So earlier this week I saw @londoncuppa 's scrap set up for MOC is 3 monitors! Check it out!:

So what is your setup like for MOC? Does it change in MOC?

Me, as usual in January, I'm laptopping on the dining table, in air conditioned comfort in the middle of the house, so I can still see what the kids are up to while home on school holidays. I have a desk in the study but it's way too hot in there in Summer. I have brought my rolling high back office chair out here with me because it's more comfy than the dining chairs but the vinyl is seriously shedding on the outer seat edges (the inner bit is mesh like a car seat). It's about 3 years old, nothing lasts anymore but I feel more scrappy sitting in it rather than one of the dining chair.
 
I've done zero scrapping ... boo! But I'm only1 month into my new job and there is just SO SO much to learn so at least I have that excuse. Infact I have to head out the door in a few minutes but wanted to take a peek and see what was up quickly. :D Hope to be back later tonight to check out the challenges a little more and leave some gallery love.

I am so jealous of that set up though! Wow ... very cool! Margaret is dedicated!!! LOL. I just have my big 27" iMac monitor ... but I love it!
 
Laptop in my comfy chair looking at my big screen TV or glancing out the sliding glass doors to my backyard.

I had my last Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi about four years ago. That was my fave soda, too.

I did find a replacement that is flavored carbonated water, but still have a little of that everyday, lol!
 
I have a laptop, and a desk in the corner of our creativity room. It shares the space with crafting materials, sewing machine and other things so is sometimes packed away in it's case to make room for other activities.
 
I'm currently sitting on the floor of our family room, with my laptop on the coffee table in front of me. This table is almost 30 years old; it was in my childhood home and was "gifted" to me when I moved into my first place. My laptop has a 17" monitor and a full keyboard (and I use a wireless mouse). I also have a 22.5" monitor that I keep saying I'll use along with my laptop, but I just haven't found a desk I like that's also (1) comfortable and (2) affordable and (3) fits the space where I want it. So I have spent years sitting on the floor to scrap. It's starting to be hard on the knees and back! :imok I need an actual chair, and @bellbird Justine, I love how you use an office chair. I really dislike our dining chairs, but I recently got an insane deal on a nice, comfy side chair. (I got it for $40 at the store's outlet! :bunny) It's currently in the office at my puzzle desk...but maybe I should use it for scrapping at the dining table?
 
I scrap on a laptop, so it goes wherever I go.

Nothing too fancy and sometimes it gets a little slow, but it works for me. (=

I had to laugh at your post of my setup. Since I can’t quit my job to stay home and scrap all day (wishful thinking), I’ll settle for my crazy screens and a barrel of coffee... and my Pad family is also a must!!

This is my setup! I just got the 2nd monitor for christmas & am loving that- I didn't think I'd use it as much since I have my HUGE 24" monitor but it's great to have folders open or watch a movie/show. My computer is in our office (the hubby calls it my bear cave!) and it's got a huge window for great light (and I can see the kids playing outside usually!) It's my favorite place in our house, except maybe the back porch, but it's pretty awesome for scrapping! ;)
 
Most of the time my 15" laptop is on my desk in the family room and I have a travel mug of coffee or tea next to me. I miss having a 17" screen (and hope to go back to that size when I replace this laptop), but I don't think I'd like having a "real" monitor in addition to my laptop.
 
Laptop on the couch normally with little puppy dog on my side keeping me warm (or if he gets excited his tail is my air conditioning).
 
My 27" iMac which was new around Thanksgivingin my studio with cups of tea in the am, and coffee in the afternoon along with alternating water. Coffee and tea are decaf and only with stevia as I'm working on having a better relationship with the bathroom scale.

The old iMac is still sitting on another table which is next to the table with the new one but I must be getting a bit ADHD in my old age because I don't think I can look at 54" of stuff at the same time. I had planned to use it to listen to cds, yes those old things, but haven't bothered yet. Later this month it goes to a charity and the printer will move to that table.

I love my space!
 
I have a 17" laptop on a riser on the top of my office desk. To its left is a 27" second monitor. I love scrapping on the large monitor and using the laptop to look up info, check kit contents or browse templates, and also to have something playing on Netflix while I scrap.
