App-O'-Lantern

Yes, I did carve that awesome pumpkin to represent a bead from our app, Let's Bead Friends, And yes again, it is a little early for carving pumpkins in my household. But, this fabulous "contest" that can be found www.appolanterns.com had me rushing out to buy a pumpkin at 8:00p.m.(at the grocery store no-less) with the goal of posting the app-o'-lantern by 10:30! Wasn't far off, the polka dots were relatively easy using an old fashioned apple core. The beading cord was the rope from an old swing found in the shed. It was the placement and lighting that had me stumped, there I was straddling two chairs with one flash light strategically propped up on the table, while a second flashlight was between my knees.... Oh yea, this was safe, I wasn't falling down that night, Oh no, I was on a mission with a deadline. After 50 or 70 plus pics using two different cameras I finally achieved a satisfactory rendition, and was off to the computer to post it. Luckily this was easy as I am now an up and coming computer geek. Thank you Andrew for making it all worthwhile by posting my app-o'-lantern to the contest site the very next day!

But seriously, we educational app developers are now banding together to help out one another with the guidance of Lorraine Ackerman and her hot site, momswithapps. Hold on to your apps!
