Another 7 in 7 challenge

Last week I pretty much spent the whole week digi-scrappping. I got on top of my boy's album which is good!! Poor boy - I hadn't scrapped much in 2 years! I'm planning on getting on top of this all so I can do a big order from a printing place in the US.

So I thought I wouldn't go into this week aimless. I'm going to attempt another 7 in 7, since it worked so well last time! If anyone is going to join me, please leave a comment as well as a link to your blog with your 7 in 7 so we can all take a sticky beak!

1. Finish Mop's album (I'm about 2 years behind!)
2. Finish Milly's album (I'm about 1 year behind!)
3. Finish my grandparents album for Xmas (8 layouts)
4. Make a start on our family album (I'm about 4 years behind!!)
5. Sew up a shopping bag for Mum for her 5kg reward
6. Cut up wadding for Milly's raggy quilt.
7. Get all Milly's fabric and wadding sewn together, ready for assembly

It's going to be a relatively quiet week, so getting all this done will be awesome!

That was an incredibly motivating week, knowing I had you watching me and being accountable to you! I'm so pleased I got some of those tasks done, that were sitting on my ever-growing pile of TO DO.

This week I plan to really buckle down and get some album pages done for my kids. I've really slacked off in their albums, because I can't afford to get them printed. I was referred to a place that will print 12x12's for me for a fraction of the cost! So now that I can afford to print them, I better get on top of them!
I'm so excited that my kids will see themselves growing up from newborn to now in their very own albums, scrapped by their Mummy. :)

Dani, thankyou for joining me on this challenge. I loved seeing your projects and it was lovely having the company. :)

This is Mop's quilt top. It's not completely finished because I plan to embroider and applique on this still.
