5. Hobbies and Interests Photography- I love taking pictures and editing them. When my third child was born, I took his picture, edited it and created my own birth announcements. I had a lot of fun and I became hooked! Scrapbooking- I have lot of fun decorating pictures and piecing things together, kind of like a puzzle. I enjoy making birthday cards the best. Crocheting- I have been crocheting since I was 9 years old. I have made just about everything with just yarn and a hook! Bow making- This is the newest of my hobbies. My daughter really enjoys the fact that I do this because she gets a lot of neat hair bows out of it. Reading- I am into Vampire stories and it all began with “Twilight”. Playing with my children- This is my favorite hobby of all time! There is nothing like a child’s mind!
