Duct and Denim answers for Craft/Technology Week

First, we HAVE the jeans!! We'll have legs, pockets, and pieces to cover for the projects . . . and we have SIX low temp glue guns. Be Careful with them - they may be low temp, but they can still burn!

And we have Duct Tape and directions and patterns for our, erm, let's call them Oriental sandals (they remind me of the ones my kdrama characters put on when they come in the house!)

I have found directions for creating 'green' screens in Movie Maker!! I was only partially successful as the chroma key is actually for 'blue' screens. I'm going to see if I can change it to 'green' . . .

And, remember . . . no SPLAT tonight!!

S.P.L.A.T. JUNE 14

The Nerds beat the Unicorns in W.T.Q.

Frozen Hot Chocolate was a hit!

I talked about next week's programs: Craft/Tech week, but I forgot to mention Ed's Writing 'program' - we are now linked to the writing site he posts on.

Frozen Hot Chocolate: 1 packet of hot chocolate mix, 1/2 cup of each of the following: milk, ice cream, crushed ice (I used snow cone ice.) Blenderize. Drink with a straw! Brain freeze! Good!
