I was a mainly crop scrapbooker pre-pandemic, and that's probably why I haven't really made anything except for cards since March 2020. I've been trying to get time in my shared office space but my husband is still work from home 3 days a week so less time in my crafty space. I suppose I could treat my kitchen table or living room as a "crop" space (just wheel out what I need like I did for away from home crops) but I'm lazy.  |

I have a craft room (also my WFH office right now) but find that I am making more cards that scrapbook pages right now at home.
I go to Wed-Sun 5-day retreats twice a year (next one is at the end of this month - yay!) and I get a lot of scrapbook pages done there. It's probably where I am most productive as I don't have the distractions of home. There are 10-12 of us and we rotate meals so I'm really only responsible for one meal the whole time I'm there.
Before COVID, my BFF & I would also go to the day crops held the Senior Center in my town & they were about once a quarter or every other month depending on attendance. These are run by the Parks & Rec dept so I expect at some point they will come back.
When a convention comes to town, we usually attend the crops there as well but mostly to finish up any projects we had from the classes we took.

Sitting on the floor, at the coffee table (no craft space). Hence my username.  |

I have a lovely loft I scrap in. I can look out into my garden and downstairs from my space. It is perfect for me as well as a few friends. I attend either a day crop or weekend retreat once a month post pandemic which made me realize how much I missed being with others who shared the same passion for our hobby.

Pre-pandemic I did 90% of my scrapbooking at my LSS. Either at crops, retreats, or just using their crop space with friends for a day here and there. I would sometimes scrapbook at home, but I preferred the dedicated time and outing that came with scrapping at my LSS.
I have since started scrapbooking more at home, and am currently working at the kitchen table. This tends not to be overly productive as I have to find a time where nobody else needs the space, needs me, and everyone is otherwise occupied. And then there is the hauling everything out and putting everything back. Recently I got a desk, which will go into our loft space, and should give me some dedicated space in an otherwise under-used area of the home. The goal is to refinish the desk this summer so that I have a dedicated space for me to use in the fall/winter. The majority of my supplies will still likely be stored in the office on the main floor, but I'll be able to house all my tools and have a small workspace were I can leave projects out.

Hope you find some new playmates soon, either IRL or on line. I have converted what used to be a small office in my home to a scraproom. Still has the computer and personal files/etc, but the scrappy crap has completely taken over! A few years ago, I had a kitchen designer come in to design and build work counters and cabinets suited to my needs. So I do most of my scrapping here. Once or twice a year, I attend crops at the LSS. They were put on hold this spring, but hoping they will resume in the fall. I like the buzz of playing with others occasionally, but scrapping on my own, in my own space, at my own time is much more relaxing. |

There's a loft area in our attic that I took for my crafting space. It's kind of a dumping area for all the unsightly things in the house, like sleeping bags, luggage, a mini trampoline, etc. DD18 and I take turns using the table for our projects, so often I end up scrapping on the carpet. I wish I had better walls to use for storage, but I'm under the eaves.
I just started back to the once monthly day crops I used to attend in 2018 and 2019. They've been going on for awhile, with social distancing, but I didn't feel comfortable until after I'd had both my shots. It's so nice to see those girls again!

ferblover used to scrap with me, but she ended up a 'cereal' killer.. (Long story!!! LOL...years ago I had a retreat and needed to fill a spot, I posted here and ferbie answered. My DH said 'what if she is a serial killer?' Ferb shows up.. all 5 feet of hers .. she is a teeny tiny cute thing) and I laughed and told her the story and she will now forever be the cereal killer (changed serial to cereal for purposes she doesn't end up in my prison) Thing is she was walking into 10 of us and 1 of her.. She should have been the scared one.
