Hump Day Poll: Hobbies
My mom had a ton of hobbies. She was a scrapbooker , cardmarker, diamond art maker, slot machine jockey, bingo player, cross stitcher , occasional sewing thrown in when I was a kid to save money. She loved being creative. I also love being creative but haven't done much on that front. I suppose you could say my Etsy shop is about as creative as I've gotten lately but hobbies that become something you depend on money for, it becomes less fun and more job.

We buy the 3 - 4 inch containers and use some food flower and they bloom like crazy for the whole summer. Then when it's over, into the field they go and I recycle the little containers they come in.
