So I was just curious - Another thread got me thinking -
When do you scrap best -
I think I am an early morning scrapper - Like between 5:30 - 9 am - I am just too tired in the evening - there are exceptions - Like when I have had a glass or two :thumbup: - I'm a pretty good scrapper then too - Not as critical -

So when do you scrap best?
 
I like to spend time with my husband in the evening, and if we're not together watching a show or talking or whatever he usually needs to use the computer so I do other crafty stuff. So really the only time I can scrap is in the afternoons when both kids are sleeping (I have about an hour-hour and a half a day!) I don't clean, cook, or do anything else. This little time is MINE. :)
 
i think i scrap better at night. I've tried in the morning before kiddos are up but I don't think I'm awake enough. I'm night owlish.
 
I don't have an optimal time atm...I used to get a lot done when the kids were at school. Now, I do it with them here, but there are definitely more distractions. Sometimes, I really get into a groove after they have gone to bed (midnight during the summer), and I'll stay up until 5 to finish up a layout.
 
I do best later in the day into the night time. I'm a night owl and I really come into the groove then.
I've an advantage though of not having many time constraints. No kids, I don't work and have a spouse who knows he can talk to me when I'm on here playing,lol.
 
I scrap every night after the kids are in bed and sometimes I will also scrap through the day. I work from home, so the computer is always on and near me... so if the mood strikes me, I'll work on a page throughout the day.
 
I have no choice during the week, I scrap at night after I get home from work. But on the weekends it's an all-day thing since I get interrupted several times to feed kids, play, eat, shop, clean (hmmm, let me re-think that), let the dogs out, etc. I could go all day if I could.
 
Late at night. After everyone is in bed and I can turn the lights off and sit in the dark and be by myself. No one yelling "MMMMMOOOOMMMM" or grabbing my hand off the mouse trying to drag me to see something.
 
There is no specific time that is better for me. It's just a matter of mindset. I scrap best when I have no books tugging at my mind & distracting me. I scrapped 15 layouts between Jun 1 & Jun 14, which is pretty good for me, then I got sucked in to the Stephanie Plum series, read 13 books in 6 days and cannot focus enough to scrap. I'd like to scrap, but I keep thinking about the books. I had the same problem about 4 months ago with the Phryne Fisher series.
 
I can scrap as long as there is no one calling Mommy!! all the time, climbing up the computer chair and doing all things with the mouse. HAHahA!
