One of my aunts scrapbooks CM style (white pages, no patterned paper) at a retreat once a year, so I see her post about that on Facebook.
My neighbor/friend used to scrapbook (and was a StampinUp Rep before I met her) but doesn't anymore. We scrapped together a few times.
If anyone else I know scrapbooks they are doing it in secret...

No, unfortunately. I briefly worked with an older woman who actively scrapped, but I’m not in touch with her anymore. I remember at the time I knew her she was in the process of building a new house with a scrap room.
A friend once mentioned to me that she would like to scrapbook but her husband said she didn’t need to because “it was pointless.” 😬

Yes - my 2 besties still scrapbook. One does more cardmaking but still scraps and the other scraps but also does other crafts with vinyl, etching, etc.
We connected with another group of 8-10 ladies and now we all craft together twice a year at a retreat house Wed-Sunday. We just had our retreat in July and it was wonderful! We also still go to the conventions and have done some of the virtual events (SCT & Pinkfresh).
My mom used to scrap but now I think she only does a couple of Christmas layouts to keep her Christmas book current. Everything else is made into photo books from Shutterfly.

I used to scrap with a group of 12 at weekend retreats twice a year. My youngest dd also joined us several years ago. Currently my best friend and I are the only ones in our group that actively scrap and I am the only one who scraps at home. My best friend still really enjoys collecting scrap supplies, but only scraps if we scrap together.

My BFF is a paper crafter (cards/scrapbooking). We met 10 years ago through another paper crafting friend.
In the two years leading up to the pandemic I used to go to local weekend scrapbook retreats fairly regularly, so I met a lot of great women there. Some I got together with outside of those events. Once the pandemic hit, all that changed.
The only person I still craft with (in-person and via FaceTime) is my crafty BFF.

Some of the online friends I have that scrap are now real life friends that scrap.
I also know a handful of people that scrapbook that I know in life. Not as many as I used to back in the heyday.

Not anymore and I’ve given up trying to find any. It’s been so long since I’ve scrapbooked with someone that it would be weird to do it again.

Yes. I used to work at an LSS part-time (which has since closed) and actively went to a lot of crops at the store so there are people in the area who scrap and I would consider them to be friendly acquaintances, but most I don't really see outside of the crop circuit. That said, one of my acquaintances from the time I worked at the store has become a very close friend and we try to do something scrappy at least once a month. She also has another friend who scrapbooks, so sometimes the three of us will get together. My mom also scraps, but kind of got out of it during COVID. I hope she comes back around.

Not that I know of. I have some crafty friends who may have scrapbooks that I don't know about, and at least one or two make photo books, which is all I do these days too. I have a couple of other friends/acquaintances who make cards and collagey projects but we're all introverted homebodies I think. I've only rarely gotten together with anyone to craft.

I am lucky that two of my good friends are active scrappers! We attend scrapbooking weekends several times a year and when life is not hectic, get together to scrap. We have met others on our weekends that are our friends too.
We are in the process of moving, and after we are settled in, I have a former coworker who wants to start scrapping!

A few of my friends still scrapbook. Most gave it up. Several friends are still into photography though.

Yes, I got two of my closest friends into scrapbooking years ago. We get together a couple of weekends a year just to scrap.

I wish! I'm in New England and, although I know there are scrappers here, it definitely isn't as popular a pastime as I think it might be in other places. Doesn't stop me from trying, though! I'm determined to find someone to scrap with IRL some day!

I just got really lucky. Maybe five or six years ago I met another Pea from my local area, and she introduced me to the group that she scrapped with. We still meet for a crop once every month. She's since quit scrapping, and I really miss seeing her, but the rest of us are still chugging along  |

No any more, I used to have a friend that I scrapped with regularly but she moved on to bujo journaling a few years ago. We’ve lost touch in the last year so now I mostly scrap alone while listening to audiobooks.
