No worries FD, you definitely helped me come tho the conclusion! :)

Hi Forest Dragon, I think this little one is a cat faced orb weaver! Thank you for your help though and the suggestion for the orb weaver family! I had no idea!
I've been researching too. What about a "cat-faced orb weaver"? http://www.spiderzrule.com/catface.htm
Perhaps a Cross Orbweaver:
