13-2-2007 Snow Day!
Today school was canceled. Thus the only resonable thing to do was to break out the digital camera and create stop motion animations. Check 'em out. (Won't Play? Download VLC Player)

Canal ProjectHere is a project I completed on for my General Biology 2 Class at Frostburg State University. I am walking a portion of the C&O Canal every week documenting the changes from winter to spring. (I recived and A for this project)
I have never had a drastic hair cut in my entire life! Lately I have been pulling my hair up, and it is getting a little unmanageable. I figure someone can put this hair to better use than I am. So I went to Absoultly U and had my hair cut by Tracey, I have known her for a long time, I knew that she would give me a cute hair cut. Now I have donated 11 inches of hair to Locks of Love. I have printed out the PDF donation form, and place my clean, dry, secured hair in a padded envelope and I have mailed it to Locks of Love, (address) The postage on July 31, 2006 was 2.51, for my 5.6oz of hair and envelope. I feel good about my donation, I sure hope it can help the children with cancer, that can't afford wigs.
Here are my before and after pictures
Cool notebooks on the cheap
All you need
notebook ( I recomend a spiral notebook, rather than a glued notebook*)
wide clear packaging tape
colored paper (construction paper would work but they have some cool color paper for scrapbooks)
try some:
velum (transparent paper)
cool pictures cut from magiznes
ribbon
stickers
glitter
get creative!
make a base page- pick a cool color piece of paper, bigger of the same size as your notebook cover
lay it under the cover
trace the cover
cut the piece of paper so it is the same size as the cover of the notebook
now cut out peices of paper and lay them on your base paper
(have fun with this part)
find a clean space in your work area (this is where you use the tape, you dont want hair, dirt, or scaps of paper on your lamination)
now take your packing tape and cut of a 4 inches strip longer than your notebook, it does not have to be exact just so there is extra
place it sticky side up on your work area
now repeat cutting a strip of tape the same size as the last
place this new strip so it overlapps 1/2'' 1/4'' the other peice of tape
your want to make "lamination" for your notebook
now that you have a very large peice of tape
place the large peice of tape starting near the spirals on your arranged peces of paper that your designed
stick it smoothly to the desing (you will probably have wrinkles)
the tape that over hangs fold under to the cover of the notebook
take the handle of siccors or somthing flat to smooth down bubles and the tape to the paper
ta-da you now have as snazzy notebook, with a folder in the cover of the notebook!
Enjoy.. if you have any comment, pictures, or suggestions contact me!* If you do use a glued notebook, take a cordless drill and drill holes in the notebook and secure it with ring clasps (like you use to secure flash cards) You will thank me later when your glued notebook doesnt fall apart.
