Summer time stamping?

[unitystampco]

I would presume that Christmas would be the time that people stamp the most...Do you stamp a lot in the summer? Do you like to attend retreats in the summer? Just curious.

I don't stamp as much from about now until the temperature here reaches about 95 or 100F....after that, I stamp more again until the temperature falls in September. (There are breaks in the summer like VBS and family vacation though.)

HTH!

[miamiscrapper]

I definitely get more done during the summer. It's hard for me to set time aside for my crafts during the holidays ; )

Actually, Christmas and the summer are when I stamp/scrap the most. I'm an elementary teacher, so school vacation times are when I have the most free time to stamp.

I craft all year. I usually do my Christmas cards in August. October and November get pretty busy leading up to Christmas so I do them in the summer.

Christmas is at summer over here, so I do both!! I have the most time then too, as it is the holidays and DH is home to look after the kids.

Autumn here now and getting colder and darker early so all I want to do is watch TV or curl up in bed.

I don't stamp as much during the summer. I love to be outside and we go to the lake on the weekends as much as possible. I do stamp a little but I get the most done in January and February. In Minnesota that is our coldest months. Its nice to sit at my workbench and create. It really cheers me up (lack of sun is hard) and the heat vent blows right at my feet.

I use the summer to design my Christmas card and then try and start making my Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cards. I usually have a "Christmas in July" stamping party with my friends. :mrgreen:

I live in MN and would LOVE to know about any events Unity is planning *hint, hint*

I pretty much craft all year long. In the winter I knit a lot more (for obvious reasons ;) ) and tend to scrap and stamp more in the summer. But that's just me.

I stamp more in the summer. We home school and so we don't have the time during the school year to devote a lot of time to any craft. So summer I do a lot of work on my days off. Yes, I work 12 hr days, 3 or 4 days a week, and then I home school on the days I don't work. Summer is for my pleasure lol.

I stamp all year long. Will be going to Stampaway in August with my mom. Great convention if anyone is close (Ohio). 2 floors of stamp vendors!

[cmg.sweet]

Where I live the winter is the only time it is really bearable to be outside, so I craft in the summer with the AC cranked.

[RiverIsis]

I stamp year round otherwise I would never keep up - actually I don't keep up if I'm honest - this year I'm planning on starting the Christmas cards ASAP! well at least the fronts... because a normally print the inside with an update of life for everyone:lol:

[stampinchampin]

I obviously am not as organized as everyone else. I stamp all year and try to do what I need one month ahead of time. NOT REALLY WORKING. I do try to start my Christmas cards early but last year they were out in the "nick of time"! I have poor time management. I have time to get stamping done but I seem to get distracted or just go shopping or lunch with friends and then nothing is done and I have to hurry to get a card done and in the mail.

Staying on here to much is probably my biggest problem!! Oh well!

[ashleyann423]

I stamp all year long. It's my stress reliever, therapy, all that! So yes...all year works best for me! And I think summer could be a good time to do retreats, night aways, anything!

[daisyboo]

I start to stamp less and less this time of year. I just feel guilty stamping when I should be out pulling weeds! Or we are in the pool. But once it gets dark, I like to start a card. It is not unusual to fin me stamping at 11 p.m.

[harley91]

I teach, so the summer is prime time. I actually leave my stuff out, so I work on things everyday. My friends and I try to get together once a week, instead of once a month.

[marymn]

I stamp year round. I usually do b-day/anniv. cards month by month and then when I have the time I stamp other things. Weekends is my best time right now (as I am a PreK teacher). This summer will be way different for me as it is the first summer that I have off in over 20 years!! What will I do with my time?! Hopefully some outdoor things- but I plan on lots of stamping too!

You will love having your summer off! It does go by fast so enjoy it to the fullest!

[marymn]

I am really looking forward to the summer off! I just hope I have the money to do what I want to do. I know it will go fast tho- after all it's really only 2 months!
