<\/a><\/p>\nAnother Wednesday and another day in the studio… yes dear ones, I spend some hours in the studio so come on in to see what I created…<\/p>\n
Before I show you the latest, here’s a golden oldie<\/strong> scrapbook layout \u2013 lifted from one of my old scrapbook albums.<\/p>\n (I don’t create ‘traditional scrapbook layouts’ anymore but every Wednesday I dive into my albums and lift a ‘golden oldie.’ The layouts I pick are random, YOU – blog readers – name the number of the album and layout to show. Let me know in a comment which album you want me to open next week<\/strong> and what layout I should show… )<\/p>\n This week\u2019s request came from Nan G<\/strong><\/em> – from\u00a0 – Froggy Designs<\/a> who asked me to open album 7 and show layout #31. {click on the image to enlarge}<\/p>\n Oh, haha, now this is quite a story! I made this layout in 2009 and the journaling reads:<\/p>\n “Why should someone in Gods name want to know the decimals of pi from the head? But NO, Nout challenged himself and my little mathematics wonder – even in his circle of friends he’s notorious for his mathematical skills – started to cram the numbers into his head. For months, he had a little paper in his pocket with the numbers on it and he used every free minute to drum yet another line of numbers into that little head of his. Just like that. During lunch break at school. During dinner… en he managed! Boy did he manage! <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n He came quit a long way. A very, almost impossible long way… And so here I am, the mother of a son who can recite pi from the head. Up to 480 decimals!”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n If you want to read more and see detail photos, the old post with this layout, from May 2009, can be found HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last week I told you that I participate in Tammy Garcia’s Index-Card-A-Day<\/a> 2013<\/p>\n I showed the first three cards (made with the challenges Tammy gave) in this post<\/a> but after that, I threw the challenges out the window and turned to my old, familiar way of creating collages on the index cards. It feels more relaxed and fun to not be bound on prompts and create them my own way. Here’s one I made yesterday and I submit this one not only to ICAD but also to Glue it Tuesday<\/a>.\u00a0 (I will show more index cards later this week.)<\/p>\n There is also a facebook group<\/a> for the ICAD 2013 event, but I have not yet uploaded my cards there. In fact, I haven’t been around in groups and on forums and I did not visit my blogfriends as much as I used to. This is the season for outdoors activities (I go for long walks with my beloved or sit in the garden) and so I spend less time at the computer.<\/p>\n I did pay a bit more attention on my studio last week though… and here’s what my desk looked this morning when I took a photo for WOYWW<\/p>\n (Don’t you have no clue what that funny acronym stands for? Hop over to The Stamping Ground<\/a> for all the details about that and the blog links for desk hopping. Come on, join the deskers – take a photo of your desk, add your link to the list and start hoppin’ around the world. It’s fun!)<\/p>\n WOYWW #210<\/strong><\/p>\n To the right, you see envelopes holding ATCs the mailman delivered as a result of the WOYWW-ATC-swap. I received four now. I should get some more but it is called “snail mail” for a reason \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n The little treasures I received<\/p>\n From AliPeeps<\/a><\/p>\n From Christine<\/a><\/p>\n From Maisie Moonshine<\/a><\/p>\n From Scrappymo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nApart from the fact that it is in any case impossible – the decimal representation never ends or repeats – it is good-for-nothing. Isn’t knowing the fact that the value of pi is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space enough? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
