Since being basically confined to my home you'd think I would be scrapbooking to fill some of the time, but nope it's not happening - yet anyways. It's been busy around here with all the kids home. More cooking, cleaning and laundry are filling a lot of my time. Actually my mind just isn't in the mood to scrapbook or read, etc.

I'm thinking if had fresh photos I'd be more likely to at least make page kits. I have a printer at home, I think today I'm going to use it...

I am scrapping less because I only scrap at crops. But I have started organizing all my crap.

scrapping less right now because I've been doing others things - and spending too much time reading the news

I'm trying to balance working at home and teaching my 1st grade daughter at home. I'm utterly exhausted at the end of the day.

Same here. Just too worried to embrace all the free time.

Way more. I finished December Daily, caught up on February PL, working on March PL (which could honestly turn into an entire album), and my layout stack is at 9. I'm turning my craft time into make masks for our local hospital so that will slow down now.

Does organizing count?
But before all this happened I was just getting back into it a lot. Then a few days go and this all goes down and now put that aside and organizing my room and paper and stuff. I am hoping I will have the mojo to get at it on my days off. We will see. I do want to go through my phone and clean that up. I know that will take forever. I need to print a ton of pictures. So I see myself doing that instead of scrapping. uggggg

I've been scrapping a little more than usual. I'm still wasting too much time looking at screens. If I could tear myself away from them I'd get a lot more done. I just don't have any desire to do anything any faster. Today, besides a little laundry, I'd like to do some reading, baking, and scrapping.

I'm probably scrapbooking less, because I find it hard to focus.
I am taking some photos of daily life...a bottle of hand soap, cooking a meal, trying new recipes, a package from Amazon.

Less 😪
Working from home Lots of cleaning Lots of cooking
And it’s just me and my husband. I can’t believe how many dishes and pots/pans we go through in one day.

I'm barely scrapping at all.
With everyone home, with having to help two kids through excessive make-work review schoolwork packets, with cooking, and washing the dishes, and doing laundry, and sleeping like crap, and never having a moment of quiet or a moment alone....
Nope, not scrapping.

Essentially, my day to Day life has not changed. I am retired. Spend most days at home. Have a well stocked scrap room. So may answer is: my scraptivity is About the same. My scrappy activity goes in fits and starts as I have time and mojo. Just finished a manic round of scrapping in so my prep for a visit with dgk’s which isn’t going to happen now.
In my mind I had to get caught up so I could show the albums to the kids when I saw them, and to be ready to scrap all our new adventures when I came home. Now it doesn’t feel like there is any rush. To scrap I need a weird combo of motivation and relaxation. Not feeling either right now.
Have been pinning like crazy last few days, and still have tons of supplies and lots of things I have not yet scrapped. So when I feel it, I can get going any time...

A tiny bit more as I’ve only just started SBing again after a loooong stagnant period.
I’m working from home (for now) so not much free time yet. My commute was 4 minutes so I only picked up about 8-10 spare minutes lol.
I have moved some SB stuff from my basement craft room up to the main level so I’m HOPING to do more.

About the same. I’m working a little bit from home, even though we’re shut down. My extracurricular activities have gone to online zoom meetings. I’m busy but it’s a much more leisurely pace. Trying to keep my crafting limited to late in the day/evening so I can get things done around the house.

Way less. My 2 high schoolers have taken over my room, so I packed everything up. I have a middle schooler, 3 elementary kids, a preschooler with special needs (I just picked up all the packets with her therapys and I kinda want to cry) I'm completely overwhelmed with schooling. I know some people homeschool this many kids without batting an eye, but I feel like I'm drinking out of a fire house.
I made the goal to scrap 30 pages a month this year. I made the same goal last year and was so close to hitting it. I think I should be near 90 layouts to be on track...I've only done about 35 so far this year.
I hope that there are lots of people out there who are getting some scrappy time in and cleaning and organizing. Keep up the good work and I will live vicariously through you for the next month!

I'm definitely scrapping less. I'm working from home so it's business as (almost) usual for me. My scrap desk is in the same room as my office so I don't really feel like hanging out in there after I've spent hours working.

Like grammadee, I am retired, so I choose my own schedule somewhat.
I am definitely spending more time crafting for myself. That may sound weird, but for the past year I have been teaching a free card class for friends once a month, and it had somehow taken over too much of my time and my life. Ten days ago, I stopped the classes because of the risk.
I have continued to make cards to send to friends and family, since it’s a way to stay in touch when we can’t see each other. Card making is fun, but I have been wanting to get back to scrapbooking for a long time, anyway.
Since there is a Disney stay-at-home crop starting here tomorrow, that may give me the jump start to get back to my Disney album that I was working on but never finished.

Generally spending more scrappy time, though some of it is reorganizing and general tidying

Definitely more. I am coming off a 4-5 month hiatus while tending to an elderly parent. It has been somewhat difficult to get back into scrapping. Have to work on building up my scrappy stamina. This is the perfect time to do so. I'm retired and single so there isn't much else for me to do at home.

About the same, plus a little bit more. I struggle to scrap Mon - Fri as I work full time (from home now) and I am exhausted when the day ends.
My weekends are full of free time for the foreseeable future so I hope to utilise the weekends to get lots of scrapping done.

Scrapping the same amount, but ordering online has been way more than normal. SB.com just came today.

Way less. In fact I’ve had zero crafty me time. Between working from home full time while caring for my 4 year old while my husband is still going to the office, cooking way more, cleaning way more, I have less time than ever.

I'm scrapping less. I'm cooking more with DH now home for lunch also. But I had a bit of cold and the situation was stressing me out which caused my mojo to run away. I'm starting to calm down.

Like you I was just getting back into it and then in Dec I had a death in my family and that knocked me off my tricycle. Now that I'm WFH I SHOULD be kicking butt since i have so much downtime. I'm really going to make an effort to get in there this evening and at least do some organizing.

I am trying to escape to my room in the evening. Just to decompress and relax, shuffling thru my pretty papers is therapeutic for me. My kids are all out on their own, just me, DH and 2 puppers 😊
