Scrapping Buddies
 

Do you have pets that "scrap" with you? Or maybe just deter you from scrapping. LOL!
This is Coconut. :wub: She loves to sit on a blanket on my lap while I'm scrapping. She doesn't help much, because she "grabs" my hand lightly with her claws to pull it over to pet her :D

haha fun topic. No, my dog leaves me alone. My kids though... 4 and 2. I always try to scrap during nap time but the oldest doesn't want to nap anymore so she keeps pestering me until I get so fed up and get mad and then I stop what I'm doing. :(

LOL! I would consider young kids scrapping buddies, too! I was paper scrapping when my kids were young... that was almost impossible to do!
You know what always kept my kids occupied? Stickers!! Walmart has packs really cheap, and for littles you may want to take the backing off so they can get the stickers off by themselves (I did that for my grandson & it worked amazingly!).
Good luck! :wub:

Awww, how cute! No scrapping buddies here! Unless you count the "voices" on the radio! :)

As far as kids, mine are older now, so they are usually doing their own thing. When they were little, I used to have a section of toys by my computer desk. I could help my youngest and play with her some...yet she would have blocks of time where she was content to just play by my side so I could scrap. You could even try playing "school" with workbooks for her age. You can assign her a page or 2 to work on, while you work on your stuff. I think most of the time, they just want to be near you...even if not working on what you are doing.

Rotten photo but this is my scrapping buddy... when she decides she wants attention you are NOT allowed to do anything else but pet her. She'll put herself in the way of everything until she gets her fill of loves. :D

LOL! If my boys aren't here, I usually don't turn any sound on... Once in a while I'll listen to YouTube videos, but I think I get distracted too easily :D

I do miss having littles. When you're in the middle of it, it can sometimes be overwhelming & stressful. But, looking back, they were such sweet times!

I LOVE it!! She's so sweet! Vampire used to do that - sit right in front of my keyboard. Coconut at least doesn't do that, but today, she wasn't content with just one hand. She grabbed the hand I was typing with! It was like, "pay attention to ONLY me!" haha!

Thanks for the tips ladies. We have tons of sticker books and toys around the house. She just can't play on her own. She's starting to, a few minutes at a time, so I guess that's good. And when her sister is up, all they do is fight. The oldest just instigates and steals everything from her hands. Anyway... just ranting over here. I know this too shall pass.

This is Olivia. She likes to think she's helping rather than hindering. :)

She is so sweet, Carrie!!! She looks like she's a big help ;) :D

If you ever need a paperweight, I've got the perfect one! :p

I thought this was to set up "scrapping" buddies. I have a little buddy that likes to lay by my side or between my legs.

Hahaha!!! :D

Oh, I didn't even think about that when I titled the post :D I tried to change it, but it doesn't look like I can.

He looks very comfortable! Do you scrap with your laptop to the side?

I know, right?! I thought we were going to have regional crops!! :D

All your pets are cute! We have a small chihuahua, but he usually leaves everyone alone and sleeps all day. Now night time, he's my furnace and keeps us all warm with his snuggles. He also snores and sometimes keeps me awake. But as far as scrapping with me, nah. He's useless. Do you know, he won't even get a job and contribute to the family, especially for his treats!! Yup, he's a free-loader! :D

Cute! I'm allergic to cats :( - so this is my scrapping buddy- and by buddy, I mean she lays on the floor next to the desk & snores loudly! ;) This is Lucy Lou- our English Bulldog :)

Her face looks like my Milo..

Is He a boxer? They do have similar faces! Giant teddy bears! 😘

My cat will stand in front of my monitor looking at me like, "What? Were you trying to do something?" He leaves when he gets what he wants.

Hmmm do husband's count?! Mine just seems to always "NEED" me to do something, get something, or give him my attention for something every time I sit down to scrap. ROFLMAOOOOOO

LOL!! :D Let's do it!! Wouldn't that be fun??

Hehe! You chihuahua sounds cute! Especially the snoring. Coconut snores... it's pretty funny!

I can't see your puppy's picture, Amie :( I'll bet he's adorable!!

Carrie, your Milo is so cute! My oldest wants a dog, but he doesn't want to take care of it. That's why I have cats...they're pretty self sufficient. LOL!

Lynn, isn't that totally a cat??!

Kiana, you are so funny!! LOL! I suppose hubbies could be considered scrapping buddies. Or, maybe scrapping distractions! :D

Yes! We have two. Our little girl, Charlie, doesn't have the typical boxer snout though.

Hm. Maybe because it's from google photos- I'll try again:

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you for reposting this. She is precious! That face!!! :wub:

Teddy normally lays at my side but every now and then he wants between my legs so I pull my laptop a little higher.

hahaha... I totally thought at first, oh I'm gonna find some scrapping buddies on the east coast! LOL
No pets here.
But my scrapping buddies are my sleeping littles.... 'cause I scrap when they are all asleep on their mats in our playroom.

LOL!! I didn't think the title through very well! :p

I remember those days... treasure them because they are gone all too soon :wub:
