Is There Anything Else?

My hobby? Well that's an easy one. Scrapbooking. Oh, but I'm supposed to be writing about a hobby other than digital scrapbooking. How about paper scrapbooking?! I love to do that too! I never had a long-term hobby before scrapbooking. Before it I would take up something new but give it up almost as quickly. Oh, but that's still scrapbooking so can't really talk about it either. Hmmm… other than scrapbooking?? Is there anything else?Well…. I get into reading sometimes. My family and friends would say I get obsessed. I can read the same book over and over again, but only with a good series. I love how reading takes me on adventures far from here. Let's me meet imaginary people I would never have the opportunity to in real life. Gives me a temporary escape from reality. Does reading count?Oh, and I do make beaded Christmas ornaments too. My Grandma had some cute little beaded Christmas ornaments when I was a little girl and I always wanted to make some. I found some really incredible kits through the Cracker Box that are just divine! I've made several over the years, but each one takes 20 to 25 hours. So I don't make them often. I like listening to music, does that count as a hobby? I like every kind of music (okay, not really bluegrass but just about everything else). I like pop music from all over the world, I love classical and jazz. Love hip hop (no pottymouth please), Christian and some country. But I'm a rocker at heart. I like to dance, but I don't suppose that is a hobby since most of my dancing takes place in my living room. But I do go to a few dance exercise classes. I used to love to go dancing every weekend. Now my kids beg me not to embarrass them by leaving the curtains open. So I mostly dance during the day while they are at school and I'm doing housework. Oh, I almost forgot! I love yoga too. I started doing yoga and tai chi about 20 years ago. I haven't kept up with tai chi (one of these days I'll start up again) but I try to go to yoga at least once a week. Yoga keeps me balanced and stretched out.I guess you could say I have several hobbies, but none of them really compare to the hobby that I spend hours on each week. The hobby that I love to do and love to teach to others, the hobby that I can do and make love-filled gifts for family and friends. The only hobby that has captivated me for years, and shows no signs of letting up….
