Math Art!

Made this sphere out of paper plates and bobbypins with my REACH (gifted) kids today, they had a great time. You can find the instructions on http://www.wholemovement.com/

There are also instructions there to make a tetrahedron (pyramid) out of a paper plate. I posted a picture of that about a month ago- under my tags it's paper plate geometry. If you've got kids, go get the cheapest paper plates you can find (This is important!!The cheaper they are the better they fold.) and some bobby pins and try this one out! It's fun and pretty easy! I really need to order this guy's books. I also need to order that scrapbook ahesive gun like Amy's. I kept putting it off/forgetting. Must have one of those. WOOT! Found the post it with the website on it!! *runs off to order*

Last night I made this classy birthday card for a friend. I really like the black & green together.

I get to go SCRAP SHOPPING this weekend!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!! So Joscie I'm gonna hold off your package until next week, in case I find somehting cool at the scrappy store that screams your name. I'll let you know when I send it.

Home Again

I wasn't able to scrap while away at my teaching conference, but I continued to make things everyday. I also enjoyed Vanilla Bean Cheesecake (of DOOM!) & tunes on my jPod. (That is not a typo, that is its name...as you can see it has a picture of Josh on it..hehe). I did get to go scrapshopping at my fave place and spent over $200. Bad me.

I added to my "This is Me" journal. I only uploaded one of the 3 pages (the other 2 were my 5 quirks & my goals for 2008- if you wnat to see them I can upload those too). Click on it to see it large enough to read it. This one about my fave movies.

I drew a funky Robot on some white cardboard(from a game I bought while down there).

Lyrics from Josh Groban's "Machine".

Sharpies are love BTW.

I also made this tetrahedron (triangular pyramid) out of a paper plate in a workshop I went to on geometry on Friday (at the conference I was at). It was an AWESOME workshop and I can't wait to do this stuff with my kids!

After I got home last night I made these bookmarks.

I am going to make my kids bookmarks for VD since I don't believe in commercially supporting the holiday of stupidity & evil. Which bookmark do you like best? I may end up just making them all different ones. I dunno.

Not looking forward to tomorrow, laundry (I have to babysit my washer becuase it overflows if I don't let the water out bit by bit) & going to school to do my grades. Parent teacher conferences are this week and I have to get that done. The papers are all graded, but the grades aren't in the computer yet so I can print out reports. That's going to take me a couple HOURS. *sigh*
