I was just wondering what hobbies everyone enjoys.

I have a few.
In the spring and summer I love gardening. A day does not go by where my hands are not in the dirt.

I also have several large fish tanks that I spend time maintaining. Very relaxing for me.

I am also into photography...My camera goes everywhere with me.

I enjoy crafts including scrapbooking and card making.

Well those are my main hobbies.

How about everyone else.... What hobbies do you enjoy?

I also love to scrapbook and work on family rememberance items. I have a large family tree poster I'm working on for my living room and have little "my family tree booklets" which are given to individual family members with prompts for them to fill out in their own words. These are just two of the many family rememberance things I have planned for this year. I love to read so that is something that I've definitely be doing more of lately. Other than that I'm kind of boring.

I am a ghost investigator with a paranormal group. It's a very neat, interesting and fun hobby and something completely different from every other thing in my life.

Also, I like to work out regularly -- it helps to de-stress.

Exercise is my de-stresser. I also like to scrapbook, make my own stickers and emblishments, print out pretty fonts, etc. I also like reading and can't live without Greys Anatomy!!!

Wow great hobby!! You would enjoy my house. I have seen 2 ghosts in my house. The one I could see buttons and all on his shirt and all! My husband and I have awoke to the sounds of all the furniture being moved around but when we go to check it all is normal.. I could tell stories of our house for days.
our house was built in 1860 so I guess with the 9 different owners someone was bond to stay!!

What a neat thread! My hobbies are reading, playing soccer, and shopping with my mom and daughter!

I love gardening (ask Julie/Gemma about my tomato dilemma last summer, they were coming out of my ears) hehe... i also like tulips and plant about 1,000 bulbs every year… we have over 60 houseplants which is not nearly as many as I would like…

We also have a 120 gallon fresh water tank with mostly Angel fish and gouramies as well as a bunch of little ones… my favorites are otto cats… they are so cute! What kinds of fish do you have?

Photography… well, I am no professional, but I take my camera with me everywhere… on our 10 day trip to Michingan last year, I took about 5K pictures…

I also like to knit… did I actually say it our loud?

How funny we both like gardening and photography and have large fish tanks!! I plant all kinds of flowers and trees, I have yet to start a veggie garden (I will someday I am sure) I have built several rock walls and rock paths though my garden. I think I planted 200 different plants last year. LOL I cant wait to get my hands in the dirt!! Is it spring yet!!

I have a 135 gal tank with 2 oscars, one parot fish and a few silver dollars. I also have a 65 gal africa cichlid community tank and a 5gal betta tank LOL
lots of fish!

Do you play on a soccer team? I played in high school and loved it! I would consider playing now if we had a local team.

I really like the looks of discus! To bad my oscars choose who they let live with them LOL I may try discus in the future just not with my oscars.

Are these frogs pets or just hanging out? I have a worm farm lol (snacks for my oscars LOL)

the frogs are not really pets, they like the warth and humidity of hot tub and i don't mind them there... at least someone is using the darn thing... hehe...

worms, huh? i bet you are doing your own composting too?

[sarah16]

I do play on a team. We have a women's league with outdoor seasons in spring and fall and indoor in the winter. It's perfect, not too competitive but enough to keep it interesting. I have been playing on the league since high school!

I bet the frogs love it! I want to put a hot tub in but we need to build a deck first....too many projects not enough time (and money)!

LOL I have wanted to do my own composting for awhile but have yet to start one. Lucky my husband is a good sport because I have taken over the whole back yard. If it were up to be we would not have grass! Just one big garden.

Just jumping in to topics here to get to know everyone.

My hobbies include writing, reading (huge book worm), photography (shooting my first wedding this May!!) and some other things. I used to scrapbook but I've been quite busy in the past three years.
