My daughter and I made our first freezer paper tee today

Since I had to start this blog for school, I am going to use it to share my scrapbooking. (So far it has just been all about me, that narcissism I was afraid of!  It is surprisingly easy to write about myself.)  I used my cricut and design studio to make my first freezer paper tshirt.  I am going to try to figure out how to post the cutfile, in case anyone else has a "soccer princess."  I used the Cricut Lite cart Varsity Letters for the "s ccer," Sports Mania for the soccer ball, Paper Doll Dress Up for the crown and Opposites Attract for the "princess."  Then I glued on rhinestones to the crown.  I thought about getting an irock or something similar but Walmart sells iron on rhinestones and they were only a couple of dollars for a pack of like a hundred.  My daughter did the painting.

Skinner quote

There is one last thing I want to add.  It is Skinner's quote from pg 361: "I do not believe that my life shows a type of personality a la Freud, an archetypal pattern a la Jung, or a schedule of development a la Erikson."  We can use observation, experiments and science to tell so much about a human-height, weight, hair color, eye color, genome, even brain waves.  But quantifying personality is so much harder. No one theorist seems to have all the right answers.  There is still so much for us to learn about ourselves and the human race.  The brain might truly be the "final frontier."
