  32. I try to Skype with a friend I've known since middle school at least once or twice a month. We do scrapbooking while we Skype. We can keep up with each other's lives and satisfy our scrapbooking addiction at the same time. The only problem is that we can't raid each other's scrapbooking stash! Other than that I either scrapbook by myself or with my sister-in-law whenever we can manage it.
