I'm just wondering what weird/wonderful/normal hobbies some people have?

I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I've recently gotten hooked. It doesn't have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I'm in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.
Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.
The coins that I don't want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my 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 I don't end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.
Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an "s" mint mark - they may be proof coins etc. There's always the chance of finding a real treasure!

I am absolutely addicted to scrapbooking and shopping for scrapbooking stuff. It is such a great hobby. You can make gifts of memories that last a lifetime. It is like therapy to me and a lot cheaper.
My other hobby is shopping at Goodwill and thrift stores and flea markets. You find wonderful one of a kind things.

I sculpt dolls & babies out of bakable clay. It takes a few days to get the details in but it's very enjoyable. I also repaint vinyl dolls like barbies, I take off the original factory paint and give them new looks. It's a lot of fun.
I also like dancing. I draw, I write poetry, I read, & I sew.
I just don't like cooking!

One thing I love to do is take pictures. I'm really into photography, the whole thing. I like developing my own film and then printing the pictures myself. It allows me to say that the picture is 100% mine.
I also love snowboarding, and dancing. They're both great exercise and really fun to do!
