Jen Morrison says
My goal for 2018 is to focus and simplify my life, my memory keeping, and my attitude. In memory keeping, I want to focus on the stories instead of the extras. Photos and stories are what I aim for. The rest is just noise.
Susan says
Can you ever be “caught up”? That’s my goal for 2018.
Myra says
My goal is to minimize and declutter – starting with photos! I also want to finish scanning all of my prints and make albums from old photos.
Kimberly O. says
Hi Cathy, my crafting goal is… To craft more!! I’m trying to get my room organized so that I don’t have to drag my Silhouette machine to the living room and cut on the floor! The cats love to watch the mat move.
Jenny says
I have a son graduating in June. I would love to get motivated to put together an album of high school memories for him.
Carolyn Wright says
This is so awesome. Thanks for the chance to win. My goal for 2018 is to put aside a day a month to work on my memory keeping projects such as Fit 2018, One Little Word and Project Life as I want to be creative along with my health & wellness journey in 2018.
Kayla Foister says
I’m making an adventure book for my partner and I. It will span the entire eight years since we’ve starting dating. I would like to finish it before his birthday in the summer.
Adriana Weingart says
Hello, Cathy!
So far, I have basically 2 goals for 2018, in terms of Memory Keeping / Crafting… One of them involves doing the Scrapbook Your Year course that I signed for on last November. Another one (and this will help me also with my Photography studies), is taking at least one picture each day in 2018 (and putting them in an album, of course).
I am considering some other things too, but so far, my brain is telling my heart that I need to focus – but they are still discussing over it, and I do not have a final answer yet… LOL
Thanks for this opportunity. I would be very happy to win it – and I bet the others would too 🙂
I would like to let registered my wishes for a great and blessed 2018 to you and yours!!!

sunny says
My goal is to go through boxes of photos I began accumulating in 1988 and moved from place to place (even across the country!) – and the boxes have been unopened since my last move in 2007. Time to go through the photos, pare down to the photos I love, and find the treasure to be documented in book form!
Teresa Mucha says
I would love to put my Project Life 365 yearly photos from Instagram into an album finally. This might inspire me to do that!
Kim Kern says
My goal for 2018 is to do weekly layouts and delete pictures weekly to decrease the number that I have.
Thanks for the giveaway!!!!
Kim
Diane says
To complete some of the incomplete albums and memory keeping projects I have started. And if nothing else, to get finished layouts into albums!

To finish my 2017 & 2016 PL pages. Have all the pages online, but need to just insert photos and type in some stats – then print, put into binders, and say “good enough, done!”
Barbara Ruby says
My goal for 2018 is to use or get rid of all the extra paper and embellishments I’ve been saving for years. I’ve run out of space!! Plus, I’m scrapping more digitally now and don’t think I need those things anymore.
Thanks, Cathy!
Kimberly Steven says
My memory keeping for goal for 2018 is pretty ambitious. I want to start albums for my daughter and two neices showcasing their birthdays each year then I will be able to add to it each year as a keepsake. I am going to get our Disney 2015 trip scrapped before our planned visit in 2019!
Gina says
My goal is to actually do something. I collect supplies and take photos and read blogs but alas, just don’t DO it.
Regina says
My photo related goals for 2018 are to first dedicate a little time each day to complete your online class I purchased months ago. Next is to move all those remaining photos out of Lr and into the organized file structure. Also to become more proficient at PhotoshopCC. Then create digital photo books by year, dating back to 2005 as well as classic photo albums with all the prints I have prior to that. I’m determined that 2018 is the year I’ll accomplish this by making it a priority each day!!! : ) Happy New Year!!!
Jennifer Klimowicz says
My goal is to stay motivated throughout the year. I get bored around June and have a hard time keeping up.

Vivian says
My goal is to actually get my memories documented and get rid of the notion that I have to use EVERY photo, but instead focus on the ones that tell the story.
Jodie B. says
My goal is to take an hour on the last day of each month (Note to self: it’s only 12; totally doable!) and make pages for that month.
Theresa Grdina says
My Crafty Goal for 2018 is to craft at least one time per week….while I am working full time!!! I rarely make it a priority and when I do, the results are fabulous!!! I feel better and I have created something…..gotta do it!
Jodi says
My goal is to get all of my grandma’s pictures scanned and organized finally
Laura BC says
My goal is to start jotting down the stories again. there’s just no excuse not to – it doesn’t require space and time to craft (although that’s the next step – I just don’t want to forget the stories while waiting for the time / space to play with all the things).
Lynn Ainsworth says
My goal is to get back to memory keeping… I dropped the ball years ago – and photos, etc are piling up. I am determined to get back on track! Happy New Year!
Sue Habib says
My goal for 2018 is summed up by Nike. “Just Do It.” I plan to take on several quick projects to get me going and then get back to some that have been gathering dust in my studio.
Claudia Holm says
My goal is to make a big dent in scrapbooking my grandchildren school years.
Natalie Schmidt says
My (scrapbooking and otherwise) goal for 2018 is to fully embrace my One Little Word of 2018: ‘progress’. Whether in noun or verb form, I’ll be using it within my creative projects and day to day life to progress in my organisational and documenting practices and be productive in my goals to ride the wave of positive momentum of better health begun in August of 2017. Yesterday, I enrolled in your FIT 2018, and cannot wait to document my journey of progress. 😀 Happy New Year, Zielske family, and thanks so much for the chance to win!
Denise C. says
My goals for crafting and memory keeping for 2018 include finishing all the classes I’ve bought but not done and trying to create for 15 minutes each day!
Ingunn says
I have two goals that morph into one – I want to finish up some of the unfinished albums I have been working on, and I want to put (almost) all of my pages from now on into one big family album. I’ve been keeping an album each for both my girls, a hiking album, a vacation album, a cabin trip album, a personal album…and when I look through my family album it looks like almost nothing happened in 2017 even though it was jam-packed with stuff…it’s just that those things are spread all over the place. So I want to make that one big mess of an album for 2018 so it can reflect the chaos of our actual life. 🙂
Sierra B says
To journal daily with my son. We both got a multi-year memory journal for Christmas. I’m making it a priority to spend 5 minutes together every day to write in them.
Marie says
My goal is to finish all the unfinished projects. You know the ones that just need a title page or some journaling or a couple more pictures or etc.
Connie says
Major life changes for me this past year, which also resulted in being very behind. I want to take things one step at a time, but also try to get everything including scrapbooking back under control. Happy New Year Cathy! Thanks for your tireless posts and inspiration!
Kim C. says
My memory keeping goal for 2018 is to make more time to scrapbook. I feel happy and relaxed when I’m putting together pages from our family’s life moments, and this is one way for me to tell these people how much they mean to me, and that is important.
My memory making goal is to be present, pay attention, and give myself completely to the moments of everyday. Great pictures are good, but being fully immersed in a shared moment with someone I love is even better. This life is flying along a little too quickly for my taste, and I don’t want large chunks of precious time to go by unrecognized because I am too busy, preoccupied, or stressed to really be there.
Kathy Meredith says
My goal is to finish organizing digital pictures and scan old family photos. Also want to document the year. When you get older and retired, it doesn’t seem like much happens, but I do want to document the stories that come up and write down childhood stories.
Lynn says
My goal is to finish my 2015 Family Yearbook and complete 2016 and 2017. For Christmas I got a new laptop that is much more powerful and I’ve installed the new Photoshop Elements so I have no excuses but to get it done! I love your style, classes, and motivation and am excited to get back to work!
Charlene Biemer says
My 2018 crafting goal is to create an A to Z memory book for my daughter who is graduating from college in May. Thanks for the giveaway!

Heather Hockman says
My goal is to actually finish a year somehow. Whether it’s weekly or monthly. Whatever program I can figure out. Just something to finish a complete year.
Alison Molumby says
I’m hoping to finally print last year’s book in the new year! Thank you for this method, it’s the best!!
Bonnie says
I subscribe to Ali Edwards’ story kits and I haven’t even looked at the last 2 kits. My goal for 2018 is to use the kits that I have and keep current with these kits as they come out.
Joyce D says
Oh … I think one of my 2018 goals will be to continue & finish the abbreviated A-Z project I started last year of our vacations …. it is time!
Chrystal says
My goal is to keep up with my new baby girl’s album. She was born 11/29/17.

My goal is to work with my daughter in law to document the first 3 years of my twin grandbabies life. There just wasn’t time when they were babies but I think this is the year to do it!

I’ve been doing Project Life for several years now and love it. My goal for 2018 is to keep current with my album. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Adoramapix is amazing!
Anne says
My goal is to make actual lay-outs other than PL. I havent been a scrapbooker for that long, and I got started with PL. My DD has gotten much craftier over three years So I think I am rest now..
Sarah says
I started running a couple years ago and just a few months ago started a “running journal/album” full of maps of where I run, how I feel, pictures of trails, etc. I have this tendency to start projects like this and not complete them, but I am really going to try hard to actually finish this one. It helps inspire me to keep running and then running inspires me to keep filling it out. It’s so much fun.
Susanna says
My goal for 2018 is to finally get the stories of my Father documented and assembled into a family album.
Rita H says
My 3028 goal is to continue doing my granddaughter’s PL even though she’s moved 3 hrs away and I have limited access to photos to use.

I’m trying to keep my goals simple and (hopefully!) achievable this year. In terms of memory keeping, it is to make something that I’m REALLY proud of :).
Roseann Hoyle says
My goal for 2018 is to take more pictures. It’s hard to scrapbook without them.
Judi church says
My goal is to complete every project that is waiting for that finishing touch…..like painting a room and not quite getting to the baseboards.
Maggie says
My goal for 2018 is to finish my 2017 album (which I decided to do traditional PL style) and then go back to your Scrapbook Your Year style for 2018 because it’s the bomb diggity. I don’t know what I was thinking trying to switch back!
Hope says
I want to get my boys baby books done. My 1st is 14 and my 2nd son is 3

Penny says
My goal is to do more scrapbook pages in 2018 including the current year and then catch up with previous years! Having a chance to win this will motivate me to complete the book sooner. Wishful thinking, right!

My goal is to complete my 2017 monthly book – actually I have to commit to starting it! But I will be doing it digitally and all the pictures are already organized on my computer.

My memory keeping goal is to organize my craft space and to “keep up” with Project Life!
Jennifer Henson says
Just to get back to it again. I love documenting life, writing down our stories, but started a new job last year at this time. Have been swamped since. Two weeks ago I took the first step of organizing the supplies I want to use-I have so many I love!-and getting albums to get started again.
Joan says
My goal for 2018 is to stay somewhat current on our daily life album. I also need to finish my son’s bowling album before he graduates in June.
Cindy Corwin says
Mine is a 2-parter:
1. Since I’ve (almost) completed my 365 project for 2017, including actually choosing my photos of the day and keeping track of them, I plan to make a photo book out of them.
2. In 2018 I will continue to choose my photos of the day in a somewhat timely fashion and keep track of them.
Holly says
My goal is to make memory-keeping work a regular part of my weekend routine. If I just spent one hour every weekend making pages, I know I would have something super cool at the end of the year!
Cindy E. says
My scrapbook goal for 2018 is to get back into the recording game. I have a collection of pictures that tell a story to “me” but no one else. Want to get those recorded.
Karen S says
My 2018 crafting goal is to take more pictures of our daily lives, especially of my daughter who started high school this year. I’ve been bad about it so far, but capturing those moments before they are gone has become very important to me.

Paula Corsaro says
My goal for 2018 is to sound less like a news reporter and more like a storyteller in my pages.
Jacquie Desilets says
My goals for 2018 are to learn to take better photos and get those memories into my albums. I also stalled a bit on SYY because I did not have photos of my family for the opening page, so that will be my first priority, and the remaining 4 months will be a breeze!
Becki says
my goal is to stay motivated this year, it gets hard during some seasons, but I am hoping for consistency this year.
Jenny says
One goal is to get my scrapbooking stuff more organized, so I know what i have and use it. This books looks awesome, I would love to win. Thank you. Jenny
Margot Perry says
My goal every year is to get caught up! But this year, I am going to go back to monthly (and sometimes weekly) project life. In 2015 I actually stayed up-to-date and love having a complete album for once! I find I am so much more relaxed and free of stress when I complete my pages close to the actual date. Plus, the stories are all fresh in my mind and have more to journal.
Amy says
To finish 2017. I have been going to school as well as working so I have fallen behind. I’d really enjoy seeing my photos in an accessible album!

I absolutely LOVE Adoramax for my yearly albums. How nice it would be to get one for free! The quality is the best.

donna says
my goal for 2018 is to finish all four of my photo a day project life albums. three have photos and cards and are half done the journaling component. sadly 2017 merely has a title page and the page protectors in place! I do have all year’s worth of photos in files by date right up until yesterday ready to print 🙂
Nancy says

Just keep living, just keep living… and then, keep those memories for generations to come. This is my goal.

debbie says
looking forward to documenting the present and worrying less about being behind ! #newview
Maria H says
I’ve really slacked off in preserving my family’s memories for the past few years. In 2018 I want to spend more time on scrapbooking and less time watching TV or net surfing. Along the same lines, I want to complete a crocheted afghan WIP and also a small cross-stitch WIP as well. Oh and I’d also like to exercise more, lose some weight. And since I’m dreaming big, I’d like to achieve world peace too! 🙂
Janita Donaldson says
My mom just passed away on Dec 6th. I would love to make a recipe book with all her handwritten ones.
Jen Stewart says
I just recently bought your “Scrapbook your Year” class and have done the first couple of lessons (Christmas kinda slowed that down). Next year my goal is to use your system to keep me prolific with scrapbooking. I love following you to the “T” so I’d love to win this book since you speak so highly of the company! Thanks!
Becky Rico says
My goal for 2018 is to keep up-to-date on my Scrapbook Your Year. I got discouraged this year when I had very few photos to use but I have figured out how to get more photos so I should not run into that issue next year.
Christine says
My goal this year is simply to scrap SOMETHING. Like many others, I was very prolific, but then kids and life came along (and digital photos I can see at a whim) and I stopped creating scrapbooks. This is something I would LOVE to do again, I actually really enjoy the process and treasure the end result, but have felt so overwhelmed by the volume of things I haven’t scrapped. I have still been able to scrap the big events into photobooks I have printed, so this book would be awesome!
Jill S. says
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win this! One of my 2018 goals is to stay up-to-date on my monthly Scrapbook Your Year pages.
Christine says
I’ve spent two years doing my book for 2015! My goal in 2018 is to make documenting a weekly or monthly habit instead of something I occasionally try to fit in.
Kay says
In 2011, I started ‘LIFE’ albums using WRMK Albums Made Easy. I have kept up to date from 2011 to now. My 2018 goal is to get thru photos and journaling from 1971-2010. Currently working on the year 1996!
Katie Phelps says
My goal is to be more consistent with my memory keeping a do a little bit at a time so I don’t become overwhelmed and quit.
Christine says
Get the 2016 London/Paris trip documented.
Michelle Darde says
I’m spending today and tomorrow painting my basement so I can set it up as a craft studio. I’ve never made cards but that’s my plan for 2018 and I got some great stamps and dies for Christmas.
Poly Kirschenheuter says
My goal is to organize my Twins photos – their first 2 years, and document the best moments in an album so we can have this memory. At the same time, start working on their 3rd year photos and album as it happens – no more leaving things for later…
Heidi says
Hi Cathy!
My crafting goal… Well, the first goal would be to actually have time to craft, because I’m writing (or trying to write) a master’s degree in Spanish, and it’s consuming my time. Big time. heh.
But if I do manage to craft, my two goals would be
– Do sewing projects with my two girls (we just bought a sewing machine)
– Make a 2018 album and calendars for my family (it’s been a while since my last album, I’ve just done the odd page, trying to do month pages, but not succeeding)
Keep up the awesome work! xxx
Karen B Walker says
My goal, once again, is to get caught up with my monthly Project Life. I also want to make a photo book of an international trip (4 years ago!) before we go on another one in February.
Susan says
My goal is to get my systems in place so I can get back to enjoying memory keeping.
Cheryl says
My goal is simply to set aside more time for scrapping.

Jodie says
My 2018 goals are to finish oldest son’s wedding album and high school graduation albums for all 3 sons. Photo restoration project for my Parents. This may seem like a short list, but it’s realistic. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Anna K says
Create a heritage book, including my ancestral tree, going back to the 1600’s.
Ginger says
My goal for the year is to declutter/donate/sell much of my scrapping supplies and organize my craft room. I need a simplified space so that I can actually get my memory keeping caught up (mostly digital now). And I’d like to make more cards and do more creative art projects, which can only happen in a decluttered space lol! Declutter the space, declutter my mind!
Renee Gallup says
My goal for 2018 is to get back into it! I would love to make a book for my daughter’s graduation. She’s involved in Ultimate, Soccer, Band, etc., and it’s a little overwhelming to think about printing all those pictures. I like the idea of handing her a thin book vs an enormous album. I’d love to give this a go! Thanks for the opportunity, Cathy!
Corry says
My goal for 2018 is to create a collage of monthly highlight pictures. 8-10 pictures in total to represent the month….maybe, in a http://www.adoramapix.com album…. wink, wink!
Cara says
My goal for 2018 is to deal with my overseas holiday photos covering the last few years, and I have realised that photo books are probably the only way it’s going to happen.
Debbie says
I’d love to make an album of my son’s December wedding. The adoramapix album would be perfect?
Fran Cozens says
My goal for 2018 is to finish not only 2017 family yearbook but 2018 as well. Having an AdoramaPix 12×12 hardcover book waiting for me to use, will be all that i need to get me to my end goal. Thank you
DorothyCC says
My goal for 2018 is to clean out my scrapbook space and supplies so it’s easy to sit down and scrapbook any time.

Margaret says
My goal for 2018 is to get my craft room organized and to get at least my 2017 pictures in a photobook.
Linda R says
One goal for 2018 is to make a photo book of our Philadelphia vacation this past summer. Adoramapix quality is the best by far.
Andrea W. says
My goal for 2018 is to scan all of the photos of my kids from the 1990’s (pre-digital camera) and then put the highlights into a photo book for each of them.
Mary M says
I hope to get my 2016 year in revue completed this year. I am behind. This would be a wonder giveaway for me to win.
Stephanie W says
Hi Cathy, my goal for 2018 is to continue with SYY and finish what I start… nothing beats having a year-long completed album… I have you to thank for that! These albums are so beautiful, but very expensive for me. I have printed 2015 and 2016 but being on the other side of the world and with exchange rate etc, I would love to have my 2017 album printed for me!
Denise says
My goal for 2018 is to complete weekly layouts and not get behind (or at least remember to document life daily in my bullet journal, so catching up isn’t such a monumental task). Also, I’d like to finish scanning my deceased grandmother’s photos and notes into digital format to share with my family.
Betcei says
One goal I have for 2018 is to complete a scrapbook for at least one show that our youngest son has been involved with during the last 14 years. I want this to be a gift for graduation.

Antoinette Naude says
I went on a 3 week trip to Europe in Sept/Oct this year and visited 7 countries! Indeed a trip of a lifetime. This prize would be the perfect way to document my travels❣️❣️
Rachel says
I have a goal of starting and finishing our Disney trip album from 3 years ago ? Long overdue!!
Kelly says
My goal is to get my sons school books caught up. He will be a SENIOR and I am only on 2nd Grade! I do have middle school pretty much done because I used Project Life App and there wasn’t as much stuff to scrap for those years. Elementary years are just massive. But I know I can do it. For my 40th Bday I completed 8 scrapbooks, over 4000 photos of my complete life up to that day in 6 months! Just have to put my mind to it and do it for his books! Among all the other crafts I enjoy besides documenting! Oh and my cousin and I are going to start up a craft business on the side also. 2018 will be a big year for me!
Breon Randon says
what a great chance! My goal is actually tp print off the two digital albums I have waiting and to also purchase some more of the grey BH canvas albums and eventually switch all my paper albums (2005 and prior) to one unified look. I don’t even open my books much because the choas there freaks me out and thats 25 years of scrapbooked life I’m missing.
Tonya NC says
My memory keeping goal is to tell more stories. This book would be great for that. Thanks, Cathy!
Nancy says
My creative goal for 2018 is to edit and post the photos I took at special events in 2017 (family reunion, special weekend at the lake, etc.). Along with this goes the task of compiling photos of my daughter (childhood to the present) for her wedding in late September.
Libby Wiers says
My memory keeping goal for 2018 is to scrap something, somehow every week, no exceptions, no matter where I am. More would be better, but this for a minimum.
Blayne White says
Happy New Year Cathy! 🙂 Like many others, I want to simplify my process, but first I am determined to get my photos in order and in ONE place (backed up in others, as well, of course). I sold my company last year and finally have some time on my hands. I want to use it to reconnect to my memories and tell some stories….before I’m too old to remember!! Haha! Thanks for the chance!

No real ‘goal’ that is measurable, but I am intentional about finding time and scheduling purposeful time to be creative and intend to continue doing so. Yay me!

Tara Galger says
My goal this year is to finish three projects and complete 100 layouts. I have never set this kind of goal for myself before but I want to have more stories told and I think the only way I will do it is to have a goal! Doesn’t matter what format they are as long as there is a story on it!
Joanne says
My goal is to finally finish a whole year album. This would give me a goal to finish!

Your projects have already been a wonderful gift to me…and I appreciate all your hard work and your ability to share with others. Thank you so very much!
Kelsy Brewer says
My goal for 2018 is to finally finish one of my study abroad albums and to print my 2017 pages in an album instead of individual pages.
Nicole Hankosky says
My biggest issue is affording to make the photo books in full size…..still looking at more affordable options without doing a 4×4! But, I can look at my computer and they’re there!
Jeannie Smith says
My 2018 goal is to get my digital photos organized so I can do some scrapbooking with them. I have 2014, 2015, and 2016 albums completed, but prior years need much organization!

Amelia says
My goal for 2018 is to scrap for 1 hour a day on items I need to catch up on before I start anything new. I have so many unfinished pages, books, projects and it gets me down so my plan is to finish them first.
nerdgrl (Kim S.) says
My goal for 2018 is to get projects done! I don’t scrap at home, so getting things done has become so much harder when Archiver’s closed. And, we keep taking trips and photos so I get behind so easily.
Lori says
For the last two years I have done my Year in Review digitally- using your templates to create Year in Review and Adoramapix to print the book. My goal this year is to have 2017 completed and ordered (once again by Adoramapix) by the last day of January 2018. Thanks for the chance to win this great prize.
Janice says
My goal for 2018 is to finish organizing years of photos and getting them in albums.

Renee' says
My goal for 2018 is to get all my son’s photo’s & memorabilia scanned and into albums! I know it will be multiple since I’ve been way behind and now this year he has retired from the Navy! I’ve got some boxes to sort & organize!!
Kim says
To scrapbook my daughter’s 12 years of Girl Scouts.
Kate Brown says
My goal is to start the Project Life style of scrapbooking. I have the tools, just need to start! And this would make a great birthday present on the 30th!
Laurie says
My goal is to stick with the plan and complete 2018. I’d like to think I could “catch up” from previous years (I completed 2016 and will be done with 2017), but know this is not realistic. I work full time, have a son who is a competitive gymnast which requires much chauffeuring, and I am in a very challenging graduate program. I love the rhythm of this method and have been able to stick with it for two years despite my schedule. I’m so greatful and happy to have found this blog.
Kathy Aylward says
My last year book printed (and only year book printed) is 2014. In 2018 I want to focus on working on getting my pages done monthly and also as a single Mum get in the picture more with my 2 kids this year. I would love a hardcover lay flat Adoramapix album of memories of the kids and I. Kathy A, Brisbane, Australia

Maribel says
My goal in 2018 is to continue my Project life albums! It’s my favorite way to document my memories! Thank you for the chance!
Nicole says
My goal is to make a habit of printing my favorite photos each month and getting them into an album. I figure if the photos are printed already, I’ll have one less barrier to crafting with them. But with the gorgeousness of the AdoramaPix album, I may just go back to yearly albums like what I did for my first child (now an official teenager!!!) And with your “Scrapbook Your Year” course, it should be even easier than the first one. Looking forward to being inspired by you again in 2018. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Kimberly Loxtercamp says
My goal is to complete monthly Project Life spreads. Bonus would be to also complete 2014 – 2017!!

Laura says
For 2018, I just want to get back to documenting my family’s stories and special moments. Would I like to have it all look pretty and well designed? Sure … but I would rather have the stories documented than perfect and not documented. Thanks for the opportunity to win an AdoramaPix book – their quality is top notch!
Lynda Deus says
My memory keeping goal for 2018 is to get many of my photos printed, and memories recorded. I am going to dedicate one day a week to this goal. A photo book sounds like a great place to start!
Margaret Brownm says
My goal is to complete my son’s senior year book and to get into a regular weekly routine of documenting and putting pics in books. Thanks for the opportunity and ideas!

My goals this year is to document my everyday, get fit and find some time for myself!
Julie Weber says
My goal is to learn how to use the new iMac my husband bought me for Christmas. I used to traditional scrapbook most evenings in the same room with him as he played a computer game. He’s missed me, and I’ve wanted to start hybrid scrapbooking, so here’s my chance. Our youngest heads off to college Fall 2018, so I want to get back into a regular scrapbook routine. Fit 2018 is coming at a perfect time for me, I’m so excited to learn new technological aspects of scrapbooking. I also lost 65 lbs. in 2017, so let’s keep that going and documenting my journey as I forge to the finish line. Can’t wait to stay motivated in Fit 2018.

Terri says
I would like to “digitize” all my old printed photos by scanning them and cropping, sorting etc and finally to put them into a photobook so that I can look at them, and not have (literally) 9 full boxes of photos sitting in boxes in my cupboard since I got my first digital camera in 2002.
But thanks for this opportunity – it was so nice to read the other answers and find out that I am not the only one who needs extra hours in the day!
I hope you all manage to do (at least) part of what you hope to in 2018!
Nancy Fleming says
I want to create a permanent crafting area. I want to make something craft at least once a week and write in my journal every day even if it is only one sentence. Unrelated to crafting, but I want to try one new restaurant per month!
Melissa Mortimer says
I plan on starting on my PL albums, finally. ?
Minimize and simplify EVERYTHING!
Kristy says
I would like to finally scrap several past trips I’ve taken and to tackle organizing all the photos on my computer.
dolores says
I would like to actually follow thru and get my craft room organized.
Nancy R says
My goal for 2018 is to get caught up with my 2017 memory keeping and I’ve taken a week off work at the end of January to do just that! I’ve never done anything like that before and I’m gonna love it! And instead of ordering tons of photos to be printed as I’ve done in the past, I’m going to print my own at home on a one by one, as needed, basis. I believe that will simplify my scrapbooking and streamline the process.
Pam says
This past year I started off well and stayed caught up – until – I received my previous year album. No one in the family seemed particularly interested and I got kind of down about that. ☹️. This year I have decided — it’s for me! Not them! I love seeing “my memories” and who cares whether “they” are interested right now or not— this is a me thing and it’s fills up my heart! Here’s to finishing 2017 and onward to 2018!!
Jessica says
My memory keeping goals for 2018 are to completely organise my photo collection (32 years worth of photos!), complete my 2016 and 2017 December Daily albums and make a baby book for my son who’s currently 3 months old. If I have more time, I’d also like to make my pregnancy album as well. I’m crazy ambitious this year since I’m on maternity leave for most of it!
Pam C says

Michelle Park says
My goal for this year is to kick butt and make every day count! By using your journalling course, I hope to keep my eye on the ball and publish my memories at the end of it. Love your work CZ.
Pam C says
What a pain I am! Please delete one of those comments! Sorry – I posted it twice!
Ashley Moseley says
My memory-keeping goal for 2018 is to make a book about our life in Germany. We lived on an Army post for two years and now we live in a German house and the transition has been incredible and interesting!
AnneLBmom says
Cathy! I cannot wait to order with them! Thank for the chance to win! My goal for next year is to figure out a way to bring a new joy into scrapbooking. After seven years of PL, I need a fresh take! All best and thanks again, Anne
Jaime says
My goal for 2018 is to be more personal and intentional. Photo themed gifts are so wonderful when well planned. I have a lot of ideas for capturing memories to share with my loved ones this year. My daughter loves going though the process with me so I’m teaching her along the way!
Lydia S says
To use my blog to document our lives, and to use the best of the best photos and stories to create a book for the year. I used to be so good about physical scrapbooks. I want my photography for this year to also be more purposeful and mindful.
RitaQ says
2018 Goal? Nothing fancy… just trying to simplify so I can get it done…. using your templates for Scrap Your Year. Finish & print 2017. And 2016!
Thanks for the opportunity.
Cathy…. any chance you are moving forward with some sort of story telling class?
Polly Walters says
My 2018 is to clear off my craft table, get my photos organized, and start working on my sons senior year album.
Shawna says
I want to complete Project Life from start to finish this year. I hope to do a “Week in the life” this summer. My main goal is to order a December Daily and complete it for the month. Disappointed to have not done that this year.
Lina F says
This year I want to be sure to finish each month on a timely basis for my digital Project Life. Setting aside one day a week to do this will be my goal.
Susan A says
I’d like to win this book so I can finish my 2017 cat and dog Project Life book. All the months are waiting to be printed…just waiting on a deal from Adoramapix. Their books are the best.
Melinda Tzeng says
My goal is to do a weekly family album and to compete at least two travel albums.
Kathy Geare says
Hope it’s not too late for a comment, on the road yesterday with sketchy cell service.
My goal this year is to TAKE the photos about this wacky thing called life. I am the queen of procrastination & good intentions. Maybe actually following your class (previously purchased) & the opportunity of having the gorgeous album I can get off my rear & make it happen.
Happy New Year!
Valerie Sielert says
My goal is to use the crafting supplies that I seem to be “hoarding” (according to Mr. Killjoy, my better half of 33 years) and become more organized. Currently, all of my card stock is labelled and in boxes, much of my supplies are in my daughter’s dresser with the drawers labelled. (she moved out) I’m so happy that I signed up for your Fit 2018.
Mary says
In 2018 my goal is to make the Add of the Crap more of a priority. I almost have it down…Cull – got it…Review – got it…Add – I’ll get to it later, there is laundry to do, dishes to do, that silly job to go to, grandkids to babysit, bills to pay, I should go to the gym, yardwork…
My key word for 2018 is SIMPLIFY. How can I simply this already hectic life and spend more time on the Add part of the Crap? By spending 15 minutes a morning working on the Add instead of reading Facebook posts. So not only do I have a goal, I have a method to hopefully achieve that goal.
Maryann S says
My goal is to minimize papers and photos. I was looking through old photographs while working on my family history and would like to scan the photos and eliminate the individual pictures.
tape says
I want to get a Silhouette Cameo and use it!
Carol says
My goal for 2018- – be more focused on layouts of my grandchildren, definitely…!!
Pam K says
My craft goal for this year, actually the first month or two of 2018, is to declutter and tidy my craft area. It’s a great area but has too much stuff in it I no longer use, and it’s so messy that I didn’t do much crafting this year. After I clean it out, I’m rediscovering PL and having fun with some multi media! I can’t wait!
Happy New Year, and thanks, Cathy!
dondi says
Thank you for the chance to win this incredible book.
My goal is simply to make progress…
To just move forward and not stay in what feels like the same place with my scrapbooking/crafting.
amelia says
Finish the 3 Christmas albums that I intended to do the past 3+ years!
Cathleen says
My goal for 2018 is to set aside weekly time for creativity and scrapbooking. And to re-take Design Your Life which I originally took years ago. Happy New Year!
Dianne says
I would love to do something like what you do and be able to have a recap of an entire year following the end of that year. I think 4 pages per months is fabulous and if I could end 2018 with a completed slice of our life, that would be stellar! Off to check out your class, btw. 😉
Denise says
My daughter was born in 2017. My goal is to make her a book of her first year! I need to find the time to scrapbook more!
carol ann says
I was the lucky recipient of a major stash of Stampin Up products. My goal for 2018 is to find a way to remove the rubber from the wood blocks and convert them for use with my new Tonic stamping platform and start busting out a ton of cards. I’ve also taken 2 photography classes online and intend to work my photo-a-day project, again! Happy New Year, Cathy!
Ginger says
My goal for 2018 is to complete a heritage album of my father’s side of the family and make copies for the kids and grandkids. Then 2019 will be a heritage album of my mother’s side of the family. What wonderful keepsakes these will be.
3MsMom says
I do most of my scrapbooking at two weekend retreats a year. This year, I’m hoping to join a monthly challenge group (either Mercy Tiara’s 27 day challenge or Stuck Sketches?!) to get me in my scrapbook room and get even more pages done!
Lisa says
My 2018 crafting goals…
1) keep current with monthly scrapbooking, hahahahaha
2) finish organizing my craft stuff, double hahahahaha
3) either Bible journal or art journal
Thanks for a chance to win. Happy New Year. Enjoy 2018!
Jordan says
I have lots of goals for 2018, but i am really wanting to journal as I go this year as I photograph my family. This sweepstakes is perfect because I’m planning to switch to Adoramapix from my current company that I use. I want to get caught up on the last few years this year as well as make a few books from recent trips!!
Carolyn Rowse says
I am hoping to get through my parents’ photos this year!

Eliza says
Sorry if this is a duplicate entry… not sure what happened! I’d love to re-ignite my creative mojo and commit to spending more time being crafty. I’ve loved sharing your journey into cardmaking and you’ve done wonders with getting me more interested again! Thank you. I’ve taken some of your classes and am signed up for a few more. Really looking forward to spending time doing what I enjoy and hoping to be more productive in the new year. Thanks for sharing your passion … you always seem to make me smile.
Paige says
My memory keeping goals for 2108 are to finish my 2007 and 2017 albums using SYY templates and to create an album for my husband’s siblings that include all of the photos from their dad’s memorial service.
Donna says
My first crafting goal will be to get a crafting space/area set up that I can work in. During major house renovations for the past 4 years any kind of crafting space disappeared. Now that it is almost over I can’t wait to get set up! Then as soon as that is done, my 2nd goal will be to try to do something creative at least once a week.
Lyn says
In 2018 I want to work on scrapbooks instead of watching others and just thinking about it. ?
Lynn M says
I actually have two goals for 2018. First, to simplify and keep current each week in Project Life. Second, to get non-digital photos from the “early” years scanned. Lofty goals, but I’m determined!
Barb R says
My 2018 crafting goal is to focus on what I enjoy the most. No worries about being caught up with scrapbooking. Just have fun and relax. Get together with friends and share our love of crafting.
penny says
My goal is to to tell the stories that are in my head….. and to declutter so I can actually enjoy scrapbooking!
Jodi says
Pass on my love for scrapbooking and ways to do it easily to others is my goal for 2018.

My goal this coming year is to create a photobook for my granddaughter to highlight the special moments of the first 20 years of her life.
Terri Torrez says
My goal is to decrease the stuff in my scraproom and use more supplies. No new stuff except basics.
Carolyn S says
I have so many photos on my phone – but now what? I’d love to print out and save these in a scrapbook of some sort to document the important moments of my year. Went through my mother in law’s things recently and realized how important actual photos are. Who is going to look through my phone when I’m gone??
justasiam says
Oh I hope I am not too late to be entered in the contest! My goal is to start and finish my son and daughter in laws wedding album from 2014. I have the photos, paper, and album but now I just have to start!!
JOhanne says
After heading back to work last year, my scrapping life is fading into oblivion. A scrapbook like this is something I can do in quick starts and actually achieve something. So motivating.
Marian says
Life is Life. Just get it done. Happy New Year, Cathy Z!
