September Crafting Goals

Sep1.jpeg

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.
