2017 is almost here !!
Well, that's another year nearly over. Hope everyone has had some good times in 2016, and has many more good times in the years to come.
Does anyone have any scrapping/crafting plans for the new year ?
I'm not going to call them resolutions but I do plan ...
Not to buy any cards in 2017 but make them all myself to use up some stash (hope Nat's card challenge is continuing )
To do a record of the year, along the lines of document 2010 that shimelle shared with us all those years ago ( I still need to finish 2010!)
To get my photos sorted into some kind of order
To get my December Daily/JYC finished by the end of January !!
I think that's enough for the time being
What does everyone else have planned ?
I'm looking forward to seeing what UKS brings in the new year. I love coming here most days and finding inspiration for my scrapping, and catching up with the lovely people I am getting to know on here. I love the weekly and monthly challenges, even though I don't always get round to doing them in time. Thankyou karen for all your hard work in getting these organised, and thanks to all those people in the background that I don't know about who keep the UKs site up and running
Thanks also to Sue for blogbits, Jemma for SLYMIR and craftyprincess for simple recipes, where would we be without you
I know there is a UKS winter SNAP challenge coming up very soon, looking forward to that, the summer one was so much fun
Happy New Year to you all xxx

I echo those sentiments Alison.
Lots to look forward to.
As for plans? I'm going to three retreats this year..and I hope to have some more 'me' time and not having to keep running around after others all the time!
Can't wait for the winter Snap challenge.

Happy New Year, Alison and Elaine, and all UK Scrappers.
This year I will tidy up my craftroom and have a really good sort out - I've been promising to do it for so long
I will start my Christmas card making sooner.
The Winter Snap! Challenge is all ready and set to go, probably Sunday as that is the first of the month.

I would love to really get into my craft room, and make it useable, because sometimes I cannot find what I am desperate for.
Continue with my de-cluttering, and finish my wardrobe
I will make a start after the 5th of January, who's me luck, as I do for all of you
Happy New Year

What have we here Watson?
Happy New Year everyone.
I really need to get my craft stuff sorted & organised - it is such a mess that I just can't find what I know I have.
I will play with a few more "batch" ideas for Christmas cards this year as it was something that worked well for me in 2016.

Yay, thanks Nat x
I too want to do some batch Christmas cards throughout the year
My friends and I who meet once a week have decided to have a card making night once a month, which must include Christmas cards
I'd love to be able to find everything in my craft room too

Just call me DC8!!
I have made the opposite decision to you Alison! I've decided to stop making birthday/Christmas cards for everyone and will only make them for special occasions and close family at Christmas time so that I can concentrate fully on scrap-booking. I've been toying with the idea for a number of years but didn't want to upset anyone, but the decision was made when our some of our family sent us teeny tiny (less than 3" square Christmas cards) - I suppose I should be grateful to recieve a card at all but I had laboured long and hard over their 8x8 creations!

Definitely, and I'll have more time to dedicate now that the list of special people has been significantly culled

Who knows if I'll put that theory to the test!
That's what I did for Christmas 2016, for close friends I chose a design that was easily repeatable so that I could cut out several components in one sitting then did a factory line style of assembly afterwards, very satisfying
