Who is CastleRoy? (My Lensography)

My Lenses in categories some about squidoo including wonderful squid angels who have blessed my lenses & CastleRoy revealed! Hi, I am Lisa and I live in the Northeastern United States, in the smallest state, Rhode Island. But, I was born and raised in New Hampshire and still spend lots of time there as well. I have one sister, 3 nieces, and a nephew. I am married to a wonderful man, I always say he is not just my husband, but my best friend. I am 43 and for work I have worked with mentally and physically challenged children during the summer at a camp and then mentally ill adults in training them for work. I also suffered from PTSD and depression. I was giving back and it even helped me more at times as well. I also did some factory and store work in my 20's. Today I do online stuff and ebay, boy do I ebay sometimes!! We have so many things from our parents old houses and from our own apartments that our basement is full, yet sometimes it is so hard going through things. I also do crafts, Squidoo, Zazzle, and 3d and scrap kit sales. Also, while I do not consider it work but it was lol, I did a few years of landscaping and dog walking when i first meet my husband! He was a Project Manager at Compaq Computers when we met, today he is back in the computer field. We had a time, before the recession, when we started a realty business and where headed for a real solid business when the housing market crashed. I was his secretary, and house warming party organizer, and basket maker, and he was the licensed Realtor, we were loving it. Maybe someday we will give it a go again, but we just didn't have the resources to weather such a long downturn. I love fantasy art fairies love renaissance fairs magic and the things beautiful dreams are made of .
A wonderful friend, known as WhiteOak in the world of Squidoo, introduced me to the site, and I got hooked fast, I am not much of a blogger, I mean keeping up with one steady, but I do enjoy writing about it when something comes up that interests me, so Squidoo is perfect for that. It Is wonderful in many ways. I have also found the people I have met at Squidoo to be kind and helpful, and I feel I have even met some real friends and really wonderful folk here, and look forward to meeting more.

Squidoo has helped build my confidence, I am an adult dyslexic, but my writing and organization has improved so much since joining, and I read so much more than I ever have, I love visiting lenses. Squidoo is like a treasure chest of information I often check the search here before Google these days and love the articles. I thank WhiteOak so much for introducing me to Squidoo. I just love it.

I Married My Best friend!!!!!!

And We Love Video Games

I love video games for so many reasons, competition for the mind, you can be fantasy characters and escape, I love solving puzzles, and now love my Wii for the exercise. And it is something my husband and I love to do together, it is one of the things we do that has us laughing at times or solving problems and puzzles and is just one of the ways we are very close. I even did a lens about women and video games because many women do enjoy games.

Growing Up (My Family Gallery)

A bit of history, hmmm lets see. I have one sister and we are both adopted. My parents, well dad's mother and father my Mémère and Pépère came from Canada, they had 10 kids here in the USA, all of them born at home in their house. My dad survived the Hurricane of 1938 on the roof of that house as he was trying to repair it. Mom also survived that hurricane, although she wasn't on a roof, LOL. My parents meet in my Mom's mother's diner. Mom and Dad built their own home and moved in on valentines day, and I was adopted and moved in one year later. My parents had a hard life, working hard and some hard times. They both died in there 60's, way to soon, and it is still very hard for me. My sister now has four wonderful children. Here are some family photos. They can tell a story all by themselves. I have written some about my family in other lenses, I hope you will check them out. memories are wonderful and I do hope to ad a few more About me lenses over time.

More About Me Lenses (A more personal look)

These lenses say a little more about me, a bit more personal. A combination of my past, a serious look in hopes that they might help others with information, but most of all let them know that we are not alone. I hope you will find these lenses helpful. And a couple are just fun memories, and yes, some are about my likes and dislikes.

My Passion For Art

I have loved art since I was a kid. Mom would always praise my work. Crafts, when I was a child, were my favorite, I remember making candy wreaths and trees and giving them out to my entire family. Mom used to say I could sell them they where so good. Pine cone crafts, painting, and drawing, and I had all the "little girl gadgets". I loved my pot holder maker, it was a weave set, and in school making braided and beaded bracelet's for friends. I always played around with art, then I discovered the computer and all it had to offer through various painting and photo programs and then 3D modeling software. I love combining 3d characters I make with landscapes I create, making fantasy and fun scenes. And I have a huge passion for photography, and memories with scrapbooking.

Fairies? I love fairies... and fantasy, renaissance, and legends!!!

My 3d and multi media work will often be of Fairies

Have You Watched the Fairies
(Rose Fyleman)

Have you watched the fairies
when the rain is done,
Spreading out their little
wings to dry them in the sun?
I have, I have!
Isn't it fun?

Have you heard the fairies
all among the limes
Singing little fairy tunes
to little fairy rhymes?
I have, I have,
Lots and lots of times!

Have you seen the fairies
dancing in the air
And dashing off behind the stars
to tidy up their hair?
I have, I have,
I've been there!

I Love Animals, Wildlife, and Nature

I have 2 cats & 2 dogs. I believe pets are family and a wonderful part of our lives. Pets can heal the spirit as well health, they reduce blood pressure and anxiety. They are friends loyal and true. They are miracles, so many have saved lives. All animals are here for a reason.

Nature... I feel breathing fresh air clears the mind, relaxing body, and energizes the soul. The flowers in Spring and Summer are oh, so beautiful, and the Autumn trees are just full of color, and then finally the winter snow sparkling. Have you ever taken chunks of soil and brought it near your nose for a sniff, it is the earth and it is wonderful, it is a gift!!!!

I love the smell of Lilacs in spring, roses and green grass in summer, fall leaves and apples, and the crisp and freshness of winter. I enjoy taking photos, keepsakes of the beauty, the gifts the earth provides. And I love watching my vegetables grow in my garden.

Paranormal, Spooks, Spirits, Miracles, and Magic

The unknown and the mystery. I have had some personal experiences with angels or ghosts. I also have a belief that sometimes things happen for a reason. I am Christian and have a personal relationship with God, yet feel nature and wildlife are just as important, whether because God gave it to us, or because being close to nature and animals keeps us healthier, more loving, and more at peace. Miracles and unexplained events, spirits and more, I feel I need to learn more about. I know it will both bring me closer to God and to nature and make myself more whole. And I must admit I do love, as well as respect, a good ghost story. I have ever since I was a child around the campfire, but there are some that are true. I am believer.

Food And Diet

I love browsing Squidoo for recipes, and so many lensmasters I have met here seem to have great recipes. I found out last year that I have Type 2 Diabetes, and my entire life has done a spin, but I must say I haven't enjoyed food more. Perhaps it is that I am out there looking for recipes more now because I need to find those things that are good for me. I have had the most wonderful deserts, shakes, and now we are making wonderful smoothies. We are cooking foods better, and wow meats taste so much better when you are not coating them with so much stuff, LOL. I think I had forgotten what it tasted like. But the best is that there are wonderful replacements for sugar and fat that taste just as wonderful and make your baking just as sweet, be sure to check Squidoo for some wonderful recipes and you do not have to be Diabetic to eat more healthy and love it. You will find both diabetic and non-Diabetic in my lenses, but as I continue my Squidoo adventure there will be more healthy, yet wonderful, cooking lenses.

TV, Movies, And Events

My husband and I have similar likes as far as media is concerned, we enjoy many of the same shows on TV and types of movies. Avatar is the most recent that I can't stop talking about. We just also enjoyed the third Twilight movie, although we enjoyed the other 2 more, but it was still a good watch. We enjoy horror, fantasy, sc-fi, and musicals, movies from the old comics and true stories and a mushy love story here and there is OK with us as well. I enjoy writing what comes up current, as well as memories from the past. I am hoping to add more movie lenses, perhaps more like reviews. We both tend to also love all types of music and other events. Again I am hoping to write about some of my favorites as time goes on here with my journey through Squidoo.

Holidays and The internet



I love the Internet and the holidays !!!!!!!, I have meet the most wonderful people and friends from the very first day that I discovered the wonderful World Wide Web. I love to search for everything, I just love it. If I can help someone find something they are looking for, or make it easier with groupings of links, I enjoy doing it. Of coarse most groupings of links are normally about holidays or things I would be interested in and have looked up, LOL. I hope in the future to add some help lenses for someone new to the net. Christmas and Halloween are my two favorite holidays, so you will probably find more lens with these holidays as time goes on.

Angels Have Blessed My Lenses. Thank You!

A wonderful group of volunteer lensmasters, who bless deserving lenses, is called the Squidoo Angels. Each looks for special thought, work, and time that has been put into lenses at Squidoo. All looking for other special qualities that they feel make lenses that deserve that special blessing. Some of my lenses have been honored with such wonderful blessings, and I thank the Squidoo Angels who have taken time to stop in and take a look and am very glad they enjoyed their stay.

Great items I like also gifts guides.
