Comments on: Are Scrapbookers Right Brained or Left Brained?

Similar to you Denise I always considered myself a left brained person. But I’m firmly convinced that scrapbooking (especially digital scrapbooking) has ‘built up’ the right side of my brain and really developed a creative side in me that I never knew I possessed.

OMG, first Laura, when you “played some more” she started “art dancing” (and if that ages me, so be it, lol)!
i tried and tried to get her to go counter, then i gave up, scrolled down to read some more, looked up and she was going counter, but as soon as she saw me looking, she went back to clockwise. Cheeky gurl!
If you ask me to describe myself, i would definitely describe MYSELF as left brain–not a creative bone in my body. But you know, i think scrapbook designing may have started to “soften” that a little. My mind “stays” in scrapbook design mode even at work (it is driving my student employees, to whom i am TRYING to pass on a little of the creative thinking business) it’s driving THEM nuts. But i AM looking at some things quite a bit differently than i was a year ago.
Thanks for the light, Karen! Glad you’re back up. I have been so busy (and i used some of your wordart on my son’s graduation LOs that can be found on my blog) that i was completely UNAWARE of your difficulties until i started sifting my non-work email for the last 3 weeks and discovered that i was missing 2 weeks of the newsletter; discovered why when i started reading. So, glad you’re back. I haven’t felt any untoward effects of your hacker, so with thanks and praise, your database was well protected. Good to see you back. Thanks for your lovely work.

This is so cool! I can make her turn any way I want. It’s amazing how this works!!

Wow, I could be looking at her dancing one direction and then for no reason at all she reversed her direction. Now I know why I never seem to get anything done. Guess my brain just keeps flip-flopping, ha. This was very interesting, brains are peculiar things!

Hey Laura and Antoinette, maybe you’ve got both sides of your brain working at once. That’s got to be good, hasn’t it?

Very weird! I was convinced she was turning counter-clockwise, took my eyes of her to read the survey and suddenly she turned clockwise.

Yes I found it surprising when I first did it Seona.

I found by really concentrating I could get her to turn the other way. But then When I tried to make that happen at another time it wouldn’t work. I guess it just depends on which bits of your brain are most active at the time.

Wow, that’s really freaky… I’d always considered myself a left-brain person, but not only do I see her turning clockwise, I actually can’t even get to grips with how you could possibly make it look like she’s turning counter-clockwise. Feeling slightly confused now.
