Please introduce yourself, and tell us a little bit more about you and your blog.

Hi everybody! I am Amna Ateef. I am 14 years old and I am a high school student who is obsessed with crafting, music, tech, graphic designing and photography. I also love reading something knowledgeable and traveling. I usually mix and create music in free time when possible. Crafty is my first blog and it's all about crafting and things related to it. As crafting is one of my major hobbies, I thought why not blog about it as others do?

When did you start your blogging journey and why?

I started blogging from 27th May, 2014. I used to craft a lot when I didn't had any gadget in my hand or anything else to do. In the end of 2013, I joined Pinterest. I saw lot's of inspiring craft pins from all around the web. I saw many craft blogs. I looked at my crafts and said why not should I start mine?

What's the most challenging aspect of blogging for you?

I guess the negative reviews and slow progress of success of my blog on the web. Also blogging requires a lot of time and I am barely free. That's one of the major reasons I think why my blog looks emptier than it should be.

Do you have any blogging rituals (like following a strict schedule or making sure to procrastinate by going on Pinterest first, etc.)?

Umm no, I don't have a strict schedule or what so ever. I randomly get ideas or I get inspired by one of the ideas I saw on the internet. Then I make it up, photograph the whole progress and post it. I have a rule which is followed by almost every blogger: whenever I post something, I quickly share it across a large number of social networking websites.

What's your number one blogging tip?

Never loose hope. Patience is required in blogging because it takes years for your blog to become successful. Try to promote your blog content yourself if no one else is promoting it.

Besides blogging, what other hobbies to you enjoy participating in? Which are you most passionate about?

I have a lot of hobbies to be honest. Here is an incomplete list of
my hobbies:

graphic designing
crafting
sketching
painting
drawing
tweaking up the software on my gadgets and devices
video gaming
photography
listening music
making and mixing music
writing something helpful,
reading (not novels, something like encyclopedias, tech news, blogs related to my hobbies, etc.)
traveling
socializing (i.e. meeting strangers and making new friends)
surfing the web

I am passionate about, almost, my every hobby.

(Due to the title of my blog, I feel like I should ask:) Do you feel like you know yourself?

I think I know myself. But there is something I feel I need to grasp in order complete myself and my happiness.

May I ask for your [honest] opinion?

via Alrighty. I recently just completed my one hundredth blog design order [insert celebratory balloons, glitter cannons, and thrown pies here]. ;} And I was talking to my mother about this in the car, to and from the store. Basically, what she said was; "You've been doing your designs for a long time, right? So why don't you start charging for your services?" This got me thinking, and in my eyes, I feel as though charging for my designs would probably make me feel like I'm getting cocky, and too proud of my work, yah know? But I wanted to ask you guys, my honest readers; do YOU think my services are worth spending money on? Like seriously. If you wanted a new design would you choose me, even if it cost you ten dollars? I know most of it is just a matter of opinion. Every designer has their own way of doing things. Their own unique style. It all depends on what the "order-er" wants. I'd like to know if I have the capabilities of giving s...

Wake Up, Darling.

Wake up darling, it's time to rise. Sit up, stretch your limbs, and put a smile on that tired face. Tomorrow is gone, and it's a new day. Wake up darling, open the blinds. Open the window if you have to, and stick your head out. Smell the air. Breathe. Let the morning sun hit your cheeks. Ahh. A fresh start. Are you awake, darling? Get dressed now. Put on your worn sweater, and jeans, or favorite graphic tee. Decided whether or not it's worth it to find the matching pair to your sock, and if you'd like attempt to untangle that mass of hair on your head. Whatever you'd like. Now darling. Are you ready? Because it's adventure time . + + + Thank you for reading. <3

Justin -- Fictional Character

Justin. Sarcastic. Opinionated. Hot. <-- Yep, I said it. •-• * * * Hello my lovely readers. Today I'd like to introduce you to my fave boy character whom I invented. His name is Justin. He's the main character in my first completed book, The Memory Keeper (read a sneak peek here ). I wanted to share Justin with you because, well, I did this a while back with Zarek , and I received so nice comments about him. :) So I thought what the hey, I may as well share another character with them . :} So, yes. This is Justin. He's rough and sarcastic on the outside. But his insides are like melted chocolate-- sweet, gooey, and totally amazing. O.o Here's a little Justin snippet. I hope you guys enjoy it. >.< * * * M uffled voices ring around my ears, gradually waking me up from my sleep. Someone laughs when I groan and I roll over, shying away from all the noise. When I get the courage, I open my eyes, surprised by how dark it is. The walls...
