I think sometimes we need some upbeat threads here.

I thought it would be nice to see what everyone does for a hobby.

I love to pain on ceramics. I also love to get clay and make things for myself. I find it helps me to block out the world when I find something to pain. I just put on some of my favorit music. I like to ear headphones because then I only hear the music and not everything else in the house.

I have tried several different hobbys.

What does everyone else do or like to do?

I'm not very creative when it comes to hobbies, not good at art related things. So about 4 years ago I took up trading on the stock market. I really enjoyed it up until recently now its a pretty expensive one.lol

I also considering being here on the forum as a hobby it takes my mind off all the numbers that I deal with doing book keeping for my business and also helps me and allows me to help others.

I think that trading stock could be interesting. I have thought that it would be great to invest money, but I have no clue how.

A hobby does not have to be crafty, it could be stamp colecting, antique shopping. etc.

I used to rubber stamping. For years I made my own cards. I also enjoyed making ATCs and trading them. An ATC is Artist Trading Card.

I'm hoping I can get my stamping stuff moved to this house so I can do it again.

Be wise and dignified like the swan: he maintains his composure, staying unruffled on the surface, while always paddling like crazy underneath.

I tried to get into stamping, but I never could. I even have some stamps still and I use them sometimes when I am painting.

I have never seen any ATC. would love to see what yours look like if you can post one. I think that would be great to see.

I used to do ceramics and scrap booking but my hands just don't let me anymore. I really enjoy reading and doing puzzle books

I use to crochet but that is hard now, but I love to read. Around the holidays I make things. I have always gotten the kids involed and they still look want that, even thought they are 19 and 20, so we paint on wood and we cook. I just like spending time with the kids.
