I too enjoyed craft day.  It's fun to see the new equipment and supplies.  One can get very carried away with all those products.  I have a friend who's really into it.  She has a "craft room" crammed with all sorts of supplies and all she does is make a few cards for friends.  You'd have to know a lot more people than I do to make this hobby pay for itself.


@Kachina624  IMO a hobby doesn't need to "pay for itself."   IMO a hobby is something a person does to pass the time in a way that he or she enjoys.  I didn't realize a person has to break even with a hobby.  A lot of my friends show dogs for a hobby and they certainly don't do it with an eye toward breaking even financially.  

Do others here think a hobby needs to "pay for itself"?


@Pearly  I don't even know where this thread came from.   Ancient history.   Of course a hobby doesn't have to pay for itself but if you have a lot of $$$ invested,  it might be nice.  People don't play golf to get rich,  except for Tiger and the like.

I think Kachinas point was that if you are making cards and have no one to give them to why bother?  I can understand that.  I also have a friend that has a craft room.  It can get very expensive but it is a great hobby if you love doing it.
