About Me

  My name is Amanda (Mandi for short).

I'm: 21 years old,
       A Born Again, Baptist Christian,
       A small business owner,
       Native American,
       The eldest of my parents' six kids.

  I have four sisters and one brother. I'm like a second "mother bear" to them... don't mess with my cubs!

  I live in the beautiful state of California!

  I was Home Schooled from second grade through High School, 
                         GO HOMESCHOOLERS!
Some of my favorite subjects were Social Studies, Writing, and Government.

 When I was little I wanted to grow up and become a war corespondent journalist, a lawyer, a CIA agent, or a famous author.  Yeah... I had a pretty good imagination and I dreamed BIG.  God had different plans for me. Instead of fighting near enemy lines, the Lord has me defending the home front!

  I run a small jewelry biz called The Costanoan ( coast- an- owe- an). I hand make and sell all of my creations on Etsy.com.

  

I like to cook, read historical fiction, research herbal remedies, listen to my fav music group (The Canadian Tenors), laugh and sing with my sisters, debate (or argue) with my brother, watch old reruns of Survivor Man (Les Stroud...Way cool!), and shop at World Market and Pier 1.
