If you have been visiting my blog over the past couple of years, you may remember that every Christmas I make my MIL a calendar. I am behind this year because we aren't celebrating Christmas until January 8th, so of course, I procrastinated! lol! Anyways, here are the first three pages I have finished for this year's calendar. I decided to do it digitally this year, which didn't make Randy happy at all, but since we now have nine grandkids, it's much easier to fit more pictures digitally than traditionally, it's a bit quicker, too, especially not having to clean up!
Caught back up! I just might complete this project this year! Which would be amazing, since I did not completely finish it last year, it was close, but just not quite done!
WooHoo! Finally all caught up! I've even finished this weeks! So super happy about that because I was starting to worry that I wouldn't finish this project, I get like that when I get behind sometimes!
As you can see, the page above is from Halloween week. I've been trying to do something special if there's a big holiday that week.
I forgot about Veteran's day when I chose the paper for this week, otherwise, I should have done something more patriotic. Ah well, I guess.
I'm still not doing great at taking a picture every single day, or even making up for the days I don't, but, you know, I'm okay with that! I will try to be better about it, but, I'm not going to stress about it.
WooHoo!! Got two more layouts done! And I got them loaded in the right order, too!
Only 2 behind now!
First of all, I can't believe I finally loaded these in the right order! I'm sure I will forget what I did by the next time I update my blog, but oh well!
As you can see, I've still been pretty bad about getting the pictures taken, I hope I can fix that problem, sometimes, when you work at home and don't leave the house that often, it gets to be hard to find things to take pictures of. I admit, a lot of it's just plain laziness lately!
So, I think I'm only 5 weeks behind now, about to move into October. I'm thinking I might try to keep working on it this week, while I'm in the mode. But, you know, I've said that before! I am determined to complete this project this year, and if I could just get caught back up, I'm sure I could get it done completely by the first week of next year. We'll see, I guess.
I was a little shocked earlier this week when I discovered that I was nearly 8 weeks behind on my P365 layouts! Not only that, I hadn't even organized my pictures for the project in a month! So, I got to work and got the organizing done and I did manage to get 2 layouts done, too! Just 6 more to go! lol! I'm hoping to get caught up next week, or the week after for sure! This is why I tried so hard not to fall behind all year, I knew it would be very tough to catch up! Not to mention, it's hard to remember that far back! I also have gotten very bad at even taking a picture every single day! Some days I don't take any, and other days (football days to be exact) I can take up to 400! Geesh! I also am usually good about taking pictures to fill in the gaps, but I haven't even been doing that!
Do you think flowers & flourishes are at home on the same page as football pictures? Ah well!
Well, wouldn't you know that I didn't get them loaded in the right order, that's what happens when I don't post enough! So anyways, I'm only one week behind now! LOL! Main kit is Crazy Little Thing by BellaGypsy from gottapixel.net
As always, thanks for looking and I hope to be back sooner than last time! LOL!
Here is last weeks P365, the kit I used was mainly Atomic Cool by BellaGypsy from gottapixel.net I'm caught up! WooHoo!
As always, thanks for looking!
Hal of my family is always relunctant to take a picture, but after some pouting about the subject, the relented and let my SIL take this picture of us on the deck of our vacation house in South Dakota! I really love this picture!
Not sure what got into me, but I decided I really need to be scrapping, so I used nearly every spare moment today doing some digi! 
Thanks so much for looking, and who knows? Maybe I will be back with some more tomorrow!
After being consistently behind for 1-2 weeks, I have finally caught up on P365! Above is week 27. I veered from my usual pattern of doing 4 layouts with the same paper theme, I decided to do a special theme for the 4th of July. I used stars & stripes by Lindsay Jane from gottapixel.net
I'm thinking I should be able to get next weeks done, but then I will fall behind again because of 4-H fair, but a couple of weeks isn't too bad!
The girls form the P365 group decided to do a layout to celebrate the halfway point of the year, everyone contributed an idea to form the layout, stripes, bullet journaling, pink, purple & green color scheme, the number & size of the pics, the banner title, lowercase, etc. this is mine. I did it traditionally, which was nice, used 4 cricut cartridges, which was awesome too, since I haven't been using my cricut near enough!
As always, thanks for looking & I love your comments!
Here's this weeks P365 layout. Wish I could find some motivation to do more! Thanks for looking!
Okay, I need some serious advice: what do you all think of the above? I took Brandon's team pictures the other night and thought I might make my own memory mates instead of using a template. If you were a parent who ordered one, would you be happy with this? I made a few small changes after I printed it out, but nothing major. I used Batter batter swing by Connie Prince from gottapixel.net
As always, thanks for looking!
So, I managed to finish a couple more layouts to upload for the Persnickety sale! these are the last of Easter this year, which is very exciting to me, because I haven't scrapped Easter 2009 or 2010 yet! Anyways, blogger still won't let me type where I want to for some reason so the above layout is for the family book. I used Bloom and Grow by Lindsay Jane from gottapixel.net I used the kit for both layouts. Tell me what you think of the first one? Is it funky? I think I like it!
I have a feeling I'm done for the week, I just don't have any more ideas to scrap right now, so I guess I will be happy with uploading 18 layouts to Persnickety tomorrow! YAY!
I have been having the hardest time with blogger lately, either I can't type where I want to, it underlines when I don't want it to, or I can't get it to post! I've never had so many problems! Anyways, above is last weeks P365 layout (week 17) I used the big Jan. kit from scraporchard.com as well as the capturing day by day kit by Isabelle Mendez from gottapixel.net The same kits I've been using all along, but I love that there are so many elements it's easy to mix them all up!
Persinickety prints is having a print sale starting this Friday May 6th, to celebrate NSD! I am excited to print as now I am up to 16 (hoping to have a few more by then, too) and I have a nice credit to my account thanks to a very dear friend! (thanks again, Tammy!)
