How many of us have written a list of all the qualities that we want in a man??? I know I have certainly written my fair share (several times as a Young Womens activity.) It occurred to me several years ago that maybe that practise wasn't entirely healthy. I mean, as we mature we gain a wider perspective of who and what will make us happy. I, for one, do not want to narrow the field of potential mates so much that no one will fit the bill. Now I am not being completely ridiculous here and saying that we shouldn't have standards but merely suggesting that maybe those standards should be more about what would compliment us and less about the man. Does that make sense????
Anways, as I was playing around on http://www.pintrest.com/ today (if you haven't checked it out yet you should but be warned it's majorly addictive!!) I found the following list that I can fully support. This is the man I am looking for...If you can't handle it you had best just move on because this list pretty much embodies me and all my dorkiness! :)

Crazy Crafting Lady!!
So, I have met someone recently who thinks it's his sole job to teach me patience. Thank you very much Andrew! :) Because of these lessons I have sought a lot of distractions and I have turned into the Crazy Crafting Lady. Right now I am in the middle of hand quilting a cute quilt but tonight I finished a super rad light fixture for my living room.
This light fixture was inspired by one I saw at IKEA but I convinced myself that I could make it for cheaper. The fixture itself turned out a little diffferently than the one at IKEA but I absoutely LOVE the end result.
So, 1 16" paper lantern, 600 coffee filters, 30 hot glue sticks, 10 hours and 1 blister later this is the end result.

The light hasn't found it's permanent home yet because I have to put some anchors in my ceiling but I am so happy with how it turned out. Go me!!!
