The World According to Leslie

I started something that I just don't think I'm going to have time to finish. I started the Creativity Boot Camp, but then everything went crazy. I found that I barely had time to finish the days I did complete. Then, I got behind. Now, I've completed 4 days and they are on DAY 9! I'm almost a week behind. I could try and catch up, but I think I'm OK with stopping where I am! :) It's OK to not finish some things! :) Yesterday, I watched "Julie and Julia"! Have you ever seen that? It's a great movie! I highly recommend it! It's about a lady who cooked her way through Julia Child's cookbook in a year and blogged about it. It also tells Julia Child's story as it goes! I loved it!! Anyways, the lady, Julie Powell, had started lots of things, but never finished them. Then she started the blog about what she was cooking and she actually finished it! I won't spoil then ending....just in case you want to watch it for yoursel...

Today the creative prompt for today is “Heavy Metal”. We were also asked to shoot some random shots of nature and things. When I was shooting a nature shot, I got my “Heavy Metal” shot too. What’s more summer-y and heavy metal than a lighthouse? I get to see this every day! It’s in my neighbor’s front yard! It’s one of the first pics I took for my random shots today. Until next time……..

Today’s (actually yesterday’s but I couldn’t get Blogger to let me post my pictures) creative prompt is “picnic”. When I think of picnics, I think of… …open grassy fields… …big huge ants… …and sunglasses. I also think of family, friends, sunburn, and good food! Until next time……..

Today’s creative prompt is “multilayered”. I thought about hair, but I wasn’t about to try to take a pic of my hair…. it’s in need of a cut! I thought about clothes. However, at 90 degrees, it’s a little warm to be layering clothes. :) Then I thought about all the layers of junk stuff I have around my house. I have stacks of stuff. Each stack is multilayered. So I have pics of movies, paperwork (some of it is actually finished!), and empty notebooks for school. For me school is VERY multilayered. This is the concept of “multilayered” to me. Until next time……..

Ok so I'm a day late in actually posting my picture! lol I did TAKE it yesterday! I have my letter, but I am not putting it on my blog. I thought about it, but I'm just going to keep it for myself. However, I have a picture that I took. The creativity prompt for Day 1 was "ivory". The first thing I thought of was my daughter's perfect skin. So I took this shot of her! :) Isn't she just adorable? Now...if I can just convince her that smooth ivory skin is a GOOD thing, she might be able to keep it this way for a while! Until next time........

I have decided to try something! I am going to try the Creativity Bootcamp over at Creativity BootCamp ! It's a 14-day bootcamp about creativity! Everyday there will be a Journal Prompt and a Daily Creative Prompt. So the Journal for today is to write my future self a letter about all this BootCamp! I have to put it somewhere that I won't re-read it until the end of this course! I am going to hand write it first. Then, I might SERIOUSLY update this post to include it. I'll also have to update this post to include the Creative Prompt for the day! I'm using photography for my creativity medium. So I'll be posting pictures I have taken. For now, I am going to write my letter and take some pictures! :) Until next time........
