Reading, Drawing/watercolour, Music (playing and listening), Computers  , Cooking, knitting and cross stitch.

Some of this I do more than others, but they're all my hobbies :D

My favorite hobby is painting.  I love praise painting and the Lord is showing me a new concept of painting in intecessory prayer.  I also enjoy cooking and gardening.

Suzanne do you mix your own perfumes?  That sounds really interesting!!

No, I am very much into learning and understanding about notes and styles of fragrance...I find the sense of smell very compelling.  I tend to buy and sample different "niche" type fragrances, meaning that they are not found in dept stores, but by perfume makers from all over.

How cool!  I bet you run across some interesting people doing that too!

Smell is a powerful thing the Lord has given us, and I find it kind of fascinating how different scents can make us react!

Unfortunately I have allergies and many beautiful perfumes I can't use! 

So if you want to recommend any mild ones I would really appreciate it!!   

[tsth]

There are a lot of people who love "fragrances"...and also it is interesting how the sense of smell can trigger such scent memories.

Sorry to hear about your allergies.

I'm a terrible one to ask for a "mild" fragrance...my category of fragrance is strong/spicy/gourmand(foody) scents...so I'm afraid I'd be a terrible help there.

I could ask some of my fragrant friends though...do you have 1 that does work, that could give an idea of style you like?

Awww now, perfumery has various degrees of perfume. Everything from entirely chemical through to essential oil in base oil.
  I only know anything about the latter.
