More Little Quiz Analogies of myself..




Your Hidden Talent



You are both very knowledgeable and creative.

You tend to be full of new ideas and potential - big potential.

Ideas like yours could change the world, if you build them.

As long as you don't stop working on your dreams, you'll get there.

Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art.



You would make an excellent:

The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary.

You're somewhat addicted to the internet - but who isn't?

You can keep it under check, and you're by no means a hermit.






Your Inner Child Is Surprised



You see many things through the eyes of a child.

Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded.

You cherish all of the details in life.

Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.









Keiki Cards... Announcement



Thanks to Jen at Pieces of Me I read about Keiki Cards. My Girl Scout Troop and of course myself were going to be making Cards and sending them to this organization for our service project this year. Unfortunately it looks as though they have PLENTY of cards at the moment and may even close due to the fact that they do not have the funds to mail these cards..

Here is the partial message from the Keiki Cards website:



Dear Keiki Cards volunteers and families,
Due to a lack of funding for Keiki Cards, we will no longer be accepting card donations. We have an abundance of cards that we will continue to send out to the children for as long as we can. We are in need of only postage donations and monetary donations. If you need to contact us by phone, please call Amber's cell phone at (808)-388-5675 or Annette at (808)-542-7106. Otherwise, please use our email to contact us. We are so grateful for all you have done for the children over the years. Thank you for all the wonderful and beautiful cards that have been made to put smiles on the children's faces. Thank you for your understanding to not send any further donations of cards or other office supplies. We only are accepting postage donations and monetary donations to help pay for postage.
- Amber


If you would like to help with postage stamps or monetary donations,
please click here to make an online donation, or if you'd rather mail in a donation, please send to:
Keiki Cards
PMB 5-5324224
Waialae Ave.Honolulu, HI 96816

I know that I will personally be sending a monetary donation online.. As well as when school starts the Girl Scouts and I will have a Garage Sale and send our proceeds to Keiki Cards.. They do such a wonderful thing, I know the kids who benefit from this organization love receiving the cards. It would be such a shame to see this end.

Your Kiss is Blue



You prefer kissing to be a meaningful, emotional experience.

You don't like to kiss strangers, and you don't like to kiss someone you're mad at.

A kiss can change how you feel about someone - for better or worse.

You don't take anything lightly... especially kissing.



Kissing Type: Deep



People See Your Kisses as: Genuine



You Kiss Best With: A Green Kisser



Stay away from: A Red Kisser

I love this Image

Photo Editing

Before

After using the program
Before
After using the Program
Before

I came across this website (Picnik) that you can upload your photos to and alter them with so many options. It is a paid site to have access to all of the features.. I did edit these photos without signing up or anything, I just used the demo feature.. I think what the site offers is really neat, but I do not know how often I would use something like this.. Anyone else use a photo editing software? If so what? Do you use Picnik?How do you like it and did you pay the $24.95 fee for the year?

I am a "Red Delicious"




You Are an Apple



You are strong, powerful, and even a bit stubborn at times.

You have enough strength to help those around you in trouble.



You are adventurous and charming. Many people are drawn to you.

You love life, and you enjoy traveling the world. You enjoy fine food, art, and culture.



People have accused you of being a snob, but that's not accurate.

You do enjoy the best things in life. Unlike snobs, you truly appreciate quality... not just pretend to.

Amanda's Play -- Tiger Shark


Middle: Orange Shirt Black Jeans -- she was the Tiger Shark who just wanted some friends..



My oldest daughter Amanda was in Musical Theater Camp...she was the lead in the play.. I am so proud of her, she did a wonderful job and when others forgot their lines she did a superb job of ad libbing.. The director was so impressed with her.. Hopefully this fall they will put on High School Musical and Amanda is hoping to be Sharpe (is that how you spell it?)
