Can you be addicted to scrapbooking?

Answer by  Sara89 (367)

Like any hobby or activity, a person can indeed exhibit addictive behaviors with crafting. It might be time to consult a professional if it is negatively impacting her life.

I think it's possible to become addicted to almost any hobby including scrap-booking. If your daughter takes care of the rest of her responsibilities, homework, etc. I wouldn't worry about the time she spends scrapping. Think about it. Isn't better that she does something creative instead of slacking off like so many young people? I say, let her play.

Unless it is causing her physical or mental harm (or detriment - make sure she eats!), immense enjoyment of a hobby is not an addiction.

Any hobby can be addictive. Scrapbooking is relatively harmless but you might want to encourage your daughter to spend some time outdoors and playing with friends. Do not forbid scrapbooking completely, but give her a time limit for it.
