You might be a crafter...

...if you have more tools than your husband.

...if your hands look like a Jackson Pollock painting.

...if your philosophy on most things is to try to make it first, then buy it if it doesn't work out. (How hard can it be to build a pallet chair?!) 

...if your local junk shop knows you by name and saves things for you. 

...if you know exactly when the craft store  marks their Christmas items to half price and plan accordingly. 

...if your husband has stopped buying you "expensive" jewelry because you never wear it. (Who wants diamonds when you can wear handmade rolled paper beads?) 

...if you have a room of shelves filled with material 

...if you get excited going to the home Improvement store.

...if you have more scars than fingernails on your hands. 

...if people give you bags of "stuff you might use". 

...if you don't think 3 rooms of supplies is too much. 

...if you sell your work so that you have room to make more.  

...if your glue gun has a caddy.

...if you have had a bag of beads/material for more years than you've had your family pet. 

...if you get the urge to cover things in crochet or knit. 

...if your child doesn't want to throw away a cardboard tube. 

...if you have more plastic tubs/drawers than actual dressers in your house. 

...if you own more than one sewing machine. 

...if you plan Christmas presents at least 3 months early. 

...if you have ever uttered the phrase "I can make one really quick."

...if you actually post photos of your work on Pinterest. 

...if you made all your own wedding decorations. 

...if your friends send people to you because you "might have one" of what they are looking for. 

...if you own a Dremel tool. 

...if you have photos of Martha Stewart projects taped to your bathroom mirror. 

...if you have ever taught someone else how to knit/crochet/bead, etc. 

...if Girl Scout and Boy Scout leaders invite you to a meeting even if you don't actually have a child in the group. 

...if you get volunteered to do VBS crafts consistently every year. 

What would you add?
