So if you were stuck at home for a prolonged period of time how long could you keep busy crafting/creating? For me it would easily be a month or 2 before I ran out of photos to scrapbook. Yep I'm definitely not current. Eventually I'd run out of adhesive though. Then I'd just move on to reading and watching movies/TV. Hopefully the snacks wouldn't run out LOL!

Probably a month.
It would stretch out longer because I’d probably mix it up with other things reading, TV, other hobbies. But at least a month.

I feel like a while because besides just regular scrapbooking, there are always those more time consuming projects that I can never get into. Like messing around with my Silhouette more and Minc machine. I have lists with techniques I want to try or tools to work with more, can always do some ink blending and playing with stencils.

I might run out of adhesive but other than that - probably a year easily...I have plenty of paper/cardstock and photos.
I also have sewing projects and cross-stitch and there's always genealogy to fall back on...
I never worry about being bored...

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I could find crafty things to keep me busy for a very long time - I would go stir crazy with cabin fever long before I actually ran out of things to do. Depends if I could have missing supplies delivered though - there would be a few things I’d stall on because I ran out of supplies, like yarn for crochet and adhesive for cardmaking. But there’s always digital scrappy stuff to do, and I could use all of my stamps once I ran out of patterned paper... one layer cards, I could learn coloring really well...

I'm set to go for a very long time. Months. Years. The stash runs deep.

I'm set to go for a very long time. Months. Years. The stash runs deep. Same. And I can print at home. When photos run out I have a ton of mixed media projects to tackle. |

5+ years. I'd eventually run out of tacky glue, but we have a pretty large stockpile of Mod Podge that would do in a pinch...

Probably not long. Buying adhesive and ordering photos is boring. I have plenty of the fun things.  |

Except for ATG refills I could scrapbook for a very long time using supplies and photos I already have. Say I scrapbooked 4 hours a day I’d guess 3 years, easy.

I have so many projects I want to work on, classes to finish and techniques to play around with that I could easily go months if I were to be trapped inside for an extended period of time.

Years? I have lots of photos to organize and print. I have yarn to knit/crochet/weave. I have lots of art supplies to paint and art journal with. And then lots of art magazines and books to go through. Not to mention going down the rabbit hole on YouTube. I sometimes think of all I could get done if I stayed home for even a week with no outside distractions. Lol!

I could easily scrap for months so long as I didn't run out of adhesive.

Till I die. Seriously. And that includes adhesives.
My stash is ridiculous. I can print my own photos, and I have extra ink. If I run out of photos to scrap, I enjoy making cards. I also like to do vinyl projects, both HTV and regular vinyl. I do glass etching with vinyl, too. I have extra shirts, tiles, glassware, wood, etc., so I could keep busy till I drop dead.
And at that point, my kids will either hate me for the stash that still remains, or happily divvy all the supplies up between them and have a ball playing with my goodies that I hadn’t gotten around to using.

I probably have a months worth of traditional scrapbooking photos. That would be 8-10 hours per day every day. Which let's face it, that wouldn't happen. -- Then I don't know about digital photos and scrapbooking. I'd probably take a week and just match layouts with my photo folders and see where the gaps are. Then go from there.
I could sew for at least 3 months, embroidery for a few weeks, candles for 1 day, soaps 1 day, and art journaling/drawing-painting could keep me busy for another 4-6 months at least

Most likely forever. So many fun toys to play with, new techniques to try, photos to scrap, etc.

I'd probably last about a month before I ran out of adhesive.
Photos? A good 2 or 3 years.😁

After looking at my stash I could go craft to infinity and beyond. When I ran out of pictures I could make cards. I could totally give the Hallmark store a run for its money.

YEARS. I splurged on a ton of different widths of a scor-tape alternative last month during an annual sale at a stamp store (also bought tons of stamps that I spent a day mounting to ez mount) so even without my tape runners and liquid glue, the 6 rolls of 55yd each double sided tape ought to hold me over. That would normally be the one thing I'd say I'm most likely to run out of, but even with that, I've been going on the discontinued pink tombow runner refills that I nabbed up from Hobby Lobby for a couple of years now (I bought the koyuko or whatever ones along with a box of refills when I was stocking up on the tombow and won't allow myself to use it until the tombow is gone...I didn't think I'd still have like 8-10 refills left of it at this point, lol).

I'm set to go for a very long time. Months. Years. The stash runs deep. Same. I was a scrapbooker before I even had my daughter so I stocked up on baby/kid scrapbooking stuff before she was even born and I have taken soooo many pictures of her. My stash runneth over....I will be scrapbooking into the rest home because I will never run out of pictures and paper. |

Months easily. This would be my perfect life, except I do like making new memories to document! But I’ll run out of supplies before photos for sure.

there are always those more time consuming projects that I can never get into. Like messing around with my Silhouette more I could make some of those cut files I have saved that take like 20 different shades of paper and tons of small pieces to create.  |

Months and months.
I could create scrapbooks, travel notebooks, and cards, then switch over to sewing and quilting for a while...then switch back or maybe try some embroidery...
I would love it. I’m sure there’s some point where I would get bored, but I honestly can’t imagine how long that would take.
I definitely wouldn’t run out of paper, supplies, or fabric any time soon.
