Do you ever scrap while under the influence?😀

Do you want to know how many times I've messed up things with my guillotine trimmer when scrapboozing? Not having a desk means I scrap in the living room. I have messed up skin (my own), linen/cotton cushion covers (for some reason, I pull a cushion on my lap when trimming cards/paper for mini albums when I'm sitting on the floor by the coffee table - especially if the coffee table is taken over by a variety of scrap stuff and photos) - at least 3, papers and photos (ah, another case of not-cut-straight-while-tipsy-nitis).

Don't get me started on getting a little less careful with ink pads. Open StazOn pad dropping right on my PJs? Sure. More than once, twice, multiple times. 'Tis not pretty.

Then there's the whining and honey-please-but-be-careful pleading. Like lifting a photo I stuck down crooked because, you know, again, that delicious wine (or cocktail or scotch). "But don't pull too quick or it'll go wrinkly permanently! Nooo, you have to help me. I can't do this right now. CLEARLY!" As if my SO hasn't been sharing the bottle with me. Seriously, I don't know what I'm thinking but boozed up me is either super chill or super whiny. There's no in-between. Apparently, I once started petting his feet to try and convince him to help lift a crooked piece of paper.  

At crops, I’ve been known to enjoy a libation or 4 while scrapping. **touch wood** there have been no injuries or wrecked pages.

I hate when that happens. 

I'll have a glass of wine or cocktail while crafting in the evenings at home or at a retreat. But, once I get more than 1, I'm no good for scrapping or cardmaking. I'll watch crafty videos or chat with friends instead.

Once at a three day crop we went to a Mexican place for lunch. I had a margarita. I didn’t realize it was going to be huge and strong. By 3pm I was ready for bed. Never did it again. I’m not much of a drinker and definitely don’t day drink for that reason.

I know myself well enough to know that drinking and scrapping don't go together. I'm too clumsy. I'd just destroy supplies. For me what goes with drinking is sitting outside under the tree, watching football, eating appetizers, and playing cards. So just a lot of sitting. No scissors. Just sitting.

Scrapboozing??!!  Hysterical! I love that and will be using it from now on. I go to all kinds of retreats with many of the same gals attending. The ladies really let loose and have a great time. It’s just fun being among fellow scrappers especially after the last two years. No hubby’s/partners around so you can let your hair down. My friend and I had a few old fashioned’s at the bar in the hotel at a retreat. Next thing you know, we are booking a cruise. Crazy funny explaining that to the hubby the next day. She and I will have fun on the cruise, though🤣

Hahaha same!! 

Although that's how I killed my MacBook (that I use to do all of my scrapping). I spilt a whole cup of coffee on it, killed that mf dead. It cost me $800 to get it fixed.

I don't drink, so no scrapboozing here. It sounds like fun though! 

Yes, usually on Saturday evening. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it hinders lol. 

ETA: Totally going to be using the term scrapboozing now! 

I've thought of using that as an excuse for some of my crappy pages, but the answer is no. I can see hurting myself with scissors.

I'm not a drinker so I have no such excuse for any silly things I do on my pages.


I like how the time of day apparently doesn't play into your decision not to drink...

I dont drink alcohol nor use any substances of an under the influence nature and I prefer not to be around those who are imbibing when they usually get loud and silly.

At one crop I used to attend, they set up a cash bar in the evenings. Because of the fabulous variety of snacks and candies provided all day long, I never bought any drinks.

I'd rather save my calories for M&M's.
