    I knew I was a couple of days behind, but I didn't realize a whole WEEK. Ugh!

    Do what you can and then if you get a chance do a little bit more. Some were fairly easy like the template. Hang in there. There is plenty of time to catch up.

    I am behind too, doing Day 10 at the moment. My daughter was having an extended stay with my parents after Christmas, so I lost most of a day going to pick them up from the airport, and now there is lots of catching up and "Shopping with Nanny" to do.
    Then The Sims4 had a big update that added toddlers, so Melody wants to have a turn, but she can only play it on my computer at the moment. Yikes!

    We just have to keep doing what we can and we can absolutely catch up!
    I've been doing my journalling (and leaving gallery love) while I sit with my little boy at night. Every little bit counts!

    I am 4 behind if I include today's challenge - just don't think about it and chugh on ahead!! I feel if I have an outline of what I want to do in a particular challenge - I go through it quicker! See if that helps ?

    I love working from the most recent backwards. Good luck with your catch-up. One week is easier than 2 weeks so keep at it!

    You can do it!! Don't get overwhelmed and try to catch up all at one time. Maybe do an extra page each day until you're caught up, or look for a time when you could squeeze in an extra page. Do the ones that are easier for you and save the more difficult ones when you have more time. Hang in there!!

    The good thing is you still have lots of time so don't stress.

    You can do it! I know you can!! I was able to whip out three challenges yesterday afternoon all while potty-training and having a migraine. You've got this!! I know you can do it! <3

    I'm 10 days behind :). I work best under pressure though. I always get behind but have completed this both times I've tried. I just try to jot down ideas and then it'll come easier.

    I'm way behind . . . but I'm not stressing or fretting about it. I will get there. Slow and steady wins the race. Now. To stop chatting and get to scrapping. Ha!

    Good luck!!!

    Oh my, I feel guilty being retired with nothing to do but------SCRAP!! But, believe me, it wasn't always this way. I remember working full time; going to college full time and raising 5 kids! Good thing we didn't have digi scrapping back then!!!!! I agree with Jan. Add an extra page each day. YOU CAN AND YOU WILL!!!! :byay

    :helpy OMG I SO needed to read all of this!! I'm 7 days behind, but I am slowly catching up to myself....if that makes sense lol. But I stress, oy do I stress. And I say to myself, don't stress, you'll get there.....so I really REALLY needed to read that there are others like me that boinked out here and there. Like Nancy P. - I'm retired, but my back hurts if I sit too long so that's my excuse. jwalls39 talked me off the cliff yesterday, and you all did this morning.

    Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! etc etc etc..... :blahblahblah:blahblahblah:sense

    I am 3 days behind, but that's partly because I skipped a few to have more time... waiting for inspiration to hit and partly because instead of scrapping on Saturday I was rebuilding my computer. yuck! :giggle I have a friend coming over this weekend to scrap, so I will catch up... eventually! :)
