Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like.
Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones.
The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found. Check out these links to see:

Also check your change for interesting finds.
Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!
It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.
OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

Take up Chess. Being a girl you may want to visit http://www.susanpolgar.com/indexone.html and learn about the three Hungarian sisters who have been taking the chess world by storm. Very inspiring.
Photography is an excellent choice also because it is so rewarding. But I believe the darkroom may become obsolete soon because of the digital technology we have today. So, you may want to focus on computerized photo techniques instead of the darkroom aspect of photography.
Also, I would recommend Bible study. There are so many excellent resources now, Bible study can be very rewarding and a lot of fun. It's not usually thought of as a "hobby". But I've found that it can be very addicting in a good way. It may even tie in well with your guitar playing as you could help with your church's music program by becoming a church musician.
Good luck!

Candle making, cake decorating, jewelry making, floral arranging. Candle making and cake decoration classes are often offered at the large craft stores. Jewelry classes are usually offered at bead stores. Check your local community college for floral arranging classes. Community colleges offer quite a few craft enrichment courses. Call for a listing of classes.
