Hum...I guess my favorite hobby would have to be playing with my daughter Morgan. Its a fairly new hobby (she is almost 14 months old) but without a doubt its my favorite and the most time consuming!

My other favorite hobbies are reading, cross stitching, crocheting, scrapbooking, reading/writing blogs and photography - too bad I hardly have time for that stuff anymore thanks to my favorite hobby!

First of all congrats on your new blog. Both blogs looks so adorable! You did such a wonderful job.

Would love to win a 3 column custom design for my new blog.

My most favorite hobby is blogging;) And next to that is surfing the net, sewing,photography and reading.

I posted about your contest on my blog and here's the link:

What a fun give away! I would love to win.

My favorite hobby is a toss up. I LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking. I do it daily (multiple times a day usually) and am working on starting up a cooking blog.

I also love sewing. I do it to releave stress. I am not very good and I could never make a living doing it, but I love seeing my 3 yr old gush over her "pretty pretty" jammies.

I put your button on my sidebar and put up a post:

http://blondereviews.blogspot.com/2008/09/win-custom-blog-design-from-mommy.html

I would LOVE to win a design from you. Your site is gorgeous!

I had a custom design for my review blog before, but the person who designed it went out of business and didn't give me the photos (they were in her Photobucket account)

So one day, my whole blog was just Photobucket errors. :( Now, I'm using a free template but really miss having a custom design.

Thanks for doing this giveaway!

My favorite hobby is making earrings. It's a small time commitment compared to other jewelry, but very fun for gifts. Or me.

If shopping is a hobby, I like that one too.

I'd love to win this!

My favorite hobby is reading... Harry Potter, mysteries, romance!!! I also collect rocks and stamps.

One of my favorite hobbies is reading. I love to read almost anything. When I read it takes me somewhere else and I get to relax. The only bad part is once I start reading a really good book I can not put it down. I have to keep on reading until I finish.

Anonymous said...

My favorite hobby is anything to do with the babies! I'm learning more and more about blogging so that is definitely fun for me-I've been looking into a Blog Design because I've actually thought about going into a self-hosted site!

Thanks for a great giveaway!

My favorite hobby is improving my french. I have a degree in French, but I like to improve, and I also like to learn as much as I can about the french culture. I collect everything "French" -- you would be able to tell as soon as you walked in my house!

I could really use this for a personal blog that I've been wanting to start. Thanks so much for the great, great giveaway!

Here via Blondeblogger's blog, my favorite hobby is photography, done it professionally many years ago, but now just a relaxing pastime.

If I win this will be for my Blogger blog that I run along with my WordPress blog.

My favorite hobby would have to be reading a John Grisham novel. Though I don't get much time these days with a 1 and 4yr. old running around, but whenever I get a little free time, that's what I'm doing. I completed all of the items listed in order to gain the maximum entries allowed. I could really use a makeover and a fresh new start. Thanks for the opportunity!

Declaring a favorite hobby is difficult for me, because I have two favorite hobbies and to declare one more important than the other seems wrong. :) I love reading, and I love playing my flute. They both enrich my life, and I wouldn't want to live without either activity.

My favorite hobby is playing with graphic design . . . making buttons, siggies, tags, etc . . . It is a great creative outlet for me and when I'm done, I have something to show for my efforts.

what a beautiful blog! i heard about you from the turners.

it's tough to narrow it down to a favorite hobby but i really do love unwinding by cooking and baking. my thirteen-month old loves to sit in her highchair and watch me chop and stir so that has made it even more fun.

it's so great to see Christian moms out in force on the blogs these days!!!

My favorite hobby is most definately reading. It's my favorite because I get so little time to do it since I had these crazy kids of mine. And no, reading 'Alexander' six thousand times a day doesn't give me my fix. Oh, and a close second hobby is writing/blogging. Hence my obsession with redesigning my blog layout. I'm taking this contest as a sign. Your page looks fantastic!

oh and I did post about the contest and placed your button in my sidebar.

fingers crossed for myself! thanks!

Favorite hobby, eh? I like crafts and do them all the time but I LOVE training my dog! We compete in traditional obedience and rally in two venues, APDT and AKC. We've won awards and titles but really, I just love training and setting goals for us to reach! It really makes me smile to think of all that we've been through and how far we've come thanks to training and working together.
