What's new

I "don't" got this...

I'm 13 behind now, think I'm going to have to do at least 2-3 a day to catch up and hope I don't leave the tough ones til last
 
I am right there with you. I went back to work, took on too many responsibilities at my kids' school and tore my house up to renovate. I started MOC because it's my "me" time. I'd love to finish but I've made a commitment to myself to keep going, even if I don't finish on time.
 
I have no delusions of finishing!!! I am just enjoying actually scrapping again. I am not going to stress. And I am with @AnneofAlamo somedays just getting out of bed is the accomplishment!

Just enjoy and do what you can and don't stress, it will take the fun out of it!
 
After an unplanned (but awesome!) 6 day trip to visit our granddaughter I spent time on the flight home taking notes/pic & kit ideas on the 10 challenges I needed to catch up on. I decided to get back into the “groove” with the simple template challenge and then take on the dispersion technique which I was very intimidated by. I figured if I couldn’t get past it that was my end point, but I would continue to do what I could.

It did take some time - but after closely following the instructions and catching my own mistakes I was happy to call the dispersion challenge complete! And, I was so relieved/excited that I completed 3 more challenges so I think I’m back within reach. Tomorrow I will tackle the next 2 technique challenges and hopefully finish a couple of the simpler ones. Fingers crossed.

Whether you finish or not, you've moved to a different country AND have a clean and tidy place to live AND you're already catching up on work stuff! I'd say you are rocking life right now! You know you can do hard things, so if you want to finish MOC... I know you can do it! But if you don't want to, just do the ones that you know you'll want to have in your albums and skip the rest. :) Also, if you do finish, you deserve some kind of special badge reward! :)

Thanks for the boost!! :) I'm not used to being very domestic. This morning I cooked fried potatoes (like my grandmother used to make)... and I've never done that. Not only did I do it, they tasted great. It's such a change for me right now. My husband did say if I kept up with laundry this well, he'd have brought less clothes.

Oh and I completed TWO big amazon orders. We have a bookshelf on the way and some items to help organize us in this tiny space. lol. Next up is ordering wine. I found it in a 6 pack of bottles. :dancebun
 
Does anyone on here who's behind want to join a facebook challenge support group? lol...
 
I went on a trip, am in the middle of a house renovation, and I was way behind. Then yesterday, I played hooky from life and scrapped 8 pages! I'm pretty sure that is a record for me. I kept them simple and I already had an idea of what I wanted to do. So it can be done.

Now I have two challenges left to catch up and they are not my favorites. I am determined to finish. But I really need to go unpack some more boxes...
 
Inhale, count to ten, exhale.
The layouts you were meant to do will get done.
I read all of the posts on this thread but I forgot who wrote what; I really liked the idea of picking and choosing your favorite few challenges and just doing those. That way, you can have FUN with the rest of your month.
 
Take it one day at a time. Except maybe don’t stress about finishing it and spend the cherished time with your husband making new memories! So glad you made it there safely and you two are once again reunited!!
