Raven-Symone: How I Stay Out of Trouble

Raven-Symone: actress today, home decorating tycoon tomorrow!

The 22-year-old Disney star just launched her how-to crafting website called ravensymonepresents.com.

“When I was younger I used to watch a lot of craft shows, cooking shows — my favorite thing was to put stuff together,” she tells Usmagazine.com.

The idea for her homepage came together while out to dinner one night.

“I wrote down the whole plan on a napkin and went to my manager, [my agent] and told them about this,” she says. “It started out with just quick tips — how to get a strain out of your shirt — and now it’s grown.”

And that’s just the beginning for Symone, named one of Us’ Power Girls.

“My goals are to have a TV show, to have licensing material, books...anything to decorate your house with, whether it’s furniture, a craft book, ways to get your mind flowing,” she says, adding: “I have a five year, a ten year and a thirty year plan.”

The Oprah-in-training, named Ebony’s $400 Million Woman, also executive produced Martin Lawrence’s movie, College Road Trip (“I’m very excited about that!” she gushes to Us), and she has an album coming out in April followed by a four-month tour to promote it.

So what does she do for fun when not working?

“I’m a homebody,” she admits, adding that she prefers arts and crafts to the Hollywood scene.

“I enjoy that a lot more than running the streets or going to clubs because I’m stimulating my mind and keeping it focused,” she says.
