My least favorite part is trying to get all of the pics organized. First I have to find the pics I want to use. Some I upload to Wallgreens and pick up later and others I print myself. Some I have to trim down and others can stay the way they are. The whole gathering and trimming of pics is not my favorite part. My favorite part is when everything is in place and I can start adding the embelishments. Kind of like the icing on the cake. It's at that point that I feel like I am creating something other than a pic stuck to a pretty piece of paper.
Share your least and most favorite with the cherries.

When my mojo goes missing! Also, if I go to a crop, packing everything up and unloading, just to have to do it again!
I love the finished project (especially the really great ones!), and showing it off to my family and friends. The sense of pride in having made this wonderful memory into artwork.

I love the finished product because no one else is a scrapper in my family and I enjoy all the oooohs and aaaaahs! I don't like having to put everything away when I'm done.

SHOPPING FOR SUPPLIES! lol.
Actually, I like creating with them as much as buying them. What I hate is the clean up afterwards!

I love shopping for supplies and my scraproom shows it.
What I don't like is that I don't have any sense of color coordination and so it really deters me from getting things done since I don't think they are as nice as what others would do. I need to get that block out of my head and just scrap since I really like what scrapbooking is - preserving memories.

I love the creative relaxation of it all.
I hate cleaning up after I've made such a mess!

This is a great question. Thanks. My least is the clean up and my most favorite is the entire creative process from that first inspiration to the final product. Guess that is what makes the clean up all worth while.

I hate hate hate hate hate creative block! When it hits me I get really frustrated and down, then I have to walk away for a bit. And lately I seem to be getting blocked a lot
But I love love love love love when I'm in the middle of a layout and all these ideas come flying at me and things are going well - I love the feeling of creating, and of course I love the finished product!

Creative block (all the time) and clean up are bugaboos for sure. And that feeling that my lo just does not look special at all. Blaaaaa. But, I love, love, love my dh loving me doing it. And shopping for stuff. And being here with you gals.

What I like least is cleaning up after a major scrapping event (like the online crops!) and also, packing everything up for a retreat or crop.
What I like best is when I page comes out even better than I thought it would ... that page that makes me sit back and go, "Wow... I made that!"

Least - moving my stuff to crops/friends, etc...
Most - Getting a page done and hanging with friends

The hardest part for me is dragging myself out of my chair and climbing the stairs to get to my scrap room. Once I'm up there I'm motivated. The best part is finishing a page that I like.

Starting the process is my least favorite and the completed project is my favorite part.

I love shopping for supplies and actually scrapbooking, I dislike feeling behind and not ever being caught up.

LOVE . . .
- shopping and bringing home all those wonderful new supplies!
- getting together for our weekly crop sessions with dear friends
- creative process of design for new LO
- to look at finished product
DISLIKE . . .
- clean up after a crop
- scrapper's block when I can not come up with any creative ideas at all! (Jan/Feb were pretty good for me. March .. not so much. Not sure what April will hold)

Most- Shopping for supplies, and the creative process. Oh, and looking through older photos with my mom (laughing hysterically over fashions-and my mom's hair
)- we did that Sat and it was so much fun!
Least- When my mojo goes on an extended vacation for many, many months (it's not fair that it gets to run away and have margaritas whenever, and I am stuck here having to work
) AND my biggest least fav thing is cleaning up the scrap mess...
