From Genea-bloggers and Amy Coffin. Did you have any hobbies as a child? Which ones?
Some hobbies I had as a child have stuck with me to adulthood, such as reading. I loved Baby Sitters Club, Sweet Valley High, Goosebumps, Fear Street and anything by Bruce Coville, Lois Lowry, Judy Blume and Shel Silverstein. I also loved to write stories, which now tends to show in my blog posting. In my early teens I found out how much I enjoyed planning trips and traveling, another love I have kept. A big part of this is my enjoyment of research and learning new things, which, also in my early teens, led to my beginnings as a genealogist.
Not all hobbies lasted. I used to love making things out of plastic canvas. Although I haven't done this in years, my mom still hangs up many of my creations for holiday decorations. For a long time I collected and learned about Barbie dolls, but I haven't participated in that since I was a teenager. Lastly, when I was younger I was a big fan of video games, especially Zelda and the Sims. Now I haven't played a video game since the Wii first came out.
