    Sounds like you've got a good selection of hobbies @Amanda111!

    You have reminded me about diamond art! I used to enjoy doing a bit of that a couple of years ago. I found it very relaxing๐Ÿ˜€

    What sort of books do you like to read? Have you got any good recommendations?

    You are making me want to go out and buy another one @Amanda111! I've recently been doing paint by numbers and I find that quite relaxing
