I try to stamp something every day now that I'm trying to post something new in my blog each day. It keeps me motivated and gives me a great reason to leave my stamping paraphenalia out! That, and it's a great excuse to come here and check out the latest cards or read up on new technique I've not tried.
It also really helps now that I have a more permanent craft area, so I'm not having to clear everything away to put a meal on the table.
I try to stamp every day but sometimes life just gets in the way of that goal. :? I definately find time to stamp at least 4-5 days a week even if it just a 1/2 an hour at a time. I have to justify all the money I spend to my husband some how. :oops:
I was getting in about once or twice a week, now I try to do something every day. So I'd say I average at least 5 times a week now. Even if it's just one 6x6 layout...at least I did something.
I do "blitzes" Some weeks its a little everyday and sometimes it ALL day on Sunday watching football!
really depends on my mood.
As I am not a demo - I don't HAVE to create everyday.
BUT
My hubby always knows when I need "a fix" and HE will pull out my Cardtable and set me up and let me get my "Rubber Therapy"!!!
I even have him trained - should he bring me a beverage to NEVER put it on my work table!!! :P
This weekend is a STAMP weekend! Its been a couple weeks that I ahve had a "block of time".
I thought with my oldest in school FULLtime taht I would get more time - NOT - my 4yo misses her Bubbie and want to engage me. Last time I had her stamp I got Rose Red smack in teh middle of my Pos Pink - at least it wasn;t black!!! But MAN does she have a reach!!!! More like Gumby arms!
I try to at least 4 to 5 times a week. My husband just sees all my stuff multiplying and I have to justify it some how. Doing child care can really get your nerves rattled so it is my way of relaxing at the end of a long day,
When I first started stamping (about 1 1/2 yrs ago...wow! It's been THAT long?) I stamped daily. When I'm not having a creative block (like I am now) I try to stamp Friday night and Saturday. Evenings are too hard as I am so tired by the time my son goes to bed at 9:00!
it depends - some weeks 3-4 times per week - other weeks more, other weeks less - I usually can't stamp until my kids go to bed - I have everything out in the open in the cornor of my bedroom but they have never "seen" me stamp so they don't know what magic all those stamps have in them - they also know the stay away from "mommys markers" (i.e. my sharpies) so if I am not tired I usually end up doing something for a little while - some nights it is 15 minutes other nights it could be 2 hours - depends on what I am working on.

With winter coming I am going to stamp lots more. Right now I get in my craft room a couple times a week. The problem with me is when I am in my craft room I never leave and nothing else gets done.. I am sure none of you have that problem. LOL
I have standing stamping dates on Wednesdays and Thursdays with two of my friends. I try to do some on the weekends too while football is on. For some reason, I love that as a background noise.
I try to stamp or do some sort of related activity whether it be cut, color, etc...at least everyday even if it is only for 5 or 10 minutes. That is my special time and I find it to be so helpful to escape the everyday hustle of being a working mother of 3 school aged children.

Well, since my stamp room is more organized I have been stampin about 4x a week. I have given up Sunday as my nap day and started stamping all day and scrapbooking the summer vacation!
I usually get some time to stamp 3-4 days. Usually in the afternoon just before the kids get home or after the kids are in bed. My husband is really good about letting me stamp whenever. I have a stamping table all of my own in the livingroom. I really like it there so I can be where everyone else is.
Stamping? My dining room table looks like I stamp every day .... but the truth is closer to little bits of about 3 days per week. Hmmmmmmm, if I could move the computer next to a good stamping area, that could be very helpful!!
This danged job... just gets in the way of having time for stamping... what
a conundrum... have to work to pay for stamps.... but then there's not
nearly enough time left for stamping. what to do... :?
But I do try to at least go sit in my stamp room every day
