Hi everyone....thanks for the invite to the Scrapbooking club. I am a semi-pro photographer who loves to scrapbook. It is very challenging to find the time to do it!

Hi! My initial answer would be to schedule it like an appointment...a very important time with and for yourself . Mom needs "me" time. This is a time to regain your sanity and inner peace doing something you love. Initially it might be a good idea to leave your house and scrap with someone if it's possible, so that "your time" is respected. I suggest that it be a 2-3 block. of actual scrap time. Negotiate with your husband in order to get him to keep the kids for this time. Maybe plan a stress free easy pizza or hotdog "time with dad/movie nite/video game/guys nite out" or "time with grandma", etc. that makes it a special time for the kids as well, if its possible. The hard part is getting started. After they see what you accomplish, and that mom comes home happy, they will encourage you to go. The other issue is whether you are interested in doing traditional scrapbooking or if you have looked into digital scrapbooking. I have timesaving suggestions for both. Hope this helps!
