About Me

"Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look forward and say to yourself...Nothing is impossible." ~Norman VVincent Pearle

Hi! My name is Crystal and I am currentlly 28 years old. I greatly enjoy volunteering with non profit organizations.

I have two nephews which I adore. They are 6 and 7 years old. They love cars, Toy Story, legos, Harry Potter, trucks and all the typical "boy toys".

I have a degree in Recreation and Parks Administration with an emphasis in Camp Administration. I love being outdoors and camping. I also enjoy teaching in the outdoor classroom. I have been a non profit camp director as well. Ive tried many jobs/careers some didn't workout as well as others.

I've been having a hard time working lately due to the disabilities I was born with. I attempted to apply for disability and basically got told i have not case and there is not since in trying. Hmm I kinda need my eyes to work and that is posing to be more difficult.

My vision is going. I have constant double vision. This makes doing tiny details difficult. I am finding that it's getting harder and harder to do my crafting and jewelry making. I still try my hardest to do them but I am limited at how long i can focus on something. Because of this it's harder for me to keep up on my groups but im doing the best that I can.

In October 2011 I suffered from what we think was a herniated disk in my lower back which put me out of commission for about 6 weeks. I couldn't do much of anything for myself and slept on the couch because it was the most comfortable place. I am now all better and working to become healthier and tyring to lose weight.

Hmm...I can be the loud outgoing person at a party but I can also be the quiet shy one in the corner hoping that no one notices me. I have a very close group of friends. We all live across the country but when we get together it was like we were never apart. Actually I consider them more family than just friends.

I run a little Handmade Jewelry Boutique on Facebook called C. Cole Creations. I've turned my long time hobby into a small business and it helps some with the bills. I love making jewelry! Hobby Lobby, Micheals, and JoAnns are my favorite stores.

******FYI PLEASE READ****** I live in a house with two small dogs and two cats. I do everything in my power to insure there is not animal hair in/on any of my swaps, but life happens....the hair floats in the air, sneaks in envelopes and gets stuck in the glue. LOL
