I am a lonely scrapper.
ReplyDeleteI go to a crop once a month with friends. We started with scrapbook layouts but now it's all kinds of things! Cards, wooden letters, calendars, mini books etc. so much fun and we never get bored!
ReplyDeleteI find when I try to craft with friends, I don't get anything done. If it needs to get done, I need to work alone.
ReplyDeleteI usually craft solo.
ReplyDeleteWe're try to get together once a month and scrapbook, and teach each other new techniques.
ReplyDeleteI craft by my self usually. A few times a year I do get together with a group of fellow scrapbookers for a day of sharing ideas and TONS OF FUN!!
ReplyDeleteI wish ... I have no one that shares the same interests as me so all by my lonesome.
ReplyDeleteYes I do craft with friends..Lately we've been getting together and sewing on Saturday's. A sewing circle. We sew, drink tea, eat and talk. We all have a lot of fun and the time goes by to fast. :)
ReplyDeleteThe only person I have to craft with is my best friend who lives in Oklahoma. I live in Kentucky.... :(
ReplyDeleteSometimes, but mostly alone!! Not too many of my friends craft!1

No I scrap alone. I dont know anyone where I live that scraps....or does any craft for that.
ReplyDeleteHa-good question. In my case, when I get together with friends, I usually help them with their projects and don't get much of my own done. So I do my own crafting on my own.
ReplyDeleteI use to get together with my friend once a week, have dinner then scrapbook. That was our first attempts, we did it religiously every wednsday. We got away from that, I have become a cardmaker and would like to have our Wednsedays back
ReplyDeleteScrap with a friend when possible. Probably only 4x a year though.
ReplyDeleteUsually I scrapbook at home alone but this weekend I'm getting together with relatives and scrapbooking at my mom's house.
ReplyDeleteI scrap alone. The only time I scrap with someone else is when I visit my sister. Then it's an all scrap week we have going on, lol.
ReplyDeleteI love to get together with my friends and create journals, canvas art, flowers, layouts about twice a month, sometimes more if I am lucky. I love all the ideas everyone has!
ReplyDeletei get my craft on alone.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend and I like to scrapbook together at least twice a month!
ReplyDeleteI used to go to my Mom's on Sundays to do Layouts. Now I craft at home almost daily and my BFF comes up on the weekends to craft together (we live about an hour away from each other). Mostly we make cards, but dip our hands into other types of projects, too. She helped me finish the Banner for the Love Bugs Blog Hop back in February!
ReplyDeleteOccasionally I get together with fellow scrapbookers, but most of the time I am by myself or my little girl. When I am being creative, I tend to block everything else out - except my little girl!!
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor and I like to scrapbook (she got me hooked on it when my son was graduating. We shop a lot together for scrapbook items and try to get together when we can.
ReplyDeleteI actually do more online collaboration than in person.
ReplyDeleteI scrap with my mom about once a month. I mostly scrap with my friends online.
ReplyDeleteNo. My crafty friends don't live in the area so I craft alone :(
ReplyDeleteOne day a week a group of ladies and I get together and we scrapbook all day.
ReplyDeleteUsually once a week, a few friends get together to scrap but most of the time I scrap alone. I need the alone time to accomplish more layouts.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes . . . my favorite part of crafting is getting together with friends who share my joy for creating.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I did.The closest I come is online crops with my fellow Fiskateers about 6 times a year.Must admit I have made some dear friends that way.

ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteNot very many of my friends are crafty. I've gotten together to scrap with another mother from my son's prek but the only other friend that scraps lives 6 hours away and we don't see each other very often, so we don't craft.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 close friends from work, we go on a crop week end about every other month and at least 1 all day crop each month...Sometimes my sister and neice join us. Great times
ReplyDeleteBoth! My sisters and mom come over once or twice a month and the kids trash the house. It's tons of fun. I also craft when I have a few minutes to spare
ReplyDeleteI'm part of 2 groups each of which meet monthly.
ReplyDeleteI usually craft with friends once a month and we make cards or a 3-d project.
ReplyDeleteI try to get together with friends once a month also. Usually for scrapbooking or cardmaking
ReplyDeleteI am a night owl. Therefore - I am generally a solo crafter. I am currently addicted to all kinds of paper crafting. Scrapbooks, Mini Albums and Recycled/Altered Items !!
ReplyDeleteI usually craft with a friend and my niece. We try to get together every Friday night, but it usually ends up being every other Friday. We make cards, work on scrapbook pages and just have a good time in general. If I have a new tool or technique I will teach them.
ReplyDeleteOh my YES! My crafty friends and I plan regular girls' weekends and we hunker down and share ideas. We stay up late, or depending on how you look at it, early in the am working. We put on our favorite movies to keep us company. In fact, Mr Darcy is an honorary member of our little club.
ReplyDeleteI'm in an Artist Trading Card club that meets every month at a local craft store. We trade ATCs, make a fun group project led by one of the members, eat goodies, and share crafts and stories.
ReplyDeleteWe have a monthly gathering. Each month I set up three card making projects that we will do that night. One month out of each quarter the ladies provide the projects.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun for me to learn from them and gives me a break.
I also provide a meal since most of the ladies work and I get to make the things that I like but are hard to downsize to one portion for a single person.
I kept getting an error message that the service was unavailable. Now I see I have three entries.
DeleteSorry. I kept trying. Should have quit with the first one. Didn't know they were going through.
Rarely, to scrapbook/make cards.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I wish!!! Wish I had some friends to craft with where I live, but I haven't found anyone with the same interests. :( I do have fond memories of stamping & scrapbooking with my friends back where I used to live. :)
ReplyDeleteOnce a month my friends come to my house and we work on card making projects that I've devised. One month out of the quarter the ladies provide the projects. I provide a meal also. Most of the ladies work so they don't have to worry about cooking and I get to cook things I like that can't be downsized into a small portion for a single person.
ReplyDeletesorry there are two entries. I was told the service was unavailable but I guess one got through even though it said it was down.
DeleteA group of ladies meet once a month at my house. I devise the projects and provide the materials. One month out of each quarter the ladies provide the projects. I get a break and learn from them.
ReplyDeleteWe have a weekly scrap night and one of us brings dinner> Most of us scrapbook but some bring other projects such as knitting or home decor items! we have done this for about 2 years now.
ReplyDeleteI am a single crafter. I am teaching my grandkids the fun of crafting every chance I get.
ReplyDeleteI normally craft/scrap alone but there a group of us that do cardmaking for charity...so we try to get together as often as we can and work together while we make our cards. Otherwise, we just do them on our own and then meet to get them sent out to the appropriate organizations.
ReplyDeleteI'm the only one out of my group of friends who scrap! :( But thank goodness for friends I've met online through scrapbooking forums! :)
ReplyDeleteOnly at local crops and such. Otherwise all my stuff is here and tend to be a loner in crafting
ReplyDeleteI like to craft by myself. I think I work better alone. I would like to sometimes craft with some friends though.
ReplyDeleteNo. All by myself. My crafty friend moved to england :(
ReplyDeleteWhen everyone can, we gather together and scrap. But mostly I enjoy scrapping on my own. Weekend retreats are fun though. :D
ReplyDeleteNope no friends just me, myself and I!!
ReplyDeleteKristan
I WISH there was a group of us! I used to live in OR, and yes, I had a LOT of scrapping friends (that I still stay in touch with). Now... I'm a 'loner'. But it doesn't keep me from scrapping or anything else! And MY CRAFT CHANNEL motivates me!!! THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI usually craft solo.

I go to a Stampin' Up get together once a month when the hubby isn't traveling. I probably won't rejoin the club for the next catty so no more group crafting for me. Since we moved, I miss my friends. :(

ReplyDeleteI belong to a guild and we meet once a month to spin fiber to yarn and show off our crafty projects. Since I have moved, I haven't found anyone local to share my paper crafts with. I like to craft with my daughter and nieces when they come to town. The youngest enjoys the cricut an paper dolls.
