family photo---check

This is the third year in a row in which the Harpers have a family photo, I think this is our nicest one yet. In years past we took one at the Tilford Christmas Tree Nursery and also at Cornerstone Fellowship. Although everyone enjoys the photo session, I coulbn't help but notice the cheers from the crows as I ran back an forth from the camera. I think it was about a 8 sec run across all these rocks... I think most people were hoping I wouldn't fall into the water below.

I snapped some cute pics of the kids also, I plan on ordering some enlargements at mpix and maybe doing up a little digi christmas card. Scrapbook Pictures has a 4 x 8 size that would be great! 2007 Family photo--check!

Right Brain vs Left Brain test ...

You all need to take this test... it is way cool. Which way do you see the lady spining? At first I saw her spining to the right, but after I focused on her feet, I was able to change the direction she was spinning... check it out for yourself and tell me what you think!

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

snap shot!

So here are some snapshots of some layouts I had alot of fun doing. If you haven't tried the new Hambly Heavy Overlays, you should... they are great and actually more durable and easy to work with than I thought.
