May 9 TYS prompt: what time is it Mr Wolf?

I'm more of a midday through to evening scrapper. My mornings are best spent ticking things off my to do list that let me play guilt free for the rest of the day. I love nothing more than a pile of inspiring supplies, some podcasts or movies playing in the background, and an uninterrupted afternoon of scrapping.

If I could pick any time of day to scrapbook, it would be around 6 am, after a solid night's sleep.

I love waking up, drinking coffee, and scrapping by the bright first light of the day.

This never, ever happens. Maybe once in the past ten years.


And as for the clocks? I have clocks stamps that I love to stamp onto paper, paper punch out, and use as embellishments. I also have a nearly 12x12 round clock (that was sold in the patterned paper aisle at M's) that I really want to use, but haven't found quite the right layout for yet.

also a morning person...just love scrapping in my pj's with a couple of mugs of hot Earl Grey teas to fuel me.

as mentioned, I start running out of gas by mid-late afternoon...and when the sun goes down, well, I am a bit worthless. LUCKY to get anything matted and on a page.

I scrap up a storm from 10 AM - 2 PM. Then I need to get up/ get out. Then I'm good from about 4PM -8 PM. I guess I'm not really an early bird or a night owl.

when I scrap it takes me a long time to get into the flow... that's why I don't usually scrap at home during the week. So I'm usually a late-afternoon --> evening scrapper. The weekend retreats that I go to are ones where the room is open 24-hours: I was the last person leaving the conference room and that was 2 am one night, and 2:30 the next night! I was sort of still working, just very slowly. If I realize I'm just shuffling papers back and forth and not really doing anything with them, that's my cue to call it a night. Like someone else said; later at night I typically don't overthink my choices and decisions-- I just decide, stick things down, and call it good.

(of course, everything looks somewhat crooked the next day, lol, but that I can deal with!)



ETA:  the 12-hour crops I go to get over at 10 pm.  6-8 pm is when I finally start feeling like I'm getting on a roll, which doesn't give me much time to get anything done, considering I need to start packing my stuff up at about 9:30 pm.

Look at the paper I found to use on my LOAD page. My title comes from something grammadee says.

LOVE it!

I'm not a morning person. But this year DS is in a preschool program a few days a week in the mornings. He has to be there at 8:30 so I get home around 8:50. At least one morning a week I try to scrap. So that has been interesting for me! By that point I've showered and gotten ready, had coffee, etc. when I drop him, so I am truly ready to get down to it. I do really love it and am pretty productive, but it's not my preferred timeframe. I do have to set an alarm on my phone because sometimes I'm so into scrapping I don't pay attention to the time to come get him (never forgotten or been late though).

But usually I'm an evening scrapper. After dinner and until 10-12 pm would be ideal. Unfortunately usually I'm to tired for that since I get up at the crack of dawn with my kid.

Whenever I go to weekend crops I like to use the morning time to sleep in and then I crop until midnight when they close.

Any time that I can and have the mojo to do so, is the right time. We don't do schedules very well at my house. I try but can never seem to make them stick. Come to think of it, that would be a great thing to document about time.

Thank you!  I just snap them with my phone in the album so quality is crap but I'm just trying to participate, lol!
