So everyone enjoys shopping and helping others shop.!! What other hobbies does everyone enjoy? I love reading, movies, making jewelery and other crafty things, and music. I know shopping is a given, but thrift shopping truly is a hobby for me, one I am always ready to do, I have told my friends, if they want to make emergency trips to the thrift stores, I am ready at a moment's notice!! I also like cooking, baking, reading cookbooks, trying to coax houseplants(mainly African violets) to thrive, and doing Yoga and Pilates.

Whew, do I sound boring!! Dont do the clubs, but do get together with our friends to eat at a pub or do bbq's. Lately we have been playing Dungeons and Dragons(geek alert!!)
I do a lot of reading, and my husband and I are big movie fans. I do Pilates and I spend a LOT of time with my family. I also have two big dogs that are a ton of work!

decorating my new apt. (limited budget so thrift stores and craft stores abound) painting creating things (i usually get so many ideas when i go into vintage stores that i come out all inspired to make things) sewing - my new summer hobby i'm taking up reading complicated books playing instruments - going to try to get good again and find a community orchestra to join yoga - gotta find a new yoga class i can do during the day since my evenings are now booked
I have so many hobbies and not enough time (or money) to do all of them!!
Jewelry design (it's a part-time job as well)
Interior design
Graphic design
Writing (fiction, non-fiction, ect--someday, I'll get a few books published)
Singing, dancing and acting (that whole musical theatre, triple-threat thing--this one has fallen by the wayside in the past few years due to my schedule as a retail manager. I'm hoping to rekindle this one in the near future as it is the one that I feel is most defining of who I am, probably my greatest talents.)
Playing piano
Art- drawing, painting, ect (who wants to buy art for your house, when you can just do it yourself??)
Crafts- if it's crafty, I think it's fun (making jewelry boxes, making Christmas ornaments, candles, ect)--one of my favorite childhood memories is making crafty things with my mom- I so want a little girl so that I can do crafty things with her!
Going to the opera, ballet, theatre, museums
Reading
Anything involving the beach (I really want to learn how to surf!!)
Volleyball (it's been so long since I've played, but I used to love it. I played court and beach.)
Entertaining at home- I love having friends over for dinner, cocktail parties or game night.
Oh, gosh, I think that's about it. Makes me want to run out to the art supply store and buy a whole bunch of stuff!!!
