I work semi full time, run my own business and have four kids and a very busy husband. I admit that I scrapbook almost everyday! Yes, a little everyday! Sometimes it's only a couple minutes and sometimes it's for a half hour after the kids are asleep, but I try and do a little everyday. No, I am not crazy. It just feels good to do something for myself and then I don't lose my creative mojo! (though it does happen sometimes). Sometimes my scrap time consists of blog hopping, looking for inspiration!
I love this hobby!

I get to scrapbook maybe once per month, which is not often enough. Life with a 10 month old, a house, and a regular job is always prohibiting the scrapbooking. I don't mind though - spending time with family is so important. And I blog, so it makes up for it.

I try to do some sort of craft as often as I can but it seems these days to be dwindling down. I create ideas in my head and look for inspiration daily though :-)

I would say maybe 5 hours a week, but that works for me.

I try to scrap at least twice a week for an hour or two. About once a month I do a weekend afternoon blow out where I scrap for several hours. I just started a sweater class (knitting) so I'm thinking all my free time will be spent trying to keep up to finish the project over the next five weeks!!

I scrapbook a couple times a month, mostly at home though I get in on a crop once in a while.

I take care of my grandson during the day, so I try to take half an hour or so before he comes home from preschool to get a dose of caffeine and creativity. Sometimes I can also squeeze in an afternoon here and there since he loves to hang out in my 'playroom' and paint, draw, or play Sizzix.

cute stuff!
actual scrapping, once a week for a few solid hours.
but i spend lots of time thinking about it, shopping, planning pages or mini albums, reading blogs, gathering ideas, looking longingly at my supplies, etc.

I scrapbook in my head all day long LOL!
Otherwise, I steal a few minutes here and there every night after the whole house is quiet.
I try to make time every weekend but it's harder in the spring and summer when we like to be outdoors!
Thanks!

I would say I am processing ideas (mostly in my head or in my notebook) each day. Most weeks, I get 2-33hours to actually produce pages! My ideas will all be there when more time is available.

I am still able to do some paper crafting in 30 minute sessions throughout my week/month. I miss doing weekend scrapbooking, but take what I can get.

Once or twice a week, I'll be working on a layout. But in pockets of time, I'll sketch ideas, select photos, etc.

With 2 toddlers, I haven't scrapped in quite a long time--maybe 6 months. With another on the way, I really need to get busy.

Hi there!
I try and scrapbook a few times a week. I may not complete a project in that time, but I get parts of it done.

I think about scrapbooking every day. When I get a break for lunch, I thumb through an idea book, flag the pages, and scribble ideas in the notebook I keep in my purse. But actually getting time to sit down and work on a page ... ZERO time. I haven't scrapped since last summer.
Last weekend I told my husband what I wanted for Mother's Day - 8 hours of uninterrupted time in the scrap studio. His reply, "OK, how about from 11 PM to 7 AM?"

Unfortunately I am usually only able to dedicate time to scrapbook once or twice a month. I'd love to be able to do it more, and I definitely THINK about doing it more, but with 4 kids and all that entails there's usually just not enough time in the day.

I scrapbook everyday! If not making actual pages... then looking for inspiration, taking photos, organizing supplies...just dreaming about what I want to make.

I am trying to catch up with my son's photos. Tanner just turned 7 and in his scrapbook I am almost at age two. I also enjoy making homemade cards. I am trying to do these two things for about 2-4 hoiurs a week.
Thanks..

If I could, I can scrapbook 24/7 since I'm so behind! In reality, I can do it at night when everyone is sleeping and as long as I'm not sleeping too!

I scrapbook each day, usually an hour or two, when I have my daily chores done, and the children are at school,but on weekends, I craft in the evening, or late at night, if I can't sleep;A cup of tea, some Bruce Sprinsteen, and here I go! lol !

Not enough time :) With working full time and having two kids involved in sports it is tough to find time. Right now I'm lucky if I fit it in a few times a month. I need to make more time for it...

Well, I'm in college, so I scrapbook whenever I can find time to! Usually on the weekends if I have no major papers or projects. But my classes will be done for the summer on Thursday, and I plan on scrapping up a storm this summer!

I scrap when I'm inspired, in the mood and when I dont have anything else to do around the house (which isnt very often!). I'm am anxious to catch up on some scrapbooking because in 7 months I will be busy (our first baby on the way!)! :)
