Pick all the months that apply. Some months just lend themselves to being more creative. The rainy season, the SO has a yearly event that takes him/her away and leaves you with time, school is out and you're a teacher, etc.
Let us know in the comments if it's sewing, knitting, scrapbooking, art journaling, etc.

January, February, and March, when it's too cold to do any work outside.

I craft every month, even though I couldn't select December.

Summer months - June and July - since I’m out of school. By August, I’m usually prepping my classroom so not much time then.

Jan, Feb, March since it's cold and snowy outside! I do scrapbooking only. I skip the summer months--too busy and start back up with a few layouts in October because I love fall!

I chose the ones in which I have a retreat or convention.

All of them really, I challenge myself to do at least five layouts a month but I mostly scrap more in the winter months.

I chose December and January because of DD but really I craft most of the year round - but only usually on Sundays. If it's one of my years for travelling overseas to the UK and Europe, then I wouldn't do anything in January but would spend the next few months on my travel album.

I craft year-round but there are some months where life is busier than others and I get less crafty time. Which months sometimes varies - this year July was super busy and so was August and also October.
I scrapbook most of the year. I sew in the fall/lead up to Christmas - I give lots of homemade gifts. My BIL sent me a laptop with an older operating system so I'll be able to run my embroidery software again so I'm hoping to get back into that. Occasionally I cross-stitch.

I go to a 2 day crop in Jan so I usually get me mojo back for a couple of months!

Less in September and May/June (just trying to keep up with the kids beginning/end of school stuff, not much time for anything else) and December. More in January/February (too cold/rainy to do anything outside) and July/August (lots of free time and sun to keep me happy/in a good mood).

I also craft year round but I tend to do more of it in June - Sept when it's cold and wet and in Dec for my DD.

June, July and part of August when I am off from school, along with Christmas break in December. Scrapbooking mostly and a little bit of beading.

For me it’s in the fall leading up to Halloween (costumes) and November/December with making holiday gifts and before my DD’s birthday in late spring. This year I barely did anything in any of the other months.

I selected all 12. I am not an outdoor person anytime of year, so I hibernate in winter and in summer.

I picked February because I do Layout a Day. March is Calvinball. April is my spring retreat. May is Layout a Day. October is fall retreat and Layout a Day. I selected all of them but I probably should have picked just October for overall productivity.

I chose January (right after I have lots of Christmas and dgk photos), March (Calvinball), April (spring LSS retreat) and October (fall retreat). Should have added August, when justjac and I usually get together for a couple of days to scrap. But I tend to scrapbook most months except for June when we are working in the garden, and December (busy with Christmas prep)

I'm a teacher, so I binge scrap/art journal when school is out. January, March, June & July are when I am most productive. I do daily projects for Advent,Lent & "30 days of Thankful", usually in a 6x8 or mini album style, although lately I'm loving travelers' notebooks for those. Those only take a couple of hours of prep on the front end and then 10-15 min per day and they feel manageable because there's a definite end to them. I use the other times to catch up on my kids' albums and Project Life.

I try to craft all year long, usually traditional and digital scrapbooking. But March and July are definitely more prolific months for me. March as it's either too cold or too wet to do much outside. January/February seem more school focused for me. July used to be too hot for much outside. Since moving to Michigan, that's not really the case, although old habits die hard. I get into more craft styled items in July than scrapbooking.

Feb-May for me, and then again in October. Other months I have other priorities and tend to be in a shopping cycle then, versus a creating cycle.

I'm all over the place. I craft a bit more in the winter months, but most of my crops are in the warmer months. One of my favorite crops is in the mountains and no one is going there during the winter.

I'm a very infrequent scrapper. As a SAHM, whose 3rd grader is finally in school full time, I'd say the months after Christmas before school ends in May or June.
I picked January, February, March, and April. When it's warmer weather, less gets done.

I didn't vote because I scrap whenever the feeling hits, and I have free time. No month, or season is more scrappy for me, unless it's after we get home from a vacation, and I'm inspired. 🙂

I scrap more in the summer. I love being in my craft room in the evenings with the sun shining in, window open to let in a cool breeze.

I'm not sure. Maybe the winter months? It's so hard to want to go anywhere when it's cold.

for me it's the first quarter of the year. DH works more during that time so i have more time on my hands. that makes for much welcomed crafting time.

Winter 🙂 It’s cold, dark and I need to get my Christmas cards done! Then in January I’m still in card making mode so I keep going!

I get more done during the first months of the year. We are usually inactive during these months (no travelling or outdoor activity to distract).
