FF~ Favorite Non-Writing Hobbies

Yep, it's that time again. Another round of Friday Five is mine for the taking. And boy am I going to have fun with it this week. Let's see… my favorite non-writing hobbies. Yes I do consider writing not only a career but a hobby as well. Why? Well because it's fun. Why are you questioning me?


So what are my favorite hobbies? Well let's take a peek shall we?


1. Photography- I love taking pictures and I am not very particular on what my subjects are. Do I have a favorite in my arsenal? Of course I do.



2. Drawing. I love the feel of putting pencil to paper period. But creating smooth lines and seeing a picture form from those lines is pure bliss. (Unfortunately, the only piece I have is one that was done for my neice and is a recreation of a Disney print so I will not post due to copyrights and so forth.)


3. I fancy myself a baker when time permits and I make a wicked Baileys Irish Creme Cupcake oh and I've even made red velvet cookies which were quite the rave. This is truly an indulgence for me.



4. Reading. Yes you could argue that this related to writing, which it is in a way, but I read because I truly enjoy it. The eReader makes it easier because I can have an unlimited amount of shelf space, however truth be told, I will always buy my absolute favs in hardback if they are available.


5. Movies. Not going to the theater per say, but snuggling up on the couch with my kids and watching something they'd enjoy. Believe it or not, one can never see too much of Shrek if your kids are laughing hysterically beside you.



That's it folks. My Friday five. Is it coincidence that some of these are yet another creative outlet? No. Honestly, people are creative in their own right. Sometimes we just need to explore different avenues to let ourselves shine. What are your favorite hobbies, and if you are a writer, you must stick to my non-writing related formula. :) Have a great weekend everyone but not before you go visit my fellow Friday Five friends.
