April Showers

Yay!  The tracker looks amazing all filled in!  

There were some great challenges this month to inspire us to get all those pages finished.

It really is, he chose a pretty white one for me. It kind of has a cool design on the plastic too. 

What make is it? I want a white one.

Mine is white, too... a Seagate 4 TB EHD plus hub for Mac.  Lovely!

Congratulations  

Cathrine, my eldest, is  Ryan's mom. Lizzy and Amelia are his adoring big sisters. 

Oh that's so nice that Lizzy and Amelia have a baby brother, and that Ryan has his big sisters, too!

What a great event! Congratulations to all!

So glad for you! congrats to all the family!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!

More babies! Congrats.

Wonderful news! Congratulations to all.

Congrats my dear!

I ordered it last night and it should be here next week.  

Yay!  Good going, April!  

Wow, you've been working like crazy! Good for you getting all those pages done.

I made templates from previous years pages that I liked, and I've been reusing clusters as well. I select all the layers, copy them, then open a new file and it is just the right size for the cluster. I save it as a .tiff file so I can still move things around for my new page. It makes the pages go together fairly fast.

Wow, that’s a great plan and way to work.   I like that it’s fast - I spend way too much (mostly unnecessary time on these pages and think too much!).

That's great. Is it Shutterfly that has the coupon @April Showers

Yes, Beatrice, I wait for Shutterfly to do the unlimited pages coupons. I also had a 50% off coupon that my daughter got in a Carter's order, and they let you stack coupons. I had a $25 credit that they gave when my last book was delayed, so my book ended up being under $40 with postage.

That's such a great deal April!

Thank you @April Showers I have just corrected

April I changed mine so wait for a notification...I really like the "like" button thanks so much for that.

That is allot of LO.

Woohoo!

I've gotten a few more done since I posted!

Not a problem,  family first and visiting friends a very close second.

No worries, family first, take care and enjoy the time with your dad and friend. Happy weekend my dear!

Thinking of you and your family, April.  I hope these last few days have been peaceful.

Here is the article that goes over how I do my pages. https://scrapgirls.com/blog/scrap-girls-project-life-set-yourself-up-for-success

That's a great article, April.   Thanks for pointing it out.  😊

That's great about 2019! And I enjoyed your article -- There's lots of good info in it.

Completed Week 32! And I got more photos from the kids, so the weeks with sparse photos will be easier. ? Only 20 weeks to go (one of which has Thomas's wedding, so that will take about  6 pages. 

Another sale will always come along. And you want to spend a little time enjoying putting the wedding pages together, I'm sure!

Great job! Keep it up!

Thanks for doing this tracking April. Quite time consuming I'm sure!?

Photobucket totally changed up their business model and will only allow you to use links from their site when you sign up for their $39 monthly package. Yikes!

Yikes for sure, that's an amazing difference!   

I just noticed this and put a query in the Designer Forum about it. Image hosting is the only thing I've used them for and if we don't need it anymore I'll cancel my account with them. $400 a year is completely excessive.

There was a glitch in the process and he didn't get his passport replaced, so they had to cancel their trip.

Oh NOoooooooo... Sorry about that, oh dear.  

He did cancel the flights, so he only lost 30% of what he paid and can use the balance for a future trip.

I'll try and do this game but its been such a busy week for me I've missed all the others. Looks like everybody has had lots of fun though  

I knew I was meant to stay here and play for a bit before going down for a nap!

My favorite challenge (and sometimes most frustrating until I find a rhythm)  Thanks for doing this and keeping me from having to clean the house.

You can find it here. 

Oh noooooo....   I have so much to do but I KNOW I will get sucked in, it's addicting!  

Super busy times here, but I'll make a space and play it, I really love this game. Merry Christmas my dear!

It sounds more rigorous than it actually is.
"Required Tasks" earn you entries into the prize drawing. In all, there will only be 10 "required" tasks, and you don't need to complete them all - though 3 need to be layouts. 

Heading over and trying to catch up, thank you so much my dear. Happy New Year!
