    Scrapbooking and card making, making candles and cute jewelry. I too love to bake, but have cut back significantly!!
    I play WoW to unwind and escape from all the business of the rest of my life.

    Most are listed on my profile, but there's a ton of things I love to do. No wonder I have countless unfinished projects around the house........

    Things I enjoy: Camping, bonfires, hunting, fishing, clamming, grilling, shooting, exploring, making my own smoked fish, nuts, cheese and jerky, working on my truck/boat/house, snowboarding, 5th scale gas powered RC cars, hiking, mtn. biking, micro brew tasting, watching DIY/HGTV networks and cooking shows.

    I'll be participating in my first Warrior Dash in May, but I can feel already that there will be many more to come.

    Not sure they're necessarily all "hobbies", but they pretty much suck up all my free time.

    Besides spending time with my DH & 2 sons, my things that I personally enjoy are:

    1. Reading---I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read. And now that I have the Kindle app on my iPhone I am reading ALL.THE.TIME.

    2. Couponing & Price-Matching at WalMart....yep, I'm one of "those" people. Not to the extent of the TV show at all, but I love the bargains/deals that I get on our groceries

    Reenacting and blacksmithing

    blacksmithing is a cool hobby... Its on my todo list to try.. even if I only make a couple things.
    Ive already done some backyard casting, but theres something about beating a glowing hot piece of metal with a hammer into something useful that seems really manly.. smashing iron. lol.

    your avatar makes sense now too..

    I love sewing and knitting both, watching a movie with hubby and cooking. I hate baking for some reason, I would rather buy a sweet than bake it. I don't eat sweets that much anyway.

    Edited to add Tennis, swimming and taking nature walks. I thought they would be considered fitness hobbies :flowerforyou:

    I like to camp, fish, and hunt and spend a bit of time each year doing each, but my vice is by far motocross. I ride my dirt bike at least twice a week every week. It is my motivation to get fit.

    Applying to nursing school. Seriously. It is my life.

    Microbiology, Anatomy, etc. My motto is now "I can't, I have lab."

    BUT before I decided to do this to myself (haha) - research for anthropology, reading, knitting (I miss it!)

    My world basically revolves around live music. I'm always going to concerts. I also try to go to baseball, football, and hockey games when I get the chance as well.
