Default When do you get to stamp?

I have just started working overnights again and I am trying to figure out when I willl get a chance to stamp again? I work 8pm to 5:30 am and have 2 little kids once school starts I maybe can do something in the am, but I am exhausted at that point.

Any good suggestions?

Wow, sounds like you are super busy. I have 6 children (all grown) when they were little my craft time was from 9-midnight but I didn't work. Maybe you can dedicate an hour or two to crafting on your day off. Kids grow quickly, stamping will still be here when you have time. Good luck.

I work full time, and summer activits, sport activities and all that good stuff sometimes keep me away, but I try atleast once a week to start on some cards and through out the week little by little work on some projects. My kids are 13 and 11 where I dont have to be so much in back of them anymore but still its hard at times. I usually craft in the night where everyone is in their rooms and can have atleast an hour

Whenever I can. I work full time and am a competitive cyclist. A lot of my free time is taking up by my training and racing schedule, and then I cram my errands and grocery shopping into the one night a week I'm not scheduled to work out.

My card time is fit in there somewhere. Sometimes I have time in the evenings before bed. Sometimes I have an hour free on the weekends. Sometimes weeks go by and I can't find the time. I don't sweat it.

What if you put together a kit ( it would include a certain stamp set, papers, embellishments, tools you need and a theme (birthdays, holidays)). Cut your papers and ribbons. Package it up and put it in a box and label what's in it. That way when you had an half or hour you could create something. Hopefully that can be helpful to you.

I work overnights, but I work 3 12 hour shifts. No crafting gets done those days or my first night off. I try to take 1-2 hours on one of my days off to craft and it's usually done late at night. It will be easier for you when the kids are in school. Hope you can find some time.

I was laid off three months ago...so aside from looking for work and being here..I can stamp anytime I want. My boys are all grown and on their own and hubby travels Monday thru Friday every week for work.
blessings.
