The "Create Alias" option isn't allowed for some reason when right clicking your home directory name in OS X.
The only solution I know is using a "Symbolic Link" which is a Unix command.
To do this,
1. Start up the Terminal.
2. Type
ln -s ../USERNAME nameofshortcut
Where USERNAME is your username and the nameofshortcut can be whatever you want, just make sure not to use any spaces yet.
3. EXIT the terminal.
4. Now go to your home directory and drag the shortcut to your desktop.
5. Double click it and it should open!

Thanks! Was trying to make an alias through the GUI but didn't think of doing it the old fashioned way :)
No problem, I'm glad this helped!
