Wow, I just realized today that we are almost half-way through the month already, and then I freaked out because things have not gone to plan for me.

I started off really strong the first few days and practically lived in the gallery, but then the family noticed I was having too much fun.

Real Life has a way of creeping in doesn't it?!

So my plan was to check in daily and keep up, never getting more than a day behind because I was afraid I would loose my motivation.

Then about the time Anne's challenge came up (which I still have not finished :whistle) everything here went crazy- the kids got needy, the hubbs got sick and the water pipes broke flooding our kitchen - AGAIN - (do not get me started on that again). So I had to take a few days off to DEAL!

I think I can still catch up, at least I am gonna try! I am still LOVIN the gallery though - WOW!

What about you guys? Have you been able to keep up or is that real life sneaking in on anyone else?
 
I'm pretty up to date - photoless is done but needs uploading to the gallery and yesterday's template has been started, hopefully finish today

I'm doing PL too so I did a 2 page spread yesterday - might take a break for "Life" today then I'll catch up
 
WOW, great job you guys! (a wee bit jealous!)

and I totally agree Lorry! Unfortunately hubby told me he cannot go to work looking like a homeless man - so I guess I better teach the preteen how to do a load or two!
 
I'm up to date. Somehow I'm not panicked about time - just ideas... I'm nervous about what those clever Pollys might throw our way next.:stash
 
I'm with Lorry... but I've gotten DH to do a load or two, lol!

I'm about a day behind... so I'll do the 12th tonight, and start today's challenge. Hoping to even it all out on the weekend!

Ha, I think my husband has noticed the same thing. I'm still caught up on pages, but I have design work to do and laundry and I'm not sure it's going to last without my husband banning me from the computer.

In fact, I snuck in to check the challenge when I really should be designing. So I need to go off and do that.

You can totally get caught up, Erin! You're such a fast and amazing scrapper. :flirty
 
I'm caught up except for today and I "hope" to get a chance this evening for that one. I don't want to get behind this week, because I know that next week I have a couple of committments that will probably keep me from having time to complete the challenges on those days. So I'll have some catching up to do as we push for the finish. I'm so glad that the 31st in on a Saturday and the 1st a Sunday. There's hope that I'll be able to recover.

But, yep housework, cooking and laundry are over-rated right now. Doing my best to keep focused at work and fit in a little exercise.
 
I was so proud of myself for doing a page each day. And then, I didn't. Suddenly, I was 5 days behind! I am working to catch up now and I have only 2 layouts to go.
 
I'm very, for now for my first MOC I've done the 13 challenges !!!!! :yesss
 
I finished up to the photoless challenge and then I lost my momentum! Plus I'm working on my challenge that comes later in the month. I'm hoping to catch up by the weekend but that might just be wishful thinking - I've got a pretty busy schedule at home this week.
 
My first MOC and I'm up to date... all 13 challenges completed. :yesss

Washing, ironing housework all done too, but then there is only me so my home doesn't get dirty and is so easy to keep clean. I'm up at 5 am every morning when I go for a 45 min walk, after which I do a little housework and then shower before I leave for work.

I'm hoping nothing changes to my schedule so that I can stay on top of the challenges.
 
I'm 1/3 of the way to being caught up. That sounds much better than "I've only done 5 layouts", doesn't it? ;)

I'll cut myself a little slack, though, since I decided to join in just two days ago. I'm stunned that I've done five layouts in two days - that's easily more than double what I averaged a month last year. <cringe>

But tomorrow is my birthday, and I've decided I'm going to treat myself to the day spent in my PJs in front of the computer. Woo hoo - here's to catching up!
 
:groan tell me about it


I'm still trying to catch up, I got delayed more or less same as you...Anne's challenge deserved a photo that was not just any photo, and that day I had the 4th argument with the car dealers, then Sarita's operation was about to happen...
and then when one thing comes, 2000 others conspire to happen at the same time... I'm slowly getting back to scrapping....
 
a day behind- hopefully will get the 12th done and start on todays...irritating how work/life can get in the way sometimes ;)
 
So far behind!! And really feeling down. Not that I'm behind but just me. I'm not 100%. It's hard because if I'm not doing a layout every day or two I don't feel right.
 
Awww - it seems we are all over the place.

Well, congrats to those of you who are caught up! Keep it going girls!

And those of you catching up, you are inspiring me, I can do this (and Thanks Kim - right now I am hoping I don't catch Hubby's cold because I think that would be the end of me!)

So the rest of us who are a bit behind - We can do this! And yes, having fun is the goal, so thanks for the encouragement!

And I hear you Kimberly - I am the same way, if I don't create a little each day i get REAL grumpy, but the family has learned that! hang in there and i hope you get some creating time!

Have a happy day Y'all!
