During Covid we often crafted together in small and large groups. Since there seems to be less access to crafting and scrap crops locally, this seems to be a good alternative. Once upon a time it was free, then went to hour long events, then gramma purchased the subscription and others would also host. Google caught on, and only gramma could host.
mom has been hosting midweek events recently and I was considering buying a the google subscription so I could host a few on the weekends. Just wanted to know if there was an interest amongst 2Peas? Not every weekend, and most likely in the months leading up to summer. It will get busy around here with guests and such.

weekends are hit or miss for me but IF I'm home - any of those would work for me. Saturday evening is the time I'm MOST likely to be home

Seems my time is not as much my own as it once was. That said, Sunday mornings (noon Eastern) would work best for me most weeks. Not this week or next though, so who knows?

Noon on Sundays & Sunday afternoon would be the best for me!

I may switch it around based on comments. I just came up with a series of times. This is mental health therapy for me! I miss all of my 2pea friends.

Sundays work best for me as we do things Saturday's most of the time. Sunday is mainly a down day to chill.

I ticked off all the time choices - I will try and make time to join. My weekends do not have a set schedule and I can never predict when I would be around. The weather has a lot to do with it too!

Sunday is usually a pretty good day for me. Saturday is pretty hit or miss, but I would try to join in when I can.

Thank you for offering to do this, @angel99701. Sundays are out for me, but I might be able to hop on some Sat afternoons.

What time zone is SCT?
I can plan to be available on Saturdays 4PM, with a dinner break around 6Pm for about half hour, then until around midnight.
And same on Sundays.
My time zone is CST.

Sundays I’m almost always free all day except for switching out the laundry. Saturdays mornings are usually filled, afternoons are hit or miss, late afternoon/evenings are usually free.

I chose all the times except for Saturday nights, but it’s also going to be pretty hit or miss for me. My scrap room is an open office/scrap area and everyone’s around on the weekend.

I've never done these and I'm not sure how they work, but thanks for tagging me.
I do tend to craft every weekend, but mostly in the mornings, eastern time. Typically an hour or so very early (7ish) and two or three more later (10 or 11 to 1 or 2ish) both days. For that reason, I voted only for the earliest time slot on Saturday.

I've never done these and I'm not sure how they work typically whoever opens one will share a Google Meet link/code that you can use to join the online crop on Google Meet. You can use a smartphone or tablet - or a laptop/desktop with a webcam and microphone. Some people are very chatty, some less so. And we just chat and craft (or organise or think about crafting...) together - sort of like at an actual crop but virtually. Some will stay the entire session, some pop on for a bit as time/life allows. |

But I would go with the masses for the noon on Sundays - I am CT. |

Very much the same-although my time frame wasn't on there. Since I get up at 5 am all the other days, I generally am up by 5 or 6 am on Saturday too. I tend to scrap really early in the am, while everyone else sleeps. But I understand if no one else is up for 7 am scrapbooking on a Saturday morning!  By 10 am, (the earliest time slot) I am generally off and running on weekend activities with family or friends IRL. |

angel97701, are you planning to start one this upcoming Sunday? As it stands now, dd will be home Friday evening and by Sunday morning I should have enough head space to be able to spend an hour or two on line before heading off to brunch.

Since I will be spending 12 hours on May 4 (Star wars day!) online in my Altenew Secret Garden Retreat, I'm not sure if I will have creative mojo left? OR maybe I will need to finish up a few things. I need to go check into actually signing up for a Google meet account. If I did it will probably more of a last minute decision. I will post the night before if I think that is the direction I go. Thanks for checking in!
