I actually scrapbook about once a week or once every two weeks. I have a store here where I live that allows people to use their store and scrapbook for free and you can sit and chat with your girlfriends and just have a girls night away from husband and kids. i love having my me time and not having to get interrupted when I'm really getting into a page.

Hi! I'm a 44 year old single mom of one 11 year old girl. I Don't work outside of the home because I am on disability. So, I scrapbook alot. My daughter and I have been scrapbooking for about 5 years now and we LOVE it. We started making greeting cards about 2 years ago and now we get paid to make them. It's so much fun and it's really brought us much closer.

I don't scrapbook nearly as much as i'd like to anymore. I used to have alot of time to do it when i worked part time. Now that i work full time, plus some overtime, i can't find the time to scrapbook.

I just do it as often as I can, usually on a Friday or Saturday night when kids are buisy and I have nothing to do.I would do it everyday if I had more room for my stuff!..lol

i tend to stay up after my daughter is asleep to scrapbook....i think about what i am going to do during the day so that at night i can have it mostly planned out....if i dont do an actual page, i set stuff aside for a page that i will do later in the week (the next chance i have to scrapbook)

I have been scrapbooking for about 7 years, and I find that I have to schedule it in. Although it's not as often as I'd like, it's about once every month or so. I have 3 children and haven't done the yearly albums. I tend to crop whatever I have pictures on that strike me at the moment. Still catching up. I also find more time and space when I go to a crop at a store (plus no one is distracting me).

When I get back into things I would like to scrapbook once a day. But if that doesn't work at least twice a week.

Becky - posted on 09/10/2009

I scrap as soon as I have a ton of pictures to do. Its hard, cuz we have our 2-yr old granddaughter living with us (& her mom) so I have everything spread out on the dining room table. I covered it up with a table cloth, when she's around. That way, I don't have to put everything away for now. She's smart tho, and has figured out that grandma has "stuff" under there - lol.

A few friends and I get together to scrap once a month, and once or twice a year we try to do a weekend. We usually go to Archiver's ScrapMania on a Friday or Saturday - six hours of scrapping time. For the weekend sometimes we do a B&B or we'll go to my sister's house for free.



You're doing great getting year one done! My two are 7 and 5 and I tend to do more recent books first and then go backwards, so their baby books are not done yet. But I am addicted and lovin' every minute of it! Enjoy and have fun!

I love scapbooking, I just don't have enough time with just life itself. I need to start up again.

Sonya - posted on 09/09/2009

I have just started to scrapbook myself. I find it easier to get all the 'stuff' for a page or 2 together in one sitting and actually create the pages the next time I scrapbook. My mom and my oldest daughter both scrapbook and were amazed to hear that I decided to start. My family is spread all over the country so this is a way to keep the women in contact with each other. We have been bouncing ideas off each other for the past month or so. It has actually worked pretty well because it gives all of us new ideas.

My middle son plays competitive baseball, so I only have time to scrap from August to April. I try to go to crops 4-6 times a month, but I get more done at home by myself!! Now that my son is in high school, baseball season won't be as intense - more scrapping time for me!!

I recently started a cropping group at my church and we meet twice a month. It has really help me get more scrapbooking done. It's been a lot of fun and I'm glad I did it!!!

I am going to check out your site. Thank you for sharing the info.

I scrapbook as much as possible. I am kind of anal about it. I have a whole routine down. I learned from my past mistake of waiting to long and then forgetting what all happened and such. My routine is send pictures to Walmart on line getting doubles of the ones I want to use in my pages. Then I pick them up and get the supplies for the pages and make the page as soon as possible. I love to scrapbook and I am getting better at it. Still not a pro. I make pages for every oportunity possible. In fact I am giving my daugter-in-law one for her to make for a baby shower gift. Found lots of neat baby stuff for pages on ebay (my favorite place to find scrapbook supplies, even have found people that will custom make items for you). Happy scrapping.

I don't scrapbook as much as I'd like to. I started last year thanks to my best friend, Liz, and did 1 album and started another. Now my days are kinda short between teaching and church but soon I will start again. My 13 yr. old son likes it too, better than having him on the streets doing God knows what, I get him supplies whenever I can or my friend Liz comes to the rescue. LOL, thanks Liz. Love ya.

Hi my name is Robyn. I live in Brisbane, Australia. I go to a workshop every month and I also go to a friend's crop group each month if I can. I scrap at home with my younger daughter and a firend usually once a week. My children are grown and I have 8 granchildren so there is always a subject to scrap. I usually only average 2 - 4 pages each month. My group also has an annual retreat whereby we go away for the weekend together. There, I usually get many pages done. I have many albums "on the go" but haven't "finished" one. Works in progress. CM found me in 2003 and I've been hooked ever since.

If anyone would like to purchase scrapbook stuff delivered right to your door, no matter the state, check out my website

What takes the longest is the cropping and grouping of pictures for me. I do that first and the rest just flows smoothly.

I also don't print my pictures too often so I always have a huge stack. My last printing was over 500 pictures.

Me Too, my Daughter just turned 3 and I just finished her first year. I even have the youngest done now. It took me one week.



I have not scrapbooked in a while. I need to do some more pages before, I have too many pictures to scrap.

I typed end of summer when my brain was thinking end of winter... You can tell that it's my Monday!

Stephanie - posted on 09/08/2009

How I miss scrapbooking!!! We moved into a new "fixer upper" house Feb 2008 and my "craft" room had water issues and such where it is still full of boxes and "temporary" set-ups. We just got the water issues fixed and I am hoping to get the craft room remodeled by end of summer... then my goal will be ~2 pages a week if we are in "game" season or ~10 if we are just in "practice" season with the kids.

I try to scrapbook every day. I don't have a set time of day. Just when the mood strikes me. I try not to do it before bedtime because I get all wound up then & can't sleep.

Elaine - posted on 09/07/2009

that sound like me.

Francine - posted on 09/07/2009

My kids are grown and out of the house. I do work outside of the home. SO, the best time for me is nights and weekends. I Try to "work" on a page or during the week. Little things, here and there. I try to complete the page on the weekend.

Regina - posted on 09/07/2009

there was a time when I scrapped every day...Of course my daughter was an infant and would stay up all night..She never really cried she would be happy to sit in her swing or bouncy chair and listen to me talk to her...so I would sit at my desk and scrapbook all night till about 4am when she would let us go to sleep..I was lucky because my sons would be at school all day and we would sleep then...But now its a couple of years later she will be 4 soon and I work alot so I dont have alot of time to do the things I love..But when I do get together with my scrap group my daugher insists on going and believe it or not she sits and scrapbooks with us all day long..and has a blast...you would never know that she is only3

Julie - posted on 09/07/2009

I scrapbook continuously, otherwise you get behind.

Raechele - posted on 09/07/2009

I am right there with you. I do it once a week, a set time with a friend for about 6 hours wile older kids in school. Works great!

Jessica - posted on 09/06/2009

My Son, is 2 and my daughter is 7 months! I only get the time to scrapbook when they are napping togethor in the afternoon, or at night...Im halfway through his and 7 pages through hers!!!

Linny - posted on 09/06/2009

I don't get to scrap nearly as much as I"d like. I used to do an organized scrap evening with my friend once a month but that went by the wayside when we went under construction and took in our inlaws. I would love to at least go in my scrap room and do something scrap related at least once a week, that is my goal but I have an energetic 8 yr old, a drama queen that is learning to drive, a very demanding residential cleaning business and I"m active in our church. My hubby keeps me busy too. I need to make time. I am in the middle of my sons first time at camp. I am happy with it so far but I need to get busy before he graduates....lol

Dawn - posted on 09/06/2009

As much as I possible can! I am going to a retreat with my BFF's in a week for 4 glorious days of scrapbooking and fellowshiping. Can't wait.

Jamielee - posted on 09/06/2009

I agree it's a great hobby I was doing it twice a week but now it's once I been alittle busy so I usually do at night when my son is sleeping.

Michelle - posted on 09/06/2009

I scrapbook at least once a week! My goal is to finish 2 pages on the night that I get to work on it. I often work with a friend and we often tend to do more talking then scrapbooking!

Trissa - posted on 09/05/2009

I'm a totally addicted scrapper. I scrap probably once or twice a week. I don't go to crops or events. I usually get one or two pages done per week. I like to do online challenges and VSBN's (virtual scrapbooking nights) for inspiration.

I just started right after my eldest got married in June I am doing her wedding album. I also home school and most r independent so i can go back and forth between the pg I am working on and teach. since i have started I have done 50 1 sided pages or 25 total. i didnt know that it was so addicting!!! Poor Rachel (the Married 1) is going to have a very large album I might have to make 2 separate ones. I am also going to make a memory album for my mom-in-law soon. My kids think i am good at it i just think that it dosent matter what people think of the page it is the love that was put into it that counts

Darvionne - posted on 09/05/2009

I have organized scrapbooking 1-2 per month (I belong to 2 crop groups) and then informally on my own whenever I get the chance. It's my way to relax, so I try to make it happen. Even if I don't scrapbook per se, I still try and do something scrap-related: sketch a layout, organize photos, put together a page kit, etc.

Sharon - posted on 09/04/2009

My kids are all older and in school all day but every couple of days I get some more pics sorted & laid out, paper figured for each pic, stuff like that by the end of the week I've got 2 pages done.



that said. I'm new to scrapbooking and I have 2 pages done! LOL
