mean, I turned on my computer to scrap, and yet here I am...on SSD instead of scrapping rofl. I feel like Dug in Up: SQUIRREL!)

My goal is to wrap everything up before January, not counting December. I think if I can average 2-3 pages a day, I’ll make that goal!

No planned projects for me. Although, I've been on a designer's creative team since 2016 and she does a monthly kit every year so I have made a CT LO each month since 2016 that is kind of a recap of each month for our family of 5. I was thinking about getting them printed. I really want to take some family pictures while my daughter is home for college and get some magnets made for family as gifts. I used to take pictures every year and send out photo cards, but with the price of stamps and the fact that people don't send a card back, I stopped doing it. I thought a magnet would be something cute everyone could use.

I am about to do another holiday faves for Christmas... still contemplating on the currency rates, but I'd most likely dive right in again...

I did a lot of major crafting for the baby shower and may have "crafted" myself out. I think it is time to do some organizing of the craft room I totally destroyed. LOL

I need to do the 2024 calendars. I long ago stopped wanting to do them but I don't think my mom would be happy if I quit. One year I did just a very basic one and she did not enjoy it as much.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to carve out the time to make books for each of my grandsons from our trip to Disneyland in January to give them for Christmas, or if I'll just do it slowly and give them the books when I'm finished.

I'm the same, Vanessa! I've been in such a funk, but this week, my husband wanted me to use my scrapbook skills to make something for his work, and it got me back in the groove. I spent an hour organizing my photos from 2022 and finished scrapping July. I've still got the rest of the year to scrap, but I'm excited to be back in it.

I am in a scrapping rut...started a new business and work has kept me moving all day. I am exhausted by the end of the day. We also recently painted the whole house and it has been a whirlwind around here putting the house back together as well.

I've been very productive lately!

I finished 20-page albums for our honeymoon in September and our fall break trip to FL in October. I lost a handful of pages from last year's Countdown to Christmas album and was so irritated that I refused to remake them until now. I have 3 to go, and that album will also be complete. I also finished a 60-page photos-only coffee table style book of our wedding photos that I'm holding onto until the new year and the unlimited pages sale at Shutterfly.

I will work on a regular wedding scrapbook (with all the words & feelings - ha!) over the next few months + of course create a 2023 Countdown to Christmas album.

No, I have not. I really meant to, but I was so busy hosting, I didn't. I know other people did and I will try to hunt some down to share.

Yes, this is me too! I've been working on a calendar for my mom and once we do pictures at Thanksgiving I should be able to wrap it up fairly quickly. I used to have rules for doing the calendar like, I'll only use January pictures to do January. Now, it's just a free for all. I've saved all of my quick page calendar pages into one file and re-use some of them over and over. Whatever works to get it done quickly!

I'm behind on all my scrapping, so I just need to dive in and get some pages done, but next week will be crazy, then I'll have to decorate for Christmas, so I don't see much scrapping time for me coming up.
