    I'm all over the place...depends on my mood, but audiobooks are in the mix for me too.

    For me it's either one of my UK tv streaming services, a Podcast, music, an Audible book or YouTube.

    I prefer silence, but what I usually get is a bit of silence punctuated by household chatter from the kids, the dog, even dh!

    Many of the Above!
    Today it was Supernatural. Because Michele @michelepixels has me watching that from the beginning! Earlier it was Disney Soundtracks. Yesterday it was Podcasts and the Household.

    It's never silence. My house is NEVER quiet! Nor audiobooks. Because I can't follow a story and scrap at the same time.

    I love to listen to music, and do sometimes while scrapping, but often I choose silence especially when I am home alone in the day. When the other family members (the boys) are home, I have been known to put on my headphones and not listen to anything . . . they assume I'm recording or listening to something and they are actually a bit quieter when I do that. I call Jay and Daniel Foghorn Leghorn. Jay is Foghorn and Daniel is Leghorn. The get so LOUD when they are discussing anything remotely exciting.

    It's either silence or Netflix so I'm not sure which vote to cast.

    most of the time its just household noise (but not mine....due to the heat my windows are open so I hear the neighbours outside doing construction, trains going past my house, kids playing etc), sometimes I play my spotify playlists but other times its silence - it really depends

    Three out of six is what is going on (music, TV etc. and household noises), but silence is what I would like (but never get) .

    I think I have become the "station maker" on Spotify! I have my "create", "just scrap", relaxin scrappin" and a few more. My favorite scrap related one is "Get it done" for deadline working. Depends on mood and such. lmao!

    I did a MOC lo with one of my spotify playlist, so that quite answers your question :) But I also like to watch some of my fave movie/tv shows on Netflix via my nephew's tablet, no telly in my pc room.

    I said silence, but every once in a while I'll play some music, usually a movie soundtrack like the (newer) Pride and Prejudice.

    all the above, except podcasts - however i will qualify 'tv on in the background' with: it may start as on in the background and me scrapping but usually ends up with me watching and the screensaver magically appearing and time disappearing...
    i do find i'm generally faster and happier with background music and acoustic kinda stuff on spotify

    I'm a mix of regular house chatter after dinner and whatever random shows Peter puts on while I scrap. When he heads to bed, I usually pick a show or movie that I know of, so I don't have to pay a lot of attention.

    So glad to see I am in the majority with silence. Don't like to be distracted. I tried tv one night and just couldn't keep my mind focused on my layout Was too busy watching tv!!!!!

    I picked "regular household chatter" but really it means the noises at work. And I picked "Silence".

    That's where I tend to GET to scrap. When I have my choice I love scrapping with the TV on in the background the most.

    I'm a mix of three of these choices. Music is #1, household chatter #2, and silence bc I'm often multitasking and managing other tasks ... and I just love a good long daily period of quiet!
