    I love MOC so much that the next week or so I feel aimless! I want to scrap but I don't know what to scrap! I usually start doing the challenges about now. I know MOC is a HUGE thing with lots of work, but I wish it came around more than once a year!

    I have more time in my day, that's for sure. But I have a few projects that have taken a back burner, i.e. Finding Me in 2023. I have actually created a a couple of pages for that today. Hoping to get Finding Me done and off to Blurb soon along with my MOC.

    I came home from work yesterday ready to scrap one of the February challenges, but I had neglected house cleaning in January, so I started cleaning first and then was too tired to scrap lol Luckily, we have monthly challenges, plus Love Our Designers coming up. Those are good motivators to keep up the momentum from MOC!

    I'm sure I'll feel the same way soon, though I kind of feel a bit burnt out at least immediately after scrapping so much

    LOVE Our Designers starts on February 7th, so you have a week to rest up & then come back for daily challenges/scrapping for the next 40 days after! LOL!

    I felt like that last year, but this year MOC's been a real boost for me. I feel really inspired. Hope it will last, and that there won't be a dip in the near future.

    I agree, MOC was fun and it helps me get through summer and start the year off right.
    I love the monthly challenges, the designer challenges and art muse.
    There is usually something that piques me to create and play again.

    I had to jump right into some regular challenges and am organizing what I want to do with the rest of this month. Gotta keep the momentum going!

    I’m so happy I was able to finish the last three challenges yesterday! I usually get a bit of MOC hangover, but this year I will try to keep up with the ordinary monthly challenges in February. And of course the Love our designers event!

    I'm managed to finish the MOC but at one point I was sick for almost a week and it was hard to get those challenges done. I love the MOC but it will be nice to the normal challenges :)

    In past years I have kept up the MOC momentum and jumped right into monthly challenges or designer challenges on February 1. This year, however, it was a little hard to fit in my MOC scrapping and I was actually kind of relieved to not have to scrap every day anymore. But last year I didn't scrap very much at all and I aim to scrap every weekend this year.

    I love the MOC challenges, but this year, it was intense at times. My kitty died in the middle of it, and I'm still struggling to get over that, so is my dog. It feels like a dark cloud has descended upon my house. I've only looked at one Feb challenge so far & will complete, I usually do complete at least 7 so I can get the coupon. I will try to work on the challenges as the month goes by.
