Leslie Ashe is new to our team this year, so we are excited to show off her fun projects with you! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
.......................................................................................
Hi there, everyone! I’m Leslie Ashe & I live in Fort Worth, Texas (home of the Stockyards, the best Tex Mex ever & some serious HEAT!) with my husband, Alan. We’ve been married 21 years (yes, I started young!)
- My newest accessory, my iPhone is attached to me at all times. I can’t put it down! It’s an addiction. My guilty pleasure, that’s for sure!
- I was a preschool teacher for many years. I LOVED teaching then...it was such fun. My kids went to the same preschool and later would come help me with my class. I loved those days!
- I met, fell in love & married my sweet husband 21 years ago & he still makes my heart skip a beat! Not a lot of people know this but he moved from beautiful California to Texas...just for me.
- Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t name my daughter Savannah because of the movie “Savannah Smiles”. I had a totally different name picked out actually, then while driving through Georgia, it hit me...and stuck!
- I’m a HUGE book junkie. I love book stores, I love the smell of books, I love reading. when I’m not scrapping, that’s what you’d find me doing. Curled up with a good book in my fave chair.
- Starbucks is my downfall in any season. (just give me a non fat, no whip, caramel frap or a passion tea lemonade & I’m a happy girl.) The smell in there is divine!
- Even though I’m blind without my glasses, I’d never have lasik done. I live for cute glasses...I know, weird!
I became HOOKED. I’ve actually been doing it my whole life, being inspired by my mom at a young age. I used to watch her take our photos and put them in memory books. She’d tell me all the stories of each picture and what it meant to her. Through the years, I kept memory books of my years growing up. Yes I even had a book full of just....stickers. I love the memory my mom gave me and I have carried that on to my children.
I then added more and more flowers plus a sentiment sticker for the final touch.
My background was made using a Prima mask & spray mist. I love the effect it gave – I was trying to draw attention to my daughter’s photograph.
