July 2019 Memory Planner Pages

Crafting has not gone well lately, but I did at least finish out my Memory Planner pages for July.

September Crafting Goals

A recap of last month’s goals:

• Figure out this whole crafting thing - I have officially lost some crafting inspiration and momentum. I spent most of August thinking about what brought me joy. Jumping into September anew.

September’s Goals:

• Arthur’s 2018 PL Album (January - March) - 2017’s album is buried in the attic right now. It might or might not be finished. So I made the executive decision to not worry about that right now and just dive in 2018’s album.

• Post rest of yard sale items - Destashing a bit.

• Organize PL supplies - Deciding on kits to use for the 2019 album.

• Pick a week for WITL - Probably mid-September.

• July and August MP pages - The usual.

• Make a card or two - Completely fallen off the wagon with this…

• Decide on rest of birthday party crafts/games/decor - We’re doing a robots vs. aliens theme this year.

• Pick Halloween party crafts and games - I signed up to be one of the party coordinators for Arthur’s class. We do a Halloween and a Valentine’s Day party.

Sunday Haul #11

I couldn’t resist these Halloween, fall, and school stickers from Brianna Nicole Designz. Can‘t wait to use my Hocus Pocus kit!

My exchange gift came and included these amazing Frixion pens. There will be used in my planner most likely.

And finally I took advantage of Stampin’ Up!’s Bonus Days and put in an order to earn some coupons for August. I bought:

• All Wired Up Stamp Set

• Capture the Good Stamp Set

• Beautiful Baubles Stamp Set (can’t wait to color these!)

• Real Red Blends

• Highland Heather Blends

• Flirty Flamingo Blends

• Soft Suede Blends

• See a Silhouette DSP

August Crafting Goals

A recap of last month’s goals:

• May and June MP Pages - Success!! Staying on top of this task.

• Create 10 cards (classes and for the blog) - Utter fail… life has been so busy that I just haven’t had time to create.

• Schedule classes for the month - Fail.

August’s Goals:

• Figure out this whole crafting thing… (More details to come, but things are changing around my house)
