WHO'S MORE CREATIVE? Right or Left-Handed People

Survey says: 45% say right-handed people are more creative 40% say left-handed people are more creative 15% say that they think they're equally creative From surveying people and observing people I've learned that it's about equal. Some people are more artistically, and others more intuitively. Here are 2 interviews I did of my cousins. I asked them to bring pictures they had drawn, so something they could show that describes their creativeness. They both forgot.



Scott has written a book. It's called The Trust Factor. You can find it at http://www.trustfactorbook.com/
 

Eric has his own tattoo parlor in his basement, where he does tattoos. Here's a link to look at some of the tattoos he's done. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ebb-and-Flow-Ink/210384789005737?sk=wall

Birthday Overload!

It's the month of November. Do you know what this means? It means that the majority of my immediate family has their birthdays.

Just in my immediate family there are 4 birthdays in six days. Three sisters (two are twins), and my Mom. My extended family I have at least 4 cousins, 1 aunt and 3 uncles. I've stopped keeping track.

One of my uncles and one of my aunts that have birthdays this month are South Paws. I only got a picture of my aunt though. My uncle celebrated his birthday with his own family. What a shocker? Right? :p

Tonight we're celebrating my sisters, and mom's birthday. Unfortunately, none of them are South Paws. But there's lots of partying. Here's a few pictures from tonight's party.

Katie: born Nov. 21, Tammie: born Nov. 23, Mandy: born Nov. 19

The Birthday Cake that my Dad made for my mom and sisters.

This is one of my uncle who's birthday is Nov. 8

I almost forgot. When looking for presents I searched Bing for November birthdays. I was hoping I could find some kind of interesting presents that I could make. Mostly what I found was sites famous people born in November. Here's a couple sites of the sites I looked at.

http://www.giftypedia.com/Celebrity_Birthdays_in_November this site has the birthstone name wrong. The birthstone of November is Topaz, the picture of the brown is correct though.

Hope you find who has November birthdays as interesting as I did.

South Paw Links

As I was reading over the hard copy of the American Profile article I posted I couple weeks ago, I found two links that I thought were cool.

The first one http://www.beinglefthanded.com/ has all these facts, tests, and lists of famous South Paw's. Did  you know Einstein was one, and Lewis Carroll the author of "Alice in Wonderland." Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, and Robert Redford are too.

The second on I found is https://www.leftyslefthanded.com. This is a store's website based in San Fransisco. It specializes in all things left handed. I'm amazed at everything it sells and wish I made more money so that I could by some of this stuff. Christmas is almost here, maybe I'll get something from Santa. We'll see.

I hope you check these links out, even if you aren't a South Paw. You'll see how many different things there are between right handed and left handed people.

Finally got my scanner working!

These are the pictures I was trying to post a couple weeks ago; when my scanner wasn't working. It's working now and I'm so glad. It took me hours to figure out what was wrong with it.

When we started this blog, I had no idea what I was doing. I was so confused and frustrated with what my theme was going to be. When I finally picked a theme, I asked my cousin to help me understand what I needed to do and how to do it.

I went over to her house and she helped me with my blog. She didn't just help me, I helped her with her homework too. It was an even trade, although she had more fun helping me with my homework.

This is one of my left-handed cousins.

I took this picture when we were eating lunch. I tried catching her off guard but she turned around just before I took it and made this face. She laughed at it afterwards. Even when I told her I was going to post it because I had to post pictures I took on my blog.

This is my cousin's daughter. She's drawing me a picture to hang on my fridge. This is after she sat on my lap and had me read 4 or 5 books to her.

We added another South Paw to the family. Wonderful! The world could always use more of  us.

American Profile

I came across this article in "American Profile" a couple of weeks ago.

It talks about a left-handed teacher in Missouri. I was so thrilled for the left-handed students in her class. I wish I had teacher's as cool as her when I was in elementary.

Hope you take time to look at this article. I thought it was interesting.

If anyone finds anything similar to it, please let me know.

Stupid Electronics!

I visited my cousin the other day. She was helping me with this blog. She is left-handed too. I was going to upload a picture of her but my scanner isn't working.

I've tried all day to get it to work to no avail. I've removed it. Reinstalled it. And nothing works.

In the past few days this has happened with a bunch of times. Why can't things just work like they're suppose to?

I'm calling customer support tomorrow. And being put on hold for an hour. I hate when electronics won't work!

All About Me

My name is Amelia Brandley. I am the only LEFT HANDED, South Paw, person in my immediate family. However, in my extended family there are 5 more. There are over 100 people on my father's side. That includes aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins.

My family is a typical Utah family. My father's side is from Alberta, Canada. My mother's side is from Northern Utah.

In the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" the main character says that she has 25 cousins. I just laugh. As long as I can remember I've always had more than that.

The best thing about having a huge family is that we  have lots of parties. There's a party for just about every occasion. Birthdays, baptisms, ordainment's, missionary homecomings or farewells and many more.
