I love to make time everyday to craft, but it doesn't always happen. Summers I find hard with my son being home all day because school is out, but he likes to draw and make things with paper so finding time can happen as long as I include him in what I'm doing - or just give him free reign in my studio.
Do you have the time or try and make the time to craft everyday?

I'm lucky to get in a few hours on the weekend! And I don't even have kiddos yet. Other things seem to get in the way, and quite frankly if I can get to the gym rather than craft I will take it.....don't hate me.

I do not craft every day, but I never stop looking at magazines, catalogs, online, and such for inspiration for my next project. I keep a sketch book that is full of ideas I want to try when I find time.

On the days when my granddaughter is here, I don't have as much of a chance to scrap, but on other days, I at least gather ideas if not actually scrapping.

Unfortunately I almost never have time to craft anymore (unless I sneak a few moments on my lunch break!)... I have been trying to sell a house and then moving for seemingly the entire year, so home life has been crazy! However we just moved, and I am currently trying to set up a little crafting nook in the new place - as soon as it's up (and everything else is unpacked - ugh!) I hope to have more crafting time... hopefully before the holidays since I plan to spend little to no money on gifts this year - I want to make, make, make! When I do steal away a moment to craft, it's usually sitting on the couch while the hubby is watching TV or playing video games, after our toddler has gone to bed

I craft daily. My best time is with the first cup of coffee in the morning. I go to bed thinking about new designs or projects. A day without crafting is like a day of rain for me!

Evening works good for me too. Crafty Canary, I hope you'll share some pictures of your nook when you've got it set up! Karen, I used to be that way - but I think I burned out my creativity light bulb!

I'm with SusanB, love going to the gym! But if I don't have time to craft I go in my little room and look at my stuff.
I go through fits and starts but I try to do some every week. I never stop look at stuff on the internet or watching shows on line. I really enjoy looking at other peoples work, I never stopped being amazed by other peoples talent and imagination.

I usually craft every day. Does sorting and organizing count? ha! Sometimes I just love being in my craft room -- looking at all the wonderful things I have to play with.

I have seen this question on every board I have been on, and still I wonder what constitutes "CRAFT". When I go to the nice and neat LSS's and look around, that to me is crafting. When I go to some junky, dirty, salvage store (which The Queen calls "icky") and find 50 yards of woven decorative ribbon ... that's scrapping.

If you put it that way, I craft every day! I am constantly digging through my stash, scouring the aisles of thrift stores and craft stores and junk shops for new finds, perusing online galleries and magazines for inspiration, brainstorming projects that I'd love to complete in that ever-elusive "someday" when I have time to do everything I want to do, etc. I rarely get the time to sit down and actually create something crafty, but I am constantly in craft-mode.

I craft almost every day. It is my relaxation. Since my kids are grown, I have a lot more free time.
