Data Collectors

For my "Designs for Teaching Math" class I had to create a Center's Project. I chose to do Data Analyis for grade 3. The object of the game is to head back to the boat with your partner. Along the way you get to collect data which you will later graph. Ryan says it sounds like a lot of fun except for the graphing part. It was pretty exciting to do. I got a lot of use out of my Cricut that's for sure. I'm really excited about this and hope to actually use it in a real classroom one day.

Scrap for food

This layout was done by a lady and posted on 2 peas. I think it's hilarious. I think it captures a serious dream of all scrapbookers; to spend your entire life scrapbooking and get paid for it. I'd love to be published. I'd love to wake up and spend my days in pjs cutting and gluing.

I just thought I'd post quick, I need to go finish my homework for tomorrow :)

3 Random Things...

Cosmo Cricket's blog always does "3 random things" which I quite like. I think from time to time I may just have to do the same. So here it is, my first 3 random things.
1) Jon and Kate Plus 8, my favorite tv family appears to be falling apart. I totally love these guys and wish them nothing but the best. I think it's so sad when you see things like this floating around the internet. How pathetic. I liked on the show premier when Kate said "go photograph another mom - oh look! there's one right over there" (in regards to the paparazzi). Yes, they brought some it on themselves, but I really feel in situations like this people need to be left alone to sort out their private issues by themselves.
2) My dad got into a car accident today. He is fine, which I am extremely relieved to hear. He was just turning off the highway onto our road in his brand new truck - just purchased today. He was signalling to turn off and the guy behind him didn't even notice so he just drove straight into him. He was going over 80 km an hour. I'm so happy my dad is okay, what a horrible thing to have your father phone you and say "I'm calling to tell you what happened to me today. I just came back from the hospital". I love him so much and it makes me realize how far away from home we are. I really feel an urge to go home. We are planning a trip for July, but that seems so far away....
3) Check out this guy's basement. Wow. Can he come do mine when my house is all put back together? I am very inspired by this and may attempt to do something similar on a scrapbook page. However, my drawing skills are no where near..... I'm thinking perhaps picking up some Cricut markers and letting the machine do the work?

Snow Much Fun - Complete!

Remember back in January when I posted these? I have finally put photos on one of them! My Christmas layout is still without photos, but I'm getting there.... I have this ziploc back with unfinished layouts in it. It's only like 4, so that isn't too bad. One of them I actually just need to print the photo. It's been at that stage since last summer. How silly of me.

I like this layout quite a bit for 3 reasons:
1) I used old paper
2) I used a transparency
3) My title is not in the upper left

It's good to try things a little differently from time to time. Now that my desk is clear I can begin working on my board game for school. It's going to be excellent - I'll post photos when done.

Carnival!

Stacee and I went to the carnival after work today. I think we both branched out and went on some rides we wouldn't be comfortable with. It was pretty awesome! My favorite was the "upper-downer" as we called it. I dont' know the real name. It basically puts you up in the air and then drops you down bit by bit. Freaky!
I got this tattoo on my ankle. It's much prettier in real life. Apparently it glows under black light. The lady airbrushed it on. Stacee tells me that the same lady has been traveling to FSJ with the carnival all the years she's been going. And she's from here, so that's a while.
That's all my news for now.....

Girl Friday AGAIN!

A second Girl Friday layout! I usually don't work with the same paper line twice in a row like that, but it just worked out that way. I have nearly any of this stuff left. That's rare, but good. These photos are Mackie's first day home. He was such a little baby then! This was a fun page to do, used a lot of cartoon-y elements here. I also finished off some old KI Memories paw print paper. I think that might be from 2 years ago, so it's good to get rid of. Hope you like it!

Project Complete!

Feels good to finish a project. I really am in love with this one. I hope that Uncle Edwin loves it as well. It will go in the mail this afternoon and hopefully make it safe to Powell River in time for his surprise party.
