I try to do something related to this awesome hobby at least 15 minutes per day during the week, even if it's just uploading or editing pictures. I have to remind myself that even those small steps are meaningful to the process of capturing our family memories.

At least once a week but sometimes more often. I have a job with a lot of down time so I do it at work :)

I scrapbook every wed. at my local scrapbook store and when I can find a free moment at home which is kinda rare. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!

It really depends on the week but usually 1 or 2 naptimes a week. With a 2 year old and a 5 year old it has to be when they are in bed so if I scrap at nap then I usually scrap that night too.

I scrap about once a week for an hour or two after all 3 of my boys are sleeping. Most peaceful time of the day for me, and the most creative.

I scrapbook whenever I can! Realistically that is at least 3 evenings a week! But that doesn't mean that I am not thinking about scrapbooking at work throughout the day. I just can't wait to scrap!

Once a week (maybe).
Other crafts/hobbies...I am really good at collecting inspiration!! ;) ;)
I don't scrap as much as I would like to, so I have created a bit of a system that allows me to asssemble a page quickly... I upload & lable pictures as specific as possible. Tag/make a collection of the pix that are scrabook worthy. As I'm uploading, I journal then name file with same name as my picture. This helps me with the overwhelming task of selecting pictures. Not to mention my journaling is done too.
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks for the give away. They all look great!

Since the beginning of this year I've been trying to scrapbook every day, even though it is only half an hour. On the days that I'm just not feeling into it, I start with cleaning up my scrap space and organizing it.

Unfortunately, only about twice a month in the evenings. Every once in a while, I get on a roll and get into my scrapbook space for a few evenings in a row. The left over mom enery at the end of my day is usually very low. I just want to sleep so I can face work, kids, house, dinner, husband, ballet, brownies, and my perfect life with a happy, calm, and excited enery the next day!!

I try to scrapbook as often as I can, but I usually manage to get into my room at least 3 times a week.

Not nearly as much as I'd like. Only every few months or so... I really need to get my act together and start finishing up some projects. Your site is such an inspiration. Thanks for the great giveaways too!

It varies - sometimes everyday, sometimes a few times a month depending on our life at the time!

I have to be honest here, I hadn't scrapbooked in months. Until last weekend....I had four days off from work so I started reorganizing my craft room. It totally put me in a creative zone so I abandoned the cleaning and started scrapbooking. I made 3 pages that weekend and now I just want to keep going. I'm trying to spend some time in there every few days, either to continue the organizing or to create. So far it's going well. I've really felt rejuvenated in this hobby. I eventually hope to make creating a part of my everyday life.

With 6 kids and 3 jobs, I have to MAKE time and I usually give myself twice a week to play. Sometimes I get lucky and scrap 3 to 4 times during the week :)

I give myself a day off. Yes, I said a day OFF !! I decided everyone else gets a day off so I deserve one also. It is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I always get to scrap on that day. Usually I can also get in a few hours worked in throughout the week but know I can count on that one day makes me a much nicer person

Fabulous giveaways Ali! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!
I try to have crafty time at least twice a week. It's sometimes and hour here or there or just enough time to make a card, but I savor every minute that I'm doing it!

I try to at least finish one page and card a day. If I finish a page a day that means by the end of the year I will have 365 pages done! Also I made myself promise that I would make one card a day to list in my Etsy store. I just love the CatsLife Press stamps!

I am working at one of my hobbies daily. I have the luxury of my own space (it used to by my own room, but my husband just took up RC cars as a hobby and he deserved his own dedicated hobby space, too) so I can walk in, sit down, and work on whatever is at hand or whatever I am moved to work on at the time.

It varies for me. I have been able to work on creative projects each day this week. However, for several months, I was maybe working on a project once a month or every couple of months because my scrap room (i.e. the bodega) had gotten so messy I couldn't feel any creative vibe! I spent a weekend clearing it up though, so now I have started on my little man's baby album and it's keeping me going each day!
