yikes this is scary but I'm jumpin' in

Ok...soooo....yeaaaaah...what to say?????What to say???? well I guess I'll post a pic of me!! Look it's over there <--------------------------------------------------- yep that's me taken a couple weeks ago nov 2007 My eye's aren't really blue they just turned out that way in the pic...!!! Weird Huh? I was getting ready to go to work that morning and The bush that is by my truck was flaming with autumn Color so I just had to get a picture or 2. Since I was the only one there i did the hold your arm out in front of you kinda thing.

So yeah this is me LESLIE.... I'm 33,marriedto Aaron(he's the best hubby ever) since 97,Child free,a scrapbooker, a crafty type person, a cat lover we have 2. Ozzie and Lenny, and the latest crafty type thing I've started doing is painting with oils. My grandma gave me a kinda crash course and then gave me a bunch of her stuff!!! I was totally excited!!!!


The first thing I did was look for a photo to paint and this was the one I used. I love the way the boys were sitting together looking out the door at the leaves falling. In the painting I changed the way they were sitting and the colors and shape of the door because..........well..........ya know.........creative license and all!!!LOL anyhow I was happy with the way it turned out. Aaron liked it too and he wrote a poem about it (cause I asked him to I plan on putting it in the negative space on the wall to the right of Ozzie)
 Safe inside

Behind this door we sit and spy,
As the world goes passing by,

We watch the dogs walking around,
We watch the mice run on the ground,

we dream of birds cought in our jaws,
and climbing trees with our sharp claws,

But outside it's a scary place,
and we cats like a slower pace,

So we sit and watch and keep our pride,
behind this door we're safe inside.

by Aaron H (my hubby)

Well I'm running out of stuff to say so here it is my 1st blog!!! what do ya think?

Wow, very inspiring. Not only a painting, but a poem too.

Nice to have your hubby join in on your art.

So I've been meaning to blog for the longest time but... I keep finding other things to do since writing is not one of my favorite creative endeavors. It's one of the things I push to the back burner. With that said I do however like the way this blog allows me to share parts of my life with family and friends who don't live here by me. So.... to the left the scrapbook page is my intro to our newest family member "Jeff the god of biscuits" Jeff for short! Isn't he just the cutest? He's definantly still a kitten because he is still a little wild man...I'd forgotten how wild kittens really are!!!LOL :) But he's also so cuddly when he's tired. Also there are 2 new "People" members or our extended family one on my side of the house (my cousin amanda's 1st baby)and one on Aaron's side (his brother's new baby) they were born a week apart. The picture with me in red is of my Cousin amanda's new baby Addison Kaye she wa...

the after christmas tales...

So this year for christmas Aaron and I got each other a new couch...LOL Dang it!!!!! I"m officially a grown up now. CRAP... how did that happen? Anyway we really love the new sectional it's so comfy and soft. It has recliners on both ends so it's very nice I can sit back on one end and read a book or mag with the little light the bends over me and the Big A can watch tv in the almost dark like he likes. It's a win win!! The curtains in the background I found at Pier 1 but I'm going to find a Red sash kinda thing for over the top and hanging down on the sides. The big green pillow will be covered as soon as I find the right color of fabric. I'm looking for a red. The color scheme will be Tan , chocolate brown, Red and A hint of Gold . I know you are saying well what are you going to do about the horrible BLUE carpet That totally doesn't work? Well the plan is to not be in this house for too much longer and all of these new things will move with us to t...

I've been busy creating today....

I've been very inspired by all things colorful and bold... But while loving the idea of oil painting and such I by nature can't really be comfortable trying to create a Realistic piece. So as I was visiting Elsie Flannigan's blog and then her Flickr site it hit me... I shouldn't even try to do realistic things with paint I should just stick with the cartoon-ish and whimsical things!!!Because those things flow out of me without having to learn a whole new style. Well then I went into my Room of goodness(otherwise known as my scrapping/craftroom)LOL and I got some acrylic pain ts and sketched a quick drawing then got down to it... this is what I made today.... A Big huge mess....haahaha...No no just kidding. Here is the real thing The picture is of me and Aaron and our 2 cats and the fictional house That we'll have some day soon. I used just regular acrylic paints like the ones you can buy for like 60 cents a piece at craft stores. It's painted on regular canva...
