I work from home and have a home office with a desktop computer. I use that for scrapping. But honestly, I'm in that room SO much that I hate going back in there to scrap. I have done scrapping on a laptop and it's awkward for me, but I do like getting out of my office.
If I had a desktop in the family room, I would scrap much more, but we have no place to put it and I really don't want that kind of clutter in there. I keep thinking maybe I could get used to scrapping on a laptop (and we do have a couple that I've taken over to friends' houses for scrapping) if I did it more.
But yeah, it's a dilemma.
Glad to hear you made your decision!
