    Taking a break?

    With uncertain times and a growing number of coronavirus cases in our community, I’ve decided to take a one month break from scrapping. Other factors roll into this as well. I’m 61 years old as is my wife. She is compromised with a previous lung issue, and lastly, we are now caring for our five-year-old granddaughter whose Dad is a detective on 24 hour call. (Plus prices have been cut by half in our area.)
    How about you? Are prices or outbreaks affecting your approach to scrapping?
    And as always, I wish you all the best in your health and that of your family.
