On a recent visit to Salem, Laura and I decided that we would do monthly challenges — mainly because we want to make more pages and make time to scrap. Each month, one of us would decide on a challenge (or two depending on how busy we are) and we’d post our page(s) at [...]

While the students were doing a lab today, I took a minute to check my email and to my surprise, I received an email from the Director of Instructional Support.  Crap!  What did I do?  My email isn’t set up so that I can see the subject so I panicked for a brief moment.  Am [...]

Astronaut Chris Hadfield spent the entire day yesterday talking with students, answering a zillion questions about what it is like in microgravity, and eating lunch + hanging out with a bunch of our science + robotics geeks.  Chris is very good with the kids. Chris has a lot of passion for what he does (and [...]

Here’s a look at a couple quick layouts I made using the Green Tangerines February Kit.  I love all of the pattern papers included in the kit, especially the Real Wood paper from Creative Imaginations.  You can stamp on it, use punches with it, and even sew it!  I only had trouble putting it through [...]

Cassette tapes are back “in” — for a brief moment.

I’ve been all over Portland, Stockton and Sacramento for vintage toys to use for a stations lab based on NASA’s Toys In Space. Not all of the toys are vintage, but many of them are definitely difficult to find.
Tonight, I used this great tutorial to make [...]

The first set of file drawers from Amazon didn’t make it here two weeks ago.  I contacted Amazon and they were kind enough to send me another.  I quickly opened the box today and found a cheap, flimsy metal box that is supposed to store 3000 index cards/photographs.  Hmmm … I’m not sure if I [...]

closing.  I am sad.  Very very sad.
But their online Kit of the Month club will contine!  Yay!!!
Here’s a look at a canvas that I made using the Oct/Nov kit.

And a layout to celebrate NES girlfriends.
