      Printing stamps - now that's a category I don't have a tag for - got one for kits with postage stamps. #MOCday19

      Been attending some Affinity digital art classes - going to use today's MOC challenge as an opportunity to practice.

        thanks Cynthia - it doesn't help that we can't go out and it's so dark here at the moment too. Have loads of inspiration for the photography but they all involve visiting one of my favourite places - can't due to Lockdown. I guess that isn't helping with my mood regarding the page. @MrsPeel

      moving desks etc around and finding space for my things that used to have homes but don't anymore - had to give TJ my desk for home school

      That's us back in stay at home - full lockdown again until mid February. The 2 weeks home schooling just became 6+ weeks

        Ugh. I'm so sorry. My boys just got to go back to school today for the first time since mid-November. They are thrilled to be going back! I hope your time at home going smoothly and quickly!

        I'm sorry! It's hard to have disruptions to routines, especially with school. Hopefully, you can take some photos and document this weird, strange time.

        I said the same thing about the flower challenge! But, in the end, I love my page! Once I thought of an idea, it was pretty easy to pile on the flowers.

      No, I'm not going to overthink today's challenge. I will wait until the household is calm and then just sit and type whatever comes.

        Good news - managed to get another laptop. We should now be able to distance learn without the 3 children having to take turns, and hopefully my laptop won't be needed as much either.

        I am sorry that you have had to change everything around! So many of us in the same boat with you so you are not alone. I know that doesn't help though. We have had to cut back on our plans as well because of Corvid and other issues. But we will work through it as we always do. Merry Christmas to you and yours in whatever you are able to do.

      wow, I've got about 200 Lilypad Alphas in my stash, not mentioning the hundreds of non-Lilypad ones too. I need to use them more often

        I have a ton too, but I rarely use them. I find I use fonts with styles more often than not.

    I'm mum to 3 teenagers, two of whom have special needs. My hobbies are art, paper crafting and sewing - well anything remotely creative that I can get my hands on and have the time/space to do really.

    I'm primarily a digi scrapper, but sometimes do hybrid for mini albums and gifts. My favourite part of scrapbooking is to tell stories. My husband is an avid photographer, and I like adding personality and character information to them through scrapbooking. I like including quotes of what my children said, or some of the amusing things they did at a location or event.
