This might be fun! I smock - I've been sewing since I was 9 and I love to smock little dresses for my girls and now my granddaughter. I sell one or two a month which I just turn around and buy PC with!!! LOL. I love to garden, I love to decorate. We are near the beach and that is my other favorite thing to do....I am so ready for spring!
 
Hi Cindy,

I'm a big scrapbooker! Been doing it going on ten years now - I love to see my photos come to life on a page and I put a lot of journaling on them as well. My kids love looking at themselves as babies and I enjoy reminiscing as well. I don't work on them all the time but when I do I really enjoy it.
 
I do plastic canvas. You know, the tissue box covers and stuff. I usually do it for Christmas presents for the family.

Cindy, do you have any pictures of the smocks? My daughter is 17 months olds and I would love something like that for her. Thanks!
 
I love scrapbooking though I havent done it in awhile thats about it lol dont really have that much down time with the kids

Hi Heather - they are not "smocks" they are little dresses with smocking on them which is like embroidery - pictures and designs. Here is Taylor at the beach in her Christmas dress.

I love to make greeting cards, gift bags, gift tags...anything I can put a rubber stamp on! I just hosted a Stampin Up workshop and I'm gonna get lots of stuff!

I would also love to run a marathon or half-marathon one day, but right now, with the kids, it's too big of a commitment for me! I used to run in high school and college, but I haven't done it regularly in a VERY LONG TIME...
 
All paper crafts. Scrapbooking, card making, gift bags etc. I have not had as much time as I would like but I just started a scrapbook group as part of our women's ministry team at church so I will be making time to do more. We're meeting once a month from 6-midnight on a Friday. Of course since I spend so much time socializing I may not really get a whole lot done :D.
 
I am a scrapbooker too! I have been scrapbooking since I was 16 and love to see my kids amazement over my pages! If I liked CM stuff I would sell it, but I only like the organizing stuff and not the papers and stickers!
 
Long but it's me:)I love sports. The Dodger's are my favorite. My daughter's and I frequent the games. As I child I never missed a Dodger game. Now I get to pass it on to them. My boys and I used to go to all the "Kings" Hockey games. :( There in college now. I miss them. I love the finished product of scrapbooking but never have the time. My daughter made me a Beautiful family album with the help of her Grandma they snuck pictures out of boxes. What a great Christmas present it was.:D I love to Cook for others also. I am in Culinary School so I may be a True Pampered CHEF. Woohoo it's so fun cooking for the Bistro on Thursday nights.:)
 
Even that this age, I still play with cars. (See the link below.)I'm also a sports fan. My favorite two teams are the Green Bay Packers and whoever is playing the Bears. Come Spring, it'll be GO BREWERS.And with any luck at all, I'll get my '61 Triumph TR-3A running.

Wow Sonja is a real beauty. My dad was a Ford man through and through. He poopoo ed anything But a ford.
 
The only hobbies I had, I've turned into a business...LOL. I am, was, an avid scrapbooker and a pretty good cookie baker. So I combined both and voila! I scrapbook cookies. As soon as I get some pictures I will post. I also have this obsession with 1940's-50's pinup...you can see that on my OTHER website...lol. :p
 
I love to snowmobile and downhill ski in the winter, and hang out at my grandparents camp (on the lake) in the summer...riding jet skiis, waterskiing, bon fires, and just lounging around! Oh, and I enjoy traveling anytime of the year!!
 
I sew (made the outfit I have on in my avatar) and crochet. Read. Sudoku puzzles. Car club. Occasionally, I work on a scrapbook or two, but I haven't pulled out that stuff in over a year (and I need to finish the book of my Italy trip).There are pics of me in my last two Halloween costumes that I made (Carmen Miranda in 2006 and a Renaissance lady in 2005) at www.michiganlcoc.org/gallery/Halloween2006 and www.michiganlcoc.org/gallery/Halloween2005. (Darth Vader is my DH.)
 
I love to cross stich but haven't done if for awhile. I have made presents for Christmas and weddings by doing that. I haven't done it in awhile. My life right now is so busy that I sometimes feel like I don't know which direction to go. My two boys are ages 5 & 3 and they are my life right now. My oldest is in kindergarten and he is starting basketball practices and other activities and the 3 year old is just a hand full.
 
I love to scrapbook although I have really fell off doing it. I have tons of pictures just sitting in the closet waiting on me! I am going to school for Interior Design and designing kitchens and baths is my passion. I love to go to Sears, or log on the the Wolfe website and just drool..lol. We also own a supercharged 94 Mustang Cobra that keep us broke and busy! Over all of that though I would have to say my main hobby is my 4yr old daughter, she goes full throttle from sunup to sun down!!Oh, I forgot to add I'm trying to take more time for myself now days and am finding that I LOVE LOVE LOVE to bake, and I kick butt at it!! GO ME! LOL!
 
I make jewelry. It really is a great de-stresser for me.

Dog walking, with Enzo the wonder Golden.

Food... cooking, eating, talking about it, reading about it, playing with it.. well, you get the idea.

Trash romance novels, bad golf, volunteering.

And, oh yes, napping!

See how well rounded I am!!
 
I love to scrapbook! It's been a while since I've had the time, but when I get going, I can't stop!

I also love to travel... it's my goal to fill my passport before it expires... have 5 years and halfway to go :)

Cooking is a huge passion of mine. Doing the plate presentation and decorating are the times when my creativity gets to come though!

I love to organize. It makes me happy when I get help someone be productive and declutter a part of their life.

Napping would be my most prevalent hobby lately... as I try and try, but never have enough time to do it :)
 
I wish I had more time for hobbies. I don't have too many b/c of all the running I have to do with an active daughter. I guess my main hobby would be finding time to be here on CS! LOL!!!
 
Ann- I also LOVE sudoku puzzles and actual called my santoku knife a sudoku knife at a show! I said it multiple times before someone chimed in and corrected me. I felt like an itiot! I thought those things were supposed to keep you sharp!
 
I taught myself to crochet last year, and I love doing that. I lovelovelove movies, so my husband and I watch them on DVD or go see them in theatres as often as possible. I also love to watch good TV (and bad reality shows), read, eat, and listen to music. My husband and I took Carolina Shag Dancing classes last fall, and so now we love doing that as much as possible. I'm also very active with The Sweet Potato Queens, and go to Jackson every year for the Million Queen March.
 
Let's see....ALL ABOUT JILLEYSUE
ORGANIZING-Surprise Surprise..Decluttering as well is sooo much fun!!!
4-WHEELING-We Have 5 of them and go on trips to various camps. It's great
SHOP, SHOP, SHOP!!!!!!
EXERCISE-Use to be a PERSONAL TRAINER, So this is really a Stress Reliever
JETSKING-SNOWMOBLING-Anything Fast
GIRLTIME-Drinks, Pedicures.
TRAVEL-Vegas, The Keys, Maine
MOTORCYCLE RIDES-Have my own, (Suzuki 750) but haven't been out in a while. Florida drivers are crazy. Too many people end up like a pancake.

I really love photography, but I find that I take too many pictures and don't do anything with them, so I need to ORGANIZE them first before I take anymore...LOL

AND NOW...I have ADDED PAMPERED CHEF to my passions....oh and obviously...CHEF SUCCESS...hehehehe

That is in the Organizing category silly.!!!!!:p
 
You don't really want me to break down these cateogories do you????? LOL
 
Hey- if you label like I do it deserves it's own category!!
 
hahaha!!! No doubt right.
 
Wow, Ann, you are really a talented seamstress! I like to sew as well, but all I ever make is flannel pants and totebags. I've made a few purses, but nothing too fancy. I suppose if I put my mind to it, I could make something nicer...I just don't have the patience!

I love most all kinds of crafts, really. I knit (again only simple stuff, no sweaters here!) and cross-stitch and have dabbled with melt and pour soap and candles. I haven't gotten into paper crafts, because I'm afraid of how much money I will tie up in the supplies!

I love to swim, bike, and run! I've done quite a few triathlons and one marathon. I'm running the Chicago marathon in October, so I'll be doing a lot of running in the upcoming months! We also like to go camping and hiking in Colorado every summer. That's a lot of fun and so so beautiful!
 
I commend you all that run marathons!! I can barely get up my stairs even when I am not pregnant.

I am a walking billboard for "skinny does NOT equal in shape!!!"
