I just stayed up last night or should I say this morning until 2:00am, then I made myself go to bed because I knew I had a lot of things to do this morning. Thursday night I had my monthly stamp club and after every one left, my daughter stayed until after 1:00am stamping. I guess it runs in the family. She probably would have stayed longer, but she had an infant and toddler at home with dad.
I wish I had more energy at night but I am an early morning stamper... peace and quiet and birds starting to sing outside... love it when the sun is coming up.

I'm a night owl also. Sunday thru Wednesday, when I have to get up for work the next morning I force myself to leave the Rubber Room by 11:30, but on the other nights it's nothing for me to be in there until 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning. If I had room for a loveseat for sleeping and little fridge for my wine, well, I could just live in there!
I stamp at night too, because with a 2 year old rampaging my house "after hours" are the only hours I have to myself! Of course, I get started and I'm too distracted by all the quiet to get any work done!

I love stamping at night too. Everyone is asleep, I put a movie on and just have fun. Can't bang away (setting eyelets) but I can do everything else. But we have a new baby in the house and I can't stamp at night BY MY SELF much these days. But he is sleeping more. But I was never by myself anyway, the cat ALWAYS came and helped!
Not me. When I was younger maybe. The only reason I didn't go to bed hours ago is that I am waiting up for DH to get off work. I prefer to get up early. Have fun girls.

I'm a day stamper, but since my time is 9 hours ahead of most of you, I'm stamping and cruising SCS while MOST of you are sleeping!!! That's why I LOVE it when the challenges get posted the night before---then I have all day to work on something, and get it uploaded before most have gotten up and seen what the challenges are!! Like now, it's 3:50 Sunday afternoon here--I've already got the Sunday FS challenge done--it's just 5:50 a.m. in the central time zone. When stuff is posted late morning on your side of the world, I'm getting ready for bed!!
If I didn't have to get up at 4:30 in the morning for work I would be a night stamper, I have to force myself to go to bed at 9 and usually I am just getting going on something. On the weekends I do like most of you throw a dvd in and just play! I work better at night (stamping anyway!)
I used to set aside 10 p.m. to midnight as scrappin' time. Now my kids are all in school and a much better time for me is 10 a.m. to noon. I do have lots of stampin' friends who are just going to bed when I get up at 4 a.m.!!

Sunday- Thursday, I'm in bed by 11. 6 am comes early. but when the weekend comes..........I tend to lose track of time so I'm up until I get tired. My main stamp time is every other Friday,(I'm home alone), and Saturdays. My stamp area is near the laundry, so it's good to be close by to tend to laundry. :-)
My DH goes to bed at 10:00, so I read in bed until he starts snoring, then go to my craft room until 11:30 or midnight, and then go to sleep. I try not to stay later than that (my little boys get up EARLY) but I get on a roll some nights and stay until 1:00 or 1:30...and usually regret it the next day, LOL!
I am up a lot of times, especially if I am waiting for a challenge to be posted, until 2:00 a.m. If I do a challenge, I get the card together and upload and there it is...the wee hours of the morning. Otherwise, I guess my best time to stamp is late morning until about 3:00 p.m. I don't do a lot of sleeping so I guess I could join ctorina's insomniac club and fit in really well.

Weekends are my stamp time....but not late @ night! I've never functioned much after 7:00 pm...just reading or TV or SCS. I admire you energizer bunnies!
Late is best for me, if only because the kids are in bed rather than climbing in my lap to "help" Granted, I usually trade the kids in the lap for one of the cats looking for an evening cuddle...

Toward the end of the day, I'm too tired!! I'm in bed by 10!! LOL...so I have to do it on my day off, or the weekend, when I'm refreshed, and have the energy to drag the stuff out. I've organized my stamping room, but I still can't think of an evening, when my brain is beginning to shut down!! Haha. Karen
I would rather stamp in the morning but with two little guys running around I stamp at naptime. I try to stamp at night but my functionality decreases the later it gets.
Night owl here. I can't relax to create (without guilt) until I know that the day is over, the 'have tos' are done (or it's just too late for the 'have tos'), and everyone else is in dreamland.

I'm a late nighter! Weeknights I try to go to bed though by 11:30 or 12:00 because 5:30 am comes early for work! Weekends I sleep in --God bless DH for letting that be my sleeptime! He goes to bed early and wakes early every day. It works for us! Those weekends tho--I will stay up till 2:00 or 3:00 to have fun stamping! I play an old boom box radio with great speakers all through the night. My DH calls me and our dog the rock n roll girls!
I'm also a late night stamper. I work full-time so the only times I can stamp are late at night after the kids are asleep unless I fall asleep as well, or weekends. Sometimes I can get on a roll during the weekends and get several things done.
