Wednesdays 7:00 - 8:30PM | 7-12th grade
Took the kids to see this exhibition last week. It really was excellent. I recommend that you allow yourself plenty of time though. We found that three hours flew past and it cost about £25 for the three of us. Better to go in the morning and make a day of it. There is so much to do and see. It's a pity they don't seem to do a year long pass. I'd happily pay for it. Needless to say my kids and this big kid loved it and we might even try and go back this weekend as they're offering workshops with some of Aardman's animators.
I particularly enjoyed the jam splatting workshop and the plasticine forest. Good to se the Wallace and Gromit sets. Buddding stop frame animators will be interested to see the scale and intricate level of detail in the set designs. Great contraptions and interesting information on intellectual property issues too.
Highly recommended!

Wallace and Gromit present...A World of Cracking Ideas
We are proud to announce that we have secured the first opportunity outside London to host “Wallace and Gromit present . . . A World Cracking Ideas”. This is a fabulous interactive exhibition stuffed full of crazy innovation, some amazing examples of ideas that have gone from a twinkle in someone's eye to reality and a huge range of activites, fun and games which stimulate your creative juices. (Oh and, of course Wallace and Gromit!)
"Wallace and Gromit present... A World of Cracking Ideas" is sponsored by the Intellectual Property Office, presented by Aardman Animations and produced by SGA.
The exhibition will be here from April 2nd until November 30th 2010.
Last year I made a list of things to accomplish. I completed nearly all of them, and I'm very proud of my progress!
I made a new list of goals for this year. Some of them are new, while others are continuations or re-tooling of last year's goals.
This photo represents a sample of important goals (there are many more than this on my list):
Gym shoe: Work out at least once a week
Stack of books: Read 100 books this year (in 2010 I read 96. so close!)
Photo book: Officially start a business
Yarn, needles, hook: Make a garment
Bottle: Drink more water
Lens: Shoot one photo session per month; work on more creativity with everyday photos
Recipe book (new, courtesy of Holly!): Try a new recipe once a month
Toothpaste: Use my health insurance--dentist twice, new glasses, doctor
Passport: Go new places (Greece in April!!); take a roadtrip
Money: Work on budgeting; keep tracking spending (I've been keeping a spreadsheet for four months now); resume saving (for retirement, emergency fund, honeymoon, future down payment fund)
I didn't miss any days in my 2010 YIP, but I didn't always put in a lot of effort. I will work on that for this year.
A friend and I experimented with wetting old books, shaping and cutting them, then drying them (http://theshoppingsherpa.blogspot.com/2011/01/books-in-bath.html ).
These are the results...

Who are these guys, anyway?
Why are they interested in MY wife?
Why are they brazen enought to go public with it?
Use the TAG wife to see who's interested in YOURS!!!
It may come as quite a shock !!!
When I want to pass the time & dab into my creative "bug", I make bracelets...aka Arm Candy:)) I find myself spending up to an hour or more, browsing the bead isles in Michaels & Hobby Lobby. I LOVE coming up with unique pieces & have passed this hobby onto my kiddos (esp. my 13-y/o son).
This is the result of a fun and creative scrap "game" that I invented, blogged at gefiltequilt.blogspot.com/2013/06/scrap-heaven-come-as-yo.... I like it vertical and horizontal!
Educating Young People for the Jobs of the Future (March 19, 2015)

The Challenge
Salzburg Global Seminar (www.salzburgglobal.org) was founded by young people in 1947 to challenge present and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. Nearly 70 years later, a top priority facing societies in and beyond Europe concerns youth and their economic prospects. Statistics on the true cost of youth unemployment for the global community are hard to come by but one thing is clear. For societies and individuals to prosper and flourish, systems innovations will be needed to equip all young people with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to achieve their potential and perform the jobs of the future.
Strategies for Today:
Austria and Germany have long-standing dual systems of vocational education and worker training and enviably low levels of youth unemployment. In today’s global knowledge economy, is this a strategic asset that can be exported – especially to parts of the world with high unemployment and gaps in the skilled labor market? Could such systems be further improved and what would this mean for public-private sector cooperation? Do vocational educational tracks meet rising employer demands for flexibility and critical thinking?
Needs for Tomorrow:
As digitalization, robotics and artificial intelligence transform the job landscape, the future of work and the role of education will come under increasing scrutiny. With figures such as Google CEO Eric Schmidt calling for “permissionless innovation” and a “culture of creativity”, what practical approaches could boost human capital development across all sectors of society? Will future educational systems need to ‘relearn learning’ and transform teaching? Will the distinction between ‘academic’ and ‘vocational’ become outdated as part of these complex changes? What partnerships between government, research, business and technology could pave the way for tomorrow’s citizens to function in and contribute to radically different economies?
Views from the Inside:
Three speakers on a moderated panel will bring contrasting international perspectives to these critical questions, followed by a debate with invited high-level guests. Panelists:
Mag. Bernhard Reisner, Vice-President for Human Capital, MIBA AG, Laakirchen, Austria
Dr.Friederike Sözen, Director of Entrepreneurial Education, Austrian Federal Chamber of Commerce (WKO)
Dr. Walter Emberger, CEO Teach for Austria
Envisaged outcomes:
Insights and recommendations from the Vienna debate will help to inform Salzburg Global Seminar’s ongoing strategic programs on education, innovation and economic and social sustainability, building on expertise within Austria. We are currently seeking to develop a multi-year intervention with partners from autumn 2015, provisionally entitled Generation Next: Pathways into Work. This will build on Salzburg Global’s earlier three-year series on Optimizing Talent: Closing Educational and Social Mobility Gaps and its complementary programs on emerging challenges for the global economy and social and regional cohesion.

I can't tell you how happy I am in a white room. There is something so calming and "fresh slate" feeling about it. The room was painted by the previous owners a dark, dark gold with dark brown trim and dark brown painted floors. Uggg!

Now already a year ago, I got my hands on these Lego Classic Creativity boxes. Since I intend to do all four of them, here is the green one! This one was a tough one though, with no SNOT bricks included. I actually already got the yellow box to take with me on holiday, se expect photo's sooner or later.
In addition, check out Ross Charnocks's take on the green box!

My second effort. Lately, I love to freehand letters with just scraps of paper or cardboard and a nice sharp pair of paper snips. I've also tried to recycle and use scraps and bits. I started saving 'stuff' to use on my weekly list challenge. I have found so much cardboard and chipboard in the way of boxes and packaging, both plain and beautifully embellished. My storage space for these goodies is overflowing.
The base of this piece is the cardboard backing from Prima embroidered pieces. Most of the letters are cut from patterned paper, but some are from other sources. The 'E' was cut from a USPS flyer and the 'A' from a woodgrain finished Kleenex box. The label shaped piece was also a scrap saved from an earlier project. Inked the edges and used a TH mini attacher to attach a piece of ropey trim for hanging.
Also inked all edges cuz I just have to!
