My name is Leslie, and I love to create. I enjoy sewing, painting, mod podge, knitting, home decorating, thrifting, cooking, etc. I can be enticed to try just about any cool crafting project ;) I started this blog almost a year ago as a way for me to keep track of projects I done. I was posting projects on my family blog before, but that's a place where I can brag about my kids. I needed a place where I could brag about my projects. Hence, Leslie's Latest Creations was born. I'm going to start expanding my scope of blogging posts to include tutorials and patterns for my original ideas so that my fellow crafters can copy my ideas if they are so inclined! And if I've used your ideas, I promise that I will give you proper credit.
I spend my days as a stay-at-home mom to three darling little boys. For their privacy, I will be calling them Anakin (5), Buzz Lightyear (3) and Mr. Bean (1) on this blog. They keep me very busy and leave little time for crafting, so I have to squeeze it in when I can. I'm married to the most fantastic guy; I'll call him Mr. Right. He's great. He is completely supportive of my crafting bug. We've been married for 8 years, and it still seems like yesterday that we tied the knot. .
A little more about me: We belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am currently serving as the Relief Society Activity Leader, which is our church's women's society. I get plenty of opportunities to be creative as I work in this role. I am also a Registered Nurse, and I work 2 nights a week in the ICU at a local hospital. I love to unwind by reading a good book. I play the viola and the piano. I am currently training for my first marathon.
