Ok so I know we all shop, scrap and/or stamp but what else do you enjoy doing.
So aside from spending time with my family I also enjoy photography, cooking/baking and gardening..obviously there is not enough time to do all these things plus scrap..but I fit them in whenever I can.

Birdwatching - I just look through my binocs, but DH takes photographs (which I scrap later! ;D)
Reading - when I have time, I go through a book or two a week. Fiction, especially mysteries!!
How about you other Divas out there??? Gail

Taking the kids to sporting events, taking the kids to lessons, taking the kids to ballet, taking the kids to school, taking the kids to gymnastics, taking the kids to the pool, grocery shopping for the kids, shoe shopping for the kids? What other stuff?  Oh, I do quilt and I'm working on my photography skills! |

In the summer I swim alot. I love to sew and quilt but do not do these as much as scrapbooking. I also love to watch old movies.

And you consider all that fun?!? I remember those days..sigh..but honestly I don't miss them. Just the kids being that age.

Well, taking them places generally gets them out of my hair for a while! Some days the job gets old, but I truly like my kids. They are funny, kind and compassionate people who are fun to hang out with. Even the grocery shopping is fun with them because they only go with me in the summer. It's still fun to watch them get excited picking out their treat (they are allowed one treat and one treat only!) And they are old enough to truly help. But I miss the days when they were small. I would take one or the other with their Little Tikes shopping cart with a doll or stuffed animal in the basket. They had their own shopping list with pictures on them and they had certain things that they were assigned to find in the store--usually one item per aisle. It kept them busy while I did my shopping. DD had a doll that looked real and would cry. She LOVED it when people thought that Jessie was a real baby and she was a real Mommy! |

We spend the mornings on a screened-in porch when the weather is nice...reading, and watching any "critters" that happen by...from a lizard trying to slip under the edge of the screen, the camera-shy acorn woodpeckers chasing a robber squirrel, the 50-plus wild turkeys cruising across the edge of the yard, or the deer that literally take naps in the grassy area.
But on the grand scale, we love to travel...as in right now, when we are on our way to visit 3 young grandsons in Washington state!

I love to travel when I can. Sewing, knitting, quilting, cross-stitch, baking, cooking, swimming in my pool.
I think that may be all. Never enough time to do it all! So everything gets a little time throughout the year!

Michelle, hauling kids around sounds quite familiar. I have too many hobbies, and not enough time to fit them all in. Funny, but I seem to have time to shop for them all! I love to read. We have a great library to help with my habit. I love walking. I love making cards and crafting and stamping and stamps. I love fiddling around on the computer. I am always making goofy little movies of my family. I love to knit, mostly socks right now. I love new apps and computer/video games. I guess, I love hobbies! |

I am a huge geeky girl. Well, I'm not huge anymore, but my geekiness still is. Anyways!
I love computer gaming. That's how I met my husband even! If it wasn't for the computer, I would get a lot more crafting done! I also like to play various musical instruments, watch Roseanne reruns, play Wii and xBox, and bake. I hate to cook though. I also have always had a camera with me-I absolutely must take pictures of everything! I never made it out to the ocean this last weekend on our camping trip, but I took just as many pictures in the camper as I would have on the beach!
I feel like there's more, but I can't come up with anything else right now.

I love to spend time with my son for fun  , I have also recently gotten into photography, so i am trying to better my self with that. I love to hike and go camping (only in cabins LOL), Scrapbooking is my only hobby other then photography, so i love to do those things in spare time. Michelle, I love to spending time with my muncky also. Some people at work are amazed that no, i don't want to go out after work, i just want to go home and pick up my little man, take him to the park, or just sit and stamp with him  , sometimes we play cars. I just love spending time with him, he is so little for so long! Hugs, Mila |

I like to play computer games but not too much because you start on it for a few minutes and next thing you know half the day is gone. I am not into it big time but my favorite is Heroes and then Diablo and loved WarCraft till it went online..not too much into that. As you can see I am a bit of an antique with my games. So what kind of games are you into? |

Most recently I've been playing WoW and Rift, so I do like the mmorpgs. Then again, I can sit and play Slingo for hours too. I don't tend to play first person shooters or real time strategies, but hubby loves though. I tend to like Mario more than anything. Adventure, rpg, puzzle.. those are more my thing. I remember playing Diablo 2 when it came out for hours upon hours! I haven't played anything much lately because I wanted to focus more on paper crafting because I feel better after an hour of crafting than after an hour of gaming! That, and it's a better example for my already a gameaholic four year old, who enjoys being crafty too sometimes  |

I love taking them places (son drives now so him not so much anymore) and spending time with them. Daughter is my partner in crime- we have the same interests. They are teens and they still like me so all is good. Cindy |

Any chance of making a pit stop in Vancouver? |

I'm with Michele during the year....it seems I'm always taking my kids somehwere! Soccer, dance, basketball.....
But, I'm one of those who has to get in some sort of physical activity for my own sanity. SO, I: fitness walk, golf, play softball (during summer) and volleyball (all fall/winter/spring), scrapbook, shop, bake and coach soccer (both of my kids travel teams...whew!!). I read when I can fit it in between my kids/my schedules and LOVE going out on our boat with with the family during the summer (which is only 3-4 months in Michigan -- enjoy it while you can!!).
That about sums it up.....

Aren't hummingbirds amazing??? I love watching them. We have a feeder outside our kitchen window, and it's such a treat to see them! Disneygirl, bet you'd like watching other birds, too! It gets me out hiking around in parks and on trails, and it's pretty exciting when you see one that you've never seen before!  Gail |

We love watching the acorn woodpeckers that live in the trees in our back yard, and the deer that stroll through on a regular basis. DH sat on the back porch yesterday and watched a gray squirrel jump from a tree, climb down the bird feeder, and unfasten it so that it fell on the ground, scattering bird seed everywhere. (It didn't do a whole lot for the feeder, either, so we'll be buying a new...sturdier...one soon). The woodpeckers hate this squirrel, and usually chase him away...where were they when we needed them?  |

I love going camping with our good friends. Sitting by a campfire over looking a lake, and sitting in a fishing boat trying to catch a fish or two. I love photography. I take lots of pictures. |
