are you a night owl?  early bird?  you only scrap at crops?  mostly in the winter?  whenever you have a few minutes? only when your hubby/SO is off playing with his friends?  all day, every day?  we want to know  😁

for me, i work overnights and i keep the same schedule even on my days off, so i tend to scrap at night, in the wee hours.  i do sometimes scrap during the day, too!

what about you?

Whenever I can find an opening!  Sometimes it's very early morning (4:00 or 5:00 AM), sometimes it's very late (Midnight).  I'm all over the place!

I scrap whenever! Lol! I'm just as likely to be scrappin' in the middle of the day as I am in the middle of the night. I do something artsy craftsy on most days

I am an early bird and usually don’t stay up very late. So usually not into the evening - unless I’m sewing on a layout I might do that in the evening while watching/listening to tv.
Otherwise when ever I can fit it in! I work full time so most of the days I’m taking care of the dailies when I get home.

During the school year I am on and off the bus 3 times a day. So it's harder for my mojo to get going during the week. The weekends are better. I usually go to at least one crop a month, so I get most of my scrapping done there.

I scrap whenever the urge hits me but mostly in the evenings until late.  The mornings are usually house chores, errands and other things on my agenda.

I generally scrap in the middle of the day (afternoons) except on days that we have something going on - doctor/dentist appts, grocery shopping, errands. I quit around 5pm to spend time with DH. I will spend 15 - 20 minutes during other times to go over my photos and challenges, look for papers and embellies for the next LOs, or work on journaling. That way when I sit down to scrap I can get a LO done more quickly.

No evening or night scrapping here.  My brain shuts down when the sun goes down.  I am up early, sometimes 4 or 5 and head to my room to create.  Usually I do chores that need to be done and then I am free to scrap away since I am now retired.  The evenings I collapse on the couch and will cross stitch.

Usually late afternoon. I have no particular schedule being just me and the cat here lol. But I’m a slug in the mornings, move very little and do almost nothing. If I have anywhere to go usually just after lunch and I walk and watch tv/crochet in the evenings so I play late afternoons.

I'm neither a night owl nor an early bird. I'm more of a mid-day kind of gal. Therefore, that's the time of day I scrap. Since retiring, I can scrap just about any day except when one of us has any kind of appointment.

I’m retired and my husband is still working so generally on weekdays during the day but it depends what else I have going on.

I have always been a morning person, but I try to get my household stuff done first AND sometimes I have been waking in the middle of the night and I am
wide awake so I will stay up and scrap then go back to bed at 5am when hubby leaves for work.

We’re both retired so I scrap whenever I can. Not usually too late at night because the cabin is very open and whether Steve is in the bed or on the couch the lights and/or noise will wake him up.

Once we move though I’ll have a dedicated room downstairs which should take care of that situation. Like last night I couldn’t sleep for anything. Didn’t actually sleep until about 5 am! If we were in the house I’d have gone downstairs and done something productive!!! Lol!

Oh and I’m a total night owl! I’m very grumpy in the mornings but I try hard not to be. :)

I don't typically have a specific time. I scrap throughout the day. Night time is the quietest. So I do like the peace.

Well, as a teacher, I scrap more in the summer. LOL. On weekends, when I have time, through the school year.  Scrapping is my therapy, so when I am having a rough time at school, I squeeze in time after work or an hour or so.
