What are your tips for fitting scrapping into daily life?

[DogwoodMama]

I've been digi-scrapping since 2005 (I think, I know my oldest was a year old when I started) and one issue that I have is that I will do it for a year or so and then I just feel like my life is too hectic or crazy or that I just don't have time to do it, and I will stop scrapping for a year. Really, this has happened 3 different times for me! (The most recent time was more a computer issue than anything- dh just bought us a new desktop and that has fixed that issue. )

I know that everyone here is busy, but obviously you manage to fit scrapping into your daily life. I'm just curious what works for you, how do you do it? My particular challenge is that I homeschool, so my children are around always. I find it easier to participate in things that take a couple of minutes (checking a messageboard, FB or email- especially things I can do from my phone so I'm not even on the computer). But when I scrapbook I get REALLY sucked in and want to sit and do it for 2-3 hours. And I'm having a hard time finding chunks of time that big when I can do it... at night my dh likes to be on our desk top, for example. (We both have laptops but are really liking our new desktop b/c it doesn't overheat or flake out like the laptops tend to do!)

Anyway, would really love to hear how you make it work for you, maybe there's an approach I haven't thought of!
