My Hobbies

With everything that I have going on in my busy schedule these days, I am finding it hard to make time for my hobbies. I hope that it's not always like this because I really do enjoy my hobbies and just having some "ME" time. So I decided to make myself set aside time for my most favorite hobbies. Those are reading, watching dvd's and baking. I love to read when I'm all snuggled in bed. It helps me relax and go to sleep. I just got a new television in my room with a dvd player. So now I split my time between reading at night and watching dvd's at night. Both help me relax. These hobbies were easy to fit into my busy schedule with college and work.

The hardest hobby to make time for is baking. That would be because it takes more time to bake. I have to actually schedule a day to do that. I love to bake desserts. My favorite thing to make is cakes. I love to bake and decorate specialty cakes. I  have done several birthday cakes for all my family and friends. I even made my own graduation cake. So I had to force myself to make time this last weekend to make another birthday cake for my mom's friend. I found this really cool picture of a cake made to look like the candy land board game. It looked like it would take forever to decorate. I decide to improvise and try to create some short cuts. I did most of the decorating with different candy pieces. I was so surprised how cool it looked and how much faster it was. I used gumdrops, licorce strings and different colored sticks of gum to make most of the board. I was able to make my mom happy and have fun doing my most favorite hobby.
