About Me

"Hide your gold, The girl is crafty like ice is cold!" -Beastie Boys
"I can't give you brains, but I can give you a diploma." -The Wizard of OZ to the Scarecrow

I am keeping track of my New Year's Resolutions. Check it out!

I am a kid who was homeschooled (URM...Yes I got to wear pj's everyday to school, and I didn't have a prom). I recently graduated from college with a BA in Psychology. Soon I will start working on my Masters degree.

In my free time I like to make cool stuff , sing, dance like I am a cool, take pictures, drive my car all over OC, go to Disneyland and bug people while I pretend to be British... rel="shortcut icon" href="http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/441e177em7027c3e5/bc/Shar e/favicon.ico?bf.E_4HB94GuM5vn" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" / .. rel="icon" href="http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/441e177em7027c3e5/bc/Shar e/favicon.ico?bf.E_4HB94GuM5vn" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" /

My Interests

Being crafty (not crappy), singing, listening to music, sewing, making art, taking pictures of people wearing weird hats, hanging out with my friends, going to Disneyland, avoiding the people I know... (Just kidding, i think!)

Also you can see more of the crazy crafty stuff I make on my crafty myspace .

I'd like to meet:

People who are: creative, artistic, musical, intelligent, people I know but haven't found on MySpace.

Hello All! After years and years of crafting and wanting to start my own biz, I have done it. is HERE!

When I first discovered modern crafting, I nearly died. I found out that other people love being crafty and creative (Seriously! I am not alone!). Suddenly I could find ideas and inspiration every where. For several years I tried to share my ever growing collection of crafty links and ideas to the world on a site called JMesDIYLounge , until one day I clicked on to Craftster . My life has never been the same and my site only got updated once more since then!
