I'm still way in love with scrapbooking, even after 17 years! We don't have a LSS anymore, but me and some friends get together once a month with a larger group of ladies to crop. I still enjoy it very much. It also helps that the online scrapbook store Bluemoon is in my town so I'm able to get new stuff right away!

I do - as much as or more than I ever have. I have more disposable income, and I set aside time for scrapbooking. I go to crops now too. I didn't before I started making the time for it.

I still scrap, although have been in a slump for ages now. I've only ever had 3 friends who scrap - one hasn't done any for several years, and the other 2 have moved away, so I'm on my own now. But I'm looking into starting a scrap group in my town and at least 1 of my DIL wants to learn how, so I might have some company soon.

I still scrap (paper) and love when I find time to do it. Have two new grand babies (twins) to scrap so have lots of photos!
i need to catch up on my old photos from when my kids were little. I'm hoping they set up a challenge board on here so we have some motivation!

I do but haven't in several months. I have been on a card making spree but I am ready to get back to scrapbooking. I want to get my dgs's book for his People to People trip to western Canada done.

I still scrap. I tend to go in spurts with it. I didn't scrap for over 10 years. I was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 5 years ago and decided to scrap while I was home recuperating from surgery. Well, that didn't happen. I didn't feel well enough, but I did do a lot of photo journaling throughout, still do. Then my daughter became very ill and was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer just 6 weeks after my surgery. I am just now able to scrap her journey. It was just too painful before, but her book is coming along nicely. She is also doing great considering she was knocking on death's door 4 years ago.
I also really like to make mini books and cards. I've learned to just go with whatever my mood is at the time. I am able to leave it all out so that helps. |

I do! I belong to group that meets monthly. We started about 10 years ago and take turns meeting at one another's houses. One of our members used to own a LSS and it started as a monthly kit club (anyone remember Pine Cone Press???) that met in the store. When the shop closed we just continued meeting/hosting monthly in our homes. We span in ages 37-51 (there are 11 of us) and mostly have jobs in education (teaching/admin/special ed/college professors etc) . Aside from meeting monthly we usually go to a lakehouse 2x a year for 3 days (we just got back from the lakehouse last weekend- I managed to do nearly 50 pages) As much as I love how much I get done- I also love the time spent with one another. We always get a ton done and laugh/eat/drink and watch a bunch of movies.
I'd say our group is fairly active and has stayed 'in the know'- we always chat about the 'celebs' like we know them, ha!- chat about what's new, current events/workshops (either online or in person). Many do project life and belong to various kit clubs , some do hybrid/digi, and others do traditional 2 page 12x-2 layouts. I think only 2 in our group were members of 2peas, but like me, we're mostly lurkers.

Of course! I am still going strong after 14 years. Some recent examples: - I just completed Hello Story at Big Picture Classes and met my goal of completing at least one page per week.
- I went to the three-day Puerto Rico Scrapbook Event and had to ship back three boxes of projects.
- A friend is coming to crop at my house tomorrow night. I belong to a small group that meets at our homes. One friend just moved back to France so we are low on scrappers right now. But we are looking to add more people if possible.

I scrap but mostly make mini albums. I have a craft room and play when the urge hits! There are some days I can spend the whole day in my room and not accomplish anything but it is my happy place so it's okay!

I still do, but not as much as I used to. It seems the older my kids get the busier we get. Or maybe I am just getting older and don't have the energy for it like I used to. LOL. I recently found a group that crops together each month so hopefully my scrapping will increase!

I still scrap (made three pages this week so far), shop for new products, and I'm on the Whim So Doodle design team. I'm going to keep supporting my LSS like crazy because I would go into a serious depression if I lost them too!!!

I do. Not as frequently, but that's about my time availability, not my enthusiasm or intentions.

I still scrap! I was making good progress until April...have had a couple really rough months that were a struggle to just get through each day and my scrapping got pushed aside...well everything did really! Hoping I am back on task and plan to do some pages this weekend! I do tend to get overwhelmed with where to start and choosing paper.

I still scrap, but not as much as I used to. I'm using the project life style to catch up on many years of my "daycare kids". It's a good way to still have these in an album with journaling to remember all of my crazy babies!

I do! i love creating with paper for memories sake and I still try to scrap daily, but with my arthritic right hand it is difficult to play as much. I think I will always scrapbook because it scratches so many of my creative interests ( I can paint, use markers, and 3 Effects) to enhance my stories. By the way Hi all!

I still scrapbook! I love doing digital now since I can get way more done that way. There is no dragging everything out or searching for an alphabet sticker only to realize your missing letters you need! I do still get together with a few friends that scrapbook. I will usually make mini albums and cards to use up my paper supplies.

I started in grade school cause my mom did but it was just stuff not pics..I loved it. I gave it up after I moved out but I kept my stuff. :)I taught my kids to do it when they were small too. Then I didn't do it for years. I was invited to a CM party in 97 & was instantly smitten.  I have never stopped since then. I still love every minute of it. |

I scrap every chance I get. I scrap in our family room which is next to the laundry room so if at all possible I try to scrap when I put a load of laundry in. It's now become a habit for me particularly when I can do a quick load of laundry in the evenings or on the weekends. I usually scrap alone but def reach out to my girls who are my scrap buddies to check in with them esp if I'm in a slump - we've even scrapped "together" using Skype when we were both stuck at home during bad weather. I go to 2 weekend retreats each year with the same group of women as well.
BTW, part of feeling connected was coming to the 2peas board for me so I'm so glad and grateful this board was started.
PS. Tracie on a personal note - keep up the great work with Tiffany on the podcasts - I love listening to them. You two are a HOOT!!!

I still scrapbook as often as I can. It's summer time so I've been getting a lot more done since I'm now home all day. My daughter is really getting into it too. I do Project Life primarily right now and just love it. I'm almost done with my first album for this year. I can't wait to put it on the shelf and start volume two!

I still do. It is harder to get motivated now that I don't have anyone to scrap with and no LSS with a space to crop, but I have my own scrapping room where I can go and be surrounded by all my goodies, and that helps bring out some inspiration.

I do. I have a scraproom but I have to confess if I have a short space of time to spend there I am more likely to be shopping or messaging. Case in point-when the 2Peas board got jerked so suddenly, I read some news about it, yapped about it with some buddies, threatened to scrap more instead of gaze at stuff online... here I am right now!
I attend at least 2 huge Conventions a year (I am in South Africa- we had Tim Holtz & Paula Cheney in march, we have 6 great teachers in september) and have just booked an Alaskan scrapping cruise for May 2015. Apparently I need a huge occasion to make me scrap. Hmmmm. Logging off now!

I do! It's nice to see so many who still do. I get saddened when I see talk about the hobby not being as popular as it once was. I think it's still going strong! But I've always said I have to keep buying supplies in case the stores stop selling them - I have enough to last the rest of my life if that happens! I am looking forward to retirement next year when I'll have more time to actually get some scrapping done. Of course, I have free time today and what am I doing? I'm playing on FB and here! I have to make myself step away from the computer and get into my scrap room!

I scrap and I will really miss the 2peas gallery. It was my inspiration. And of course, all my unfiled bookmarks are missing! No way to save them.
I hope I won't stop scrapping because of the loss of the gallery. I just loved looking for ideas as I scrapped.

I do and work on LOs at least once a week. It helps that I am semi-retired and both kids are in college. I miss having scrappy friends (almost all of mine have quit except a couple that only do it twice a year at retreats). We used to go crop 2-3 Fridays/month at the LSS. Used to be my mom's night out.

I do mostly paper projects these days with my Cameo. I will get back into scrapping someday though. Goodness knows I have enough scrapping supplies stashed away!
