My job doesn't translate into WFH, so I'm furloughed, but my kids are e-learning now.
I figured since I scrapbook many things about their regular school stuff, I might as well throw in a page about the year that a pandemic forced the closure of the physical school & they had to adapt to e-learning.
I took a screenshot of the letter from school stating that it would close. I took a photo of them at the dining room table using the school laptop.
How about you?

For DD13 - I took a first day of remote learning photo - sittng at the table with the laptop. And the first week, her school did a virtual spirit week where they had to post a photo each day -so I took those photos (get comfy, get creative, get physical, build a fort, school teeshirt)
For DD19 - I've snapped a couple of pics of her hanging out at her desk (university online from home) and of her knitting (I had to buy her yarn and needles - hers are stuck at college).
For DH - he's only worked at home one day so far but I took a picture and he sent me one of him wearing his mask at work. Next week he'll alternate home and work and will set up at his desk instead of the dining room table so I'll take another pic. I also scanned his essential worker letter.
I've asked DS to take a picture of the empty roads headed to work and a picture of him in uniform and he's offered to send me a copy of his essential worker letter. I've already gotten a mask photo and (for the week before they decided he was essential) a beard growing in picture (work requires shaving).
I'm a homemaker but I have gotten pictures of me sewing masks, making cards for the nursing home, and wearing a mask for shopping.

My job also doesn’t really translate to WFH but I’m still employed & receiving tasks from my employer. So I’m working from home. I almost wish I was ‘furloughed’ and had time to do other things. Notice I said ‘almost’ because I’m not sure I’d be doing those things if I was furloughed, and my anxiety would be higher over financial matters. I’m sure I will get there eventually as my employer can not afford to pay me my salary to do minimum wage work indefinitely.
I find when I sit to craft my anxiety gathers and I don’t get much done. In addition, what’s going on in my life right now is all related to the pandemic and while I’ve documented it I’m not going to document it over & over again and raise my anxiety.
I did get a few class kits to make cards and I made one and that helped because it was just doing no thinking it was all planned for me, so I actually lost myself in that. It was refreshing.

My youngest is a Senior so I will somehow incorporate what is happening into his school album. Word from the school is they will hold Prom and Graduation at some point. I'm really hoping those events still happen at some point in some version. Spring sports is probably not going to happen and that is so SO sad.

I'm WFH along with DH & DD (young adult living at home). DS is a sophomore in college and, like every other college student I know, is home doing online classes. I took a picture of him in his lounge-y state (stretched out with his laptop perched at an angle) while he was "in class". So, I'll probably scrap that at some point, but not anytime soon. Too real right now, and too anxiety-producing. Like hop2, some of the things causing me stress and anxiety right now are related to the virus (my father is in the hospital recovering from it), so I can't dwell on it at this time. I'm having a hard time getting my creative energy going when I do have time to scrap, after working 8 hours from home amidst texts and phone calls with siblings and other family members coordinating and getting status updates on my Dad's care. He's out of state for all of us, and of course none of us can travel to be with him - very frustrating! Oftentimes after work I find all I have the mental energy for is making dinner and watching something mindless on Netflix (in between ongoing communication with family). |

I should print screen shots of the questions I sent to his teacher.  My son got a handout in his packet for calm down strategies which I thought was hilarious because of his personality. I thought it would be fun to take photos of him doing the suggestions and making a page. |

I'm doing a weekly PL album this year and am lucky to have a job where I can work from home so I've been including photos of what this new normal looks like for my job. I only do a weekly PL every few years and I'm really glad I chose to do it this year because I think all these little things, like sitting outside with the cat during meetings, is the stuff I probably wouldn't document otherwise.

I'm working from home and my first grader is doing distance learning. I've taken screen shots of the letter closing school, a photo of her on her tablet at a zoom meeting with her classmates, and some of the enrichment projects she's been doing since her curriculum is only 2 hours per day and she needs to be kept busy so I can work. I also have to take photos of her written work to submit to her teacher, so those are a cute way to incorporate her handwriting and some school work, which I would do anyway.
I have 8 local friends with high school seniors ready to have prom and graduation. It's heartbreaking how those rites of passage are being canceled.

My 7 year old dgs is here with us and is home schooling. I have taken some photos of his finished assignments and projects to send to his teacher, and we have been photographing the process to send photos to his mom, so I will definitely have photos of home schooling for scrapbooking. Right now, not alot of time or energy, and the photos are still on my camera and phone.

Originally scrapping the pandemic was not on my radar, but life has change so much I decided I have to. My DH and DS1 are teachers and I have been copying announcements on facebook and other info about teaching from home. I took a couple pics of empty shelves and I ordered quite a few different virus relate die cuts.
An online friend is sending masks to my family and of course I will have to get pictures if we wear them out. Sometime this will be a memory and not daily life. It will be something to record, especially for DGD who will not remember.
