My Official Lensography

I'm just your ordinary work at home mom who proudly holds the title of Giant Squid and happens to be enslaved by faeries. I have been married to my best friend for 18 years. We are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters that are smart, silly, spirited, exuberant, imaginative girls who attend Montessori/Liberal Arts School.

Most of my recent lenses have been inspired by the Twilight vampire saga by Stephenie Meyer. Yep, I confess... my kids ate cereal for dinner for an entire week while I consumed the first 3 books in the series. My husband cringes every time he hears Edward Cullen's name and my 13 year old daughter and I have lots more to talk about.

Did I mention that I love Squidoo?! It's an amazing outlet for all the random thoughts that pour out of this little mind of mine.:)

I became a Giant Squid on July 02, 2008!

I was accepted into the Giant 100 Club on January 13, 2009.

aka: enslavedbyfaeries

My username is in reference to faery lore and the enchanted faery rings that are made of toadstools or wild mushrooms. Humans can be lured into the ring with the faery music. If a human steps into their circle and joins in the wild prancing it could lead to captivity forever in the fairy world.

What's with the Faeries? 

I'm slightly obsessed with faeries, elves and gnomes, hence the name; EnslavedbyFaeries. I joke that I am enslaved by faeries but honestly, it is my husband who is truly enslaved in our faery filled home.

Kindness Inspires Kindess 

Photobucket

I truly believed that kindness matters and if we can teach peace to strengthen the trait of compassion that humans show to one another, animals, and the environment it would rule out many of the problems and challenges we face in the world today and for our children's future.

I Am Proud to be Echelon 

Photobucket

I am a member of the giant, crazy, beautiful, dysfunctional Echelon family...the believers in 30 Seconds to Mars.

The fans of 30 Seconds to Mars are more than just screaming girls who are in love with a group of really hot guys who happen to be incredibly talented musicians. 30 Seconds to Mars' fans are like a family to the band and to each other, no matter how far apart they may be.

30 Seconds to Mars has made the news lately about their efforts to help stop global warming with their music video and supporting website for A Beautiful Lie. They also raised $10,000 recently during their build with Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity and the A Brush With Kindness program. This project inspired their fans, the Echelon, to start their own project with Hope Builders which raises funds to build homes internationally.

I am so proud to be Echelon!!

I created lenses about both of 30 Seconds to Mars' Projects. Both of which donate 100% to Earthjustice.

My first visit to Squidoo was to your page for Jared Leto as Jordan Catalano. I just browsed your links from there and realized that, with the exception of the vegetarianism, we are much alike.
I love all of your pages and it is good to see another adult that feels and sometimes acts like a teenager.
FYI, another awesome faerie book is called Fairies by Alison Maloney. There are a ton of projects and recipes, it's so great I went and got one for myself after giving it to my 6 year old daughter for her birthday.
Have a great day and never stop being the crazy creative mom you are.
Pssst (my family also had cereal and $1 menu stuff for a week while I read the Twilight saga) tell them not to feel too bad, they weren't the only ones. lol

This is really neat! I hadn't realized how popular "Twilight" had gotten until I learned about it on Squidoo. LOL. I lead a way too sheltered life.

Thanks for stopping by my lens on Killing our Pets. My vet carries Royal Canine and they were part of the recall also.

I'll have to visit more of your lenses. I am especially interested in the "cake in a mug". LOL

Nice lensography. I have three teen boys who are now lensmasters. If you think teen daughters are like riding a roller coaster, teen boys are like trying to nail jello to a tree! But, I wouldn't change it for anything.
