Welcome to another TTT! This week I thought it would be so much fun to get to know each other on a more personal level. We’re all faces in books behind computer screens, but there’s more to all of us than books, right? I’m excited to learn more about you this week. :)
1. Puzzles
I love building puzzles and collecting the prettiest ones. They’re so relaxing and really make me happy!
2. Binging TV Shows
I love marathoning my favorite shows like Friends, MASH, Wings, JAG, etc. Right now I’m working my way through I Love Lucy for the umpteenth time.
3. Christmas
It’s a hobby, ok? I shop for decorations all year long and listen to Christmas music or watch a Christmas movie when I need a pick-me-up. It makes me happy!
4. Graphic Design
Did you know this is where the “artsy” in my blog title comes from? I’m a graphic designer! I love designing things for friends, family, and myself.
5. Animal Crossing
I got a Switch over the summer and I’m super addicted to Animal Crossing. I’m having so much fun decorating my island for the holidays, too. It looked positively adorable for Halloween and now I’m preparing for Christmas!
6. Shopping
I really, really love shopping. If I’m bored, I go browse online for things to add to my wish list!
7. Alternative Medicine
I find natural healing fascinating, and love researching and looking for new ways to feel better. I’ve got a lot of chronic health and pain conditions that have not responded at all to pharmaceuticals, so this takes up a huge chunk of my free time.
8. Baking
I especially like baking Christmas cookies, but I like making regular cookies and muffins all year! I need to star dabbling in bread. I’d love to bake bread!
9. Exploring/Traveling
I love visiting new places or exploring where I live! I love traveling, and I especially love going on cruises. COVID cancelled our two-week cruise this past May, which sucked. My mom, sister, and I just went on a drive looking for fall leaves a few weeks ago and I love doing things like that.
10. Decorating/Organizing/Home Projects
I love interior design, organizing and going through stuff to get rid of, and painting/remodeling the house! My family and I just re-did the family room and office during pandemic, and we’ve been going through everything and reorganizing and getting rid of stuff. It’s been fun!
What are some of your non-bookish hobbies? Do we have any in common?
Such a fun list, Jana! Love how unique it is, like mentioning more natural remedies (something my family has tried to do for years). Also, yay for organizing and unhauling stuff we don’t need. :)

What on earth is Animal Crossing? I also love Christmas and started buying new decorations last week. Not that I don’t have enough already….
Hallo, Hallo everyone,

Hallo, Hallo everyone!
Forgive my first comment – it went off without my knowledge – this is my actual commetn for today’s topic! I wanted to say, I went a bit rogue and hosted a special guest feature for an Indie Fantasy novelist. It was one of my favourite collobrative posts for the year and it was such a delight to get to know more about this series whilst in convo with the author and through the illustrations — all of which is being shared on my special topic for TTT!
In regards to returning to answering the prompts for TTT – I hope I will be able to contribute quite a few before the end of the year — I was recently ill (due to the loss of cedar trees) and it took a lot out of me physically and emotionally. I’m just starting to read, blog and feel chatty again as a result. That’s why this post was such a joy to share — as it was a bit of happiness for me to work on.

I totally forgot to mention puzzles! We don’t have room to work them or store them right now but I find them relaxing too.
I’m sorry you had to cancel your cruise. We love traveling too but luckily we didn’t have any concrete plans this year.
Great idea for this week’s topic. I loved doing it and I loved reading your list. I must admit that I never heard of “Animal Crossing” but that’s about the only part of your list that we don’t share.
Can’t wait to find out what some of the other regular bloggers have written. Thanks!
I binge on TV shows too. Good list.
Ooh nice! We share a few hobbies too! I even had a Christmas-related one! Lol!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I miss this kind of group discussion– there used to be so many more middle grade book blogs. Thank you for fostering the feeling of community! Maybe I’ll join you again!

Alternative Medicine sounds fascinating, as does the puzzle building bit. And I honestly had to google Animal Crossing :O. Yes, I live under a rock where all cool things remain unknown. Happy TTT!

I really enjoy puzzles and traveling, too – hopefully we can all do some more traveling next year!
My family recently picked up Animal Crossing. I’ve enjoyed it so far! I don’t get as much time with it since my husband and daughter are obsessed with playing every single Zelda game known to man.
We have several things in common including alternative medicine, travelling and organizing. I used to do a lot of puzzles back before I had the kids. I loved it and your post made me think of taking on this hobby once again.
I LOVE that you listed Christmas as a hobby! :) That’s so you. Also, you can make for me any time. I’m more of a cooking person than a baking person. I don’t know why they’re so different, but they really are!
I Love Lucy is my favorite! I have every season on DVD. No matter how many times I watch it, it always makes me laught.
I keep wanting to buy puzzles, but I know I can’t finish them! I also love traveling, although I really only go to Disney parks. :P

I love MASH! Such a great series. I had forgotten all about JAG – my family used to love that show, although I never really got into it. I’m always looking for clean, entertaining shows to watch. I’ll have to see if I can find it on my streaming apps.
Happy TTT!

Puzzles are a great one! I enjoy doing those, too.

Oh, and I would so binge-watch Mash. This makes me think of other shows from my formative years (older formative years) like Ally McBeal, Melrose Place, 21 Jump Street. I may have to find these. I wonder if they’ve survived the test of time like MASH, though.
I love baking too, and I should have added puzzles to my list! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Some of my hobbies are collecting bookmarks.paper dolls, dolls, books vintage articles and also magazines.,. I knit, do all kinds puzzles,jigsaw, search a word, fill ins, crosswords. I am learning sign language and Latin. I am learning to sew and crochet . I dance to videos of ,ballet,tap,jazz and Irish Step dancing. I exercise to Marie Osmond’s body gym.

I forgot to add puzzles and Christmas to my list. Last puzzle we made was over the summer at the Outer Banks. Thanks for sharing such a great list.
Also love baking and traveling! So cool that you’re in graphic design. 😊
Have to agree with the Christmas decorating and activities, baking, puzzles (love logic ones the best) and traveling. Great list.
Nice… I don’t have 10 myself – baking, making ice cream, and that’s about it. I used to crochet and do needlepoint and sew, but I don’t have patience for those anymore.
I love that Christmas is a hobby! I am also into puzzles, have you tried Liberty Puzzles? They are individually made out of wood and are beautiful.
I love puzzles, too!
My post.
