Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #45

I'm linking with two other great hops today and I've enjoyed answering their writing prompts for this Friday. My own hop doesn't have a theme, so you are welcome to link your family friendly blog below. Just remember to visit the last two links before yours and leave a comment and make their Saturday sweet.

Friendship Friday

This week’s theme is on hobbies.

I have lots of hobbies, but I don’t always find time to enjoy them. Ever since I started blogging, though, I “found” more time for writing and taking photos, which are big hobbies of mine. I also love reading a good book, watching TV and feel-good movies, singing, painting, scrapbooking and going on outings. I get cabin fever easily, so getting out and enjoying other scenery is a way for me to recharge my batteries.

I don’t know if I want to learn a new hobby. I used to have romantic ideas of learning to play the piano or guitar, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m not cut out for it. I found that learning to play an instrument felt more like work than fun and so I couldn’t find momentum to make something of it.

One hobby that I’m passionate about and want to pursue more is my singing. I would love to have a wise and encouraging voice coach to help me go further.

What are your hobbies? Share them with me in the comments or create a post and link it at Create With Joy.

This is me recording my very own CD.
I made a hundred copies and my biggest
fans are my hubby and Amanda. I was
in my last month of pregnancy with her
when I began recording.

Finish the Sentence Friday

I used to love...

...the feeling of falling in love. I read romantic novels and watched romantic movies. They moved me. It was my way of escape and building a dream that wasn’t a reality. I fell in love and now my hubby and I live it out. That is hard work at times, but it’s also very rewarding too.

A very interesting post Christina. I have also linked up with Friendship Friday. It is great that you can sing and the picture is beautiful. I hope you get to further pursue your singing. All the very best to you and thanks for hosting.

You look radiant singing! It's clearly something that gives you joy! Falling in love is such a short period. It feels great, but it's no fun to do over and over! I'll take the real counterpart with all its hard times, in a heartbeat!

Every once in a while I entertain the notion of taking up quilting. There's just something about a handmade quilt. Good luck with your singing. :)

walking through the woods to see what "new" creatures we would find. Now you never know what you are going to find which although could be a good surprise, more often than not is now not so good. It really is sad - we seem to have lost all respect for nature and others.

I'm sorry that your walks are no longer so enjoyable. With more people comes more problems, and this does affect nature. We see litter in our country, but thankfully there are many areas that are still beautiful and not polluted. Thanks for sharing!
