12 Signs That You Are a Little Too Obsessed With Crafting
Craft-o-maniac

If you're like me, you probably spend time every day thinking about how your life could be improved, but somehow, for me, it normally involves crafting.

Here are some things that every crafting addict has experienced.


1. The, "I'm just going to check Pinterest for a minute," that somehow turns into hours of you lying in bed with at least two new boards.


2. The answer to, "So, what are your hobbies?", is really easy.



3. You never go to Michaels or Joann Fabrics without a coupon (even though everyone hates the custom framing one.)



4. You can't sleep so you decided to go on Pinterest. That then leads you to having an idea and then, before you know it, you're surrounded by two completed canvases and the sun is rising.



5. You hate yourself for judging subpar crafts but you just can't help it.



6. When someone offers to craft something for you, you're on edge until the moment they give it to you.



7. You see something on Pinterest that seems out of your ability, but you try it anyway.



8. Somehow, you have the smart idea of starting a new show while crafting which just creates a downward spiral of consumption and production.



9. You walk down the pre-made craft aisle in Michael's thinking, "I could make this for SOOOO much cheaper."



10. You've gotten to the point where, if you do not finish a craft in one sitting, you feel like a failure. However, that isn't an excuse for it not being perfect.


11. You love the fact that it saves you money after you spend hundreds on the initial materials.


12. But, one thing is for sure. Even if you have to defend your love of crafting, whatever you make is going to turn out great.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
