  1. 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!

  3. 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.

    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!

    ReplyDelete
  19. 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!

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

  26. 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!

  27. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I added your button to my blog. Here's the link:

  34. 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!!!

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!

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.
