About me

Introduction Hi - Leslie here ... I thought I would share a few things, to help you get to know me better. I am constantly trying to live a more simplified life, making time for the people that matter the most, clearing out the "junk" that wastes time and energy. I am old-fashioned and modern, serious and light-hearted, organized and chaotic, clutzy and constantly trying to learn something new. I hate being bored, always have many things going on at the same time; and could happily spend 3 or 4 weeks snowed in, in a cozy cabin, if I had a few books, craft projects, and a good set of pots and pans around so that I could experiment with new recipes. I will be sharing recipes, designs from some of my many craft projects and scrapbooking here, as well as lessons learned from some of my disasters. Did I mention that I am a clutz? I enjoy taking care of the people I love and try to make a positive impact on the people and places I share my days with. Hope you will find some interesting ideas and recipes that you try and share your results with me.
