Shooting/ Scrapbooking/ (and just for the S theme) Sign Language
Posted on Nov. 14, 2008 at 3:11 PM in My LifeEDIT: We went shooting again! -11/18- Here are the videos and pictures of that! Last weeks shooting is below today's shooting.
Here are the videos. The first one is of me shooting the shotgun for the very first time.. It was awesome!!!!
This one is of Brandon shooting his first time. Turn the volume on low, me and mom starting cheering, it's kinda loud :D
Last Weeks Shooting!
First off several weeks ago Me, My Mom, Mike, and Brandon went out in the middle of the desert with a few boxes, a globe, and a milk carton and played target practice! It was rather fun. My mom has two guns. a 3.80 and a .38, if you don't know what those types of guns look like go see my friend Google. Anyway, we went shooting and I hit the target a few times, and other times I just sent dirt flying. It is very hard to aim and shoot, especially with a gun with a fairly good kick. Mom took a ton of pictures and then there are two videos of me shooting and my mom.

Scarpbooking- The art putting random pictures on a piece of paper and making it look half way decent.
Ok so that was my definition of Scrapbooking. I haven't been scrapbook for long and I am not clever or artistic in any way possible. I don't have a "knack" for anything. I just enjoy scrapbooking as a hobby. I wanted to share my scrapbooks and my ideas that I put in those scrap books.. And of course with everything else I post about I have pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My random scrapbooks, I have finished 5 of them...
What I do when I don't really have stickers or something to go with the pictures, I just place pictures in some kind of weird order and just write or draw something on the page:
One of the first scrapbooks I did was redoing Brandon's baby book, which was falling apart, so every picture that was in the album went in a 20 page scrapbook. I quickly ran out of room so I decided to glue a envelope on the page and put random pictures in the envelope, that way it was with the rest of the pictures (like in the album) and it looks kinda cool.
Of course everyone wants pictures of mom, daddy, and baby so I just put this page together with some scrapbook stickers (so fun!):
Now I collected every magazine that had anything to do with Steve Irwin after his death, intervuews with Terri,etc... I had so many magazines my drawer was breaking so I eventually put all the stories together under on cover and made my own magazine, but I wanted to protect them and read them whenever I wanted to, so I put them in a scrapbook! :)
I also collected High price fashion magazines. so put some collage together:

I have been learning American Sign Language for the past 3 months and I have really been enjoying it. I am learning signs that I can sometimes put to christian music. I now know the basic sign language for "How Great Thou Art" and I have been really enjoying it.. *oh did I say that already?* Well whatever! If anyone else knows sign please let me know and maybe we can enxchange videos of us signing to each other :D Anyway, I have found a great sign language website. Now there are some inappropriate things on the website but otherwise they have a whole bunch of religious signs and etc...... It's called:
ASLPro
Edit: I got to talk to a deaf man yesterday! It was so nerveracking and exciting, we actually were able to understand each other and "talk". He told me all about his family and I told him about mine, and we talked about church and God,etc. During sign class he said to my teacher (in sign) 'She is a very good signer', talking about me. I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited to have him say that about me cause it gives me hope that I can learn more!!!!! :)
Check it out!

Hey!!
It has been awhile since I've commented you...sorry. Anyway, things are doing well. How is your life?? Hope you are doing well!
In regards to sign language, good job!!! I've been teaching myself ASL for about 3 years now and I've never talked to a deaf person...I think I would be nervous too :) I love using ASLpro. It's really good. Well we should talk more about it and I have lots of tips :) I'm prbly going to be putting up a video of me and few youth friends I taught a christmas song in ASL. It turned out pretty well...
TTYL!

Hi there!
Wow, sounds like you are doing good with your sign language! I know some... first started learning when I was in like 4th grade and was in Sunday School with some deaf kids, but haven't learned much new since then. :-) I have co-taught the sign language class at the summer camp where I work, though! Keep studying, cause it sounds like you're learning a lot!
I hope you had a merry Christmas, and Happy 2009! :-)
