Robotic Arm....Amazing

I am falling in love with the career I have chosen. There is sooooo much to learn and so little time to absorb everything that we are being taught. I am finding myself using my free time to do more research and discover this profession. The robotic arm that DARPA has created has captured my attention. Here a link to an amazing source of info. regarding the robotics side of the O&P industry.

Sorry for such a quick post, but I have to go back to class and learn about plastics.

A Givaway From Embellish Essentials!

Giveaway!! From Embellish Essentials (go to the blog HERE)

Last Sunday Jaime and I were up until 3 am getting ready for our BIG garage sale! Of course, we didn't PLAN to be up that late, but one thing led to another... and another... and so on.The best part about one thing leading to another is that we were up late packaging yards and yards and YARDS of ribbon into cute little bags of color coordinating ribbon. The reason why you should like cute little bags of color coordinating ribbon is because one or more of those bags will be included in our very first giveaway!!! Did you read that?? A GIVEAWAY!! That's right! Because we think we're crazy for having so much scrapbooking stuff for sale, we're just going to give it away. We've put our pretty (tired) heads together to come up with a surprise scrapbook package worth over $50!! Just for you, if you're the lucky winner!

Here's how you can enter this giveaway contest (you can get one entry for each task completed, up to three entries per person):

1. Become a follower of this blog and leave us a message in the comments section introducing yourself.
   
2. Post this giveaway on your own blog and leave a link to your post in the comments section.
   
3. Leave a comment sharing your favorite Spring scrapbook project (it can be a past or present project, or even one you have plans to accomplish someday).

The deadline to enter is Saturday, April 11th at 11:59 p.m. PST. The winner will be chosen randomly and will be announced on Sunday, April 12th. Check back to see who the lucky winner is! The winner will have 48 hours to contact us* so we can arrange for delivery of your prize.

*If we are not contacted within 48 hours, a second winner will be selected, thus nullifying the first winner's claim to the prize.

Good luck and have fun! Jaime & Heather

School IS Cool!

Monday was my first day of the Orthotics & Porthetics program out at SFCC. Feeling like a pre-schooler entering the lions den, I took my seat and sat quietly. I observed, getting a feel for the group. WOW! What a group. So many different nationalities, backgrounds and a few locals such as myself. This past week we spent time getting familiar with the way the program operates, taking multiple test, writing a paper and learning all the different types of program specific tools.

As I read the text book, watch videos and observe the other accelerated students and can't help but feel like I have found my calling. I am considering going on to become a practitioner, but that is still a little ways off yet. I can't seem to get enough knowledge about the industry and what the latest technologies are and how to use your creativity to work through a problem. LOVE IT!!!!!

Perhaps the best part about being in school is getting Fridays off! LOL! I love my sleep just as much as I love the program and now that I am older than most traditional students are, I NEED MY SLEEP:) I woke up today feeling a little refreshed and wanting to make something. I decided to make my first QuickPage (or QP as they are known in digi-world) so here is the layout using a pic. from the Twilight moive since prom is coming up.

If you would like to download the QP head on over to my Sporadic Scrapper blog and snag yourself this fun freebie along with the entire BELLA kit.

I really hope that everyone has a great Easter with their friends & family. Make sure to take time for Jesus and yourself.

Happy Good Friday, Heather
