    Hey, hey everyone! So, we've peeked inside your scrappy spaces and know what you're scrapping on and where, and we know what kinds of things you must have on a page, but are there things that you need to have on your desk or around you when you scrap? Things that you just can't start scrapping without? I do! Here's my top 5:

    1. My planner
    2. My reading glasses - because old eyes.
    3. Coffee (in the morning), Tea (in the evening)
    4. My phone
    5. Music or Netflix

    What are your top 5 must haves when you sit down to scrap? :hummm

    Glasses, Evernote (for any page I may have done prior journaling), beverage (water, coffee or soda), scratch paper, and a pen. Usually. :)

    1. Water or Coffee (depending on time of day)

    That's pretty much it. LOL. I really couldn't think of anything else. I sat down this morning for an hour (before the kids got up) and the only thing I grabbed was a water bottle.

    I enjoy the silence...so no music or Netflix for me. Unless I'm scrapping at night then we'll have Netflix on in the background.

    A good solid internet connection
    My pinterest board for inspiration &/or challenges to do
    Drinks/Snacks cause I'm usually scrapping in the afternoon or early evening and quite often don't have dinner til 8.30pm (my mum finishes work at 8pm most nights so rather than cooking twice i'll often wait til she's home)
    Sometimes music if i'm in the mood (which reminds me I need to do a bit of an update/clear out of my spotify playlists)

    1. I must have my EHD (obviously) and my little pink jump drive. My jump drive has my master excel spreadsheet so I know what I still have left to scrap and also I have a Word doc that I keep track of my supplies on.

    2. a beverage, water or diet coke or wine depending on the time of day, and day of the week.

    3. Pandora with my classical piano station and ear buds. It helps me focus on the task at hand and seriously reduces my distractions.

    4. Preferably my jammies and slippers.

    5. A snack for late night weekend scrapping. :)

    I'm fairly simple.... a drink (water, tea or Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi). I do like to have some sort of background noise - tv show playing usually, but that isn't a have to have, a preference though. :)

    I need the following regardless if it's a digital, paper or hybrid LO.

    1) COFFEE. COFFEE. COFFEE. COFFEE. All day. All the time.
    2) Internet connection.
    3) Computer with access to the drives (either internal or external) that have my digital supplies & photos.
    4) Entertainment (music, You Tube, Hulu, Netflix, Audible, etc.).
    5) My planner with my notes for that particular day. My memory stinks. Did I mention coffee?

    Oh, this is me! I crave a silent house when I'm alone.

    1. Chocolate
    2. Potato chips (I kid you not. I need a certain amount of salt and fat in my diet and that's how I get it!)
    3. Hot chocolate. Or herbal tea. Or water.
    4. Silence! But sometimes I do play Southern Gospel in the background..
    5. Chocolate.

    fun question Jan :

    Mine is pretty repetitive of what is already mentioned:
    1) be wearing something comfy - usually sweats or yoga pants (i'm all about comfort -so this is probably #1 for me)
    2) coffee or water (pretty much all i drink)
    3) internet connection (have to be connected and browse TLP store/multitask when scrapping)
    4) my planner or a calendar - to remember what happened when
    5) glasses to read my journaling (also old eyes)

    sometimes i like music and sometimes i just like peace and quiet. i never watch tv while scrapping.

    Hmmm... I scrap in the (finished) basement after the kids go to bed so I usually have my phone next to me, my EHD hooked up to the laptop, an afghan on my legs, my giant old Notre Dame mug filled with Crystal Light lemonade on the table next to me, & the TV on to either catch up on my shows on Hulu or tuned to HGTV or Food Network for background noise. If it's a Friday night, then I'm watching a movie at the same time that I'm scrapping.

    I gotta have
    1.my silly 3x5 cards with photo description by dates, so I can pick what I am gonna scrap.
    2. something to drink
    3. a calendar
    4. I always think I will scrap better when quiet..but have found, having my boys doing school or playing on their games makes my mojo flow better
    5. used to have m&ms, but now almonds or cranberries to snack on.

    My chair (DS2 and I seem to share but he games at night and I scrap during the day)
    My water or orange tea.
    Silence, no music, just the hum of the pc and the cats' licking or snoring.
    My haven and happy place.
