what i see everyday through blue eyes. my travels, places i dream about, my life stories, adventures that make me smile the rest of the week, food-- because it's the essense of life, my photography, paintings due to emotion overload, and sunshine. this is where pretty much all the little things i feel like sharing will be... shared :)

moon gazing. [adventures]

-
so we got up on the roof of a big old house and fell in love with the sky...

One of the most amazing, thrilling experiences I've had in a long, long time. The way my cousin's house is shaped, you can walk up on the roof (outside her bedroom window) and travel up.

There was a full moon, actually a super moon that night-- plus millions of stars.

Take time and stargaze. Trust me you'll never be disappointed. :)

i am abby leigh. and this is my artsy fartsy blog.

-

As much as i love my other blog (www.abbyleighphotos.blogspot.com) I have a feeling I'll be posting on this a lot more. This blog will cover everything from the new store i found in the middle of nowhere to my mood, and why i'm in it.

I would love it if you followed, just so i know i'm not talking to a wall ;)
I wont usually write this much, I'll be sharing pictures more often, not words.

So, meet me.






If you want to make me the happiest girl in the world, give me money to take a trip to Paris. Or Italy, or China. orrrrr Egypt…or Thailand, or South Africa, or Greece. I’ll honestly go wherever, nothing makes me as happy as traveling.

…Except food. Or maybe traveling and food are tied. Depends on my mood ;)



I am not a fan of mushrooms, avocados, and pickles. And mayonnaise, because once long ago… ehh I’ll save that for another time.

I’ve been to every restaurant, joint, and dive that sells wings. Hot wings. It’s my passion. Wingstop wins so far, if you know somewhere better do tell!!


I’ve never left the great USA. One day…


I am a photographer. It’s what I do, even though I hardly know what I’m doing. Self taught, so thus I have my own style. It’s a way to let out myself, my mind, and what inspires me into one capture. Something I can hold on to forever.

When I’m emotional, I paint. It’s the best medicine when you need to stop how fast your life is spinning out of control and think. Try it sometime, even if you’re horrible. It’s not exactly my thing, but I’ve learned that I’ll never be satisfied with my work-- so I might as well relax and just do it.


It sounds like fun to be in love. Ahaaa

I have three sisters, and no brothers. One’s older, two are younger. We fight like nothing you’ve ever seen… no I don’t mean really bad. We’re just kind of odd in the way we react to each others life problems, its funny to watch. My mom included. Its never, ever quiet at my house. Ever. We even have a female dog and female hamster. Poor dad.

I play volleyball. I have for many years, school team in the fall and club team in the winter & spring. I love it, even though it consumes my weekends at times.

Oh I probably should of mentioned this before but I’m kind of tall. Well, really tall. More like the tallest girl in my grade at school… which is only 30 people (private school, and its only a few times a week, woot.) 5 feet, 10 and ½ inches baaabbay. Proud of it. Most of the time.

I’m a leftie. For some reason people find that interesting, I’ll never understand why.

I have a pink cell phone, I like to dress artsy, I think UGGS are highly overrated, same as TOMS, and I hate it when my sister plays violin. It hurts my ears.

The End. Hope you know me that much better.
