Is there any scrapbooking applications I can download onto my computer for free?
I had this scrapbooking thing on my computer and I think that it came with my kodak camera when I installed the kodak easyshare program. I recently uninstalled it, and I dont have the scrapbook program anymore. Does anyone know of any sites I can do scrapbooking for free?
You can download one from here:

I have a big assignment due right after spring break?
Right now in English (I’m a sophomore) we’re reading Huckleberry Finn. Some of it I have trouble understanding, but once we discuss it in class it’s easier to figure out. We have this project due right after spring break and we have to present it. I really don’t like presenting. This week is the last week before spring break. We have to create a scrapbook on a powerpoint and each slide can have only 2 sentences. We have to cite everything we find (what website we found everything from), including pictures. We have to tell about things we found interesting or that stuck out to us in our topic. The topics to choose from are Mark Twain’s Biography, Slavery During the Time of the Setting of Huckleberry Finn, Hannibal, Missouri, Dialect and Local Color, Mark Twain’s Humor, Mark Twain and the Mississippi River, The Book Banning Controversy, Huck’s Lessons, and Freedom: What Does it Mean?. So far I think I’m going to choose the slavery one, but I’m not sure exactly what to look for. Just slavery during that time? I only have this week to work on it. Also, how can I feel less nervous about the presenting part? Thanks!
focus on slavery during that time, how slavery was shown/portrayed in the book, and your stance on how the book portrayed it [whether they were for or against it in your opinion, and how you feel about that].
EDIT: what helped me during HS presentations with being nervous was just realizing that most of the kids in class probably werent even paying attention to me or what i was doing…lol. theyre most likely thinking about something else and daydreaming.

What can I make out of scrap lumber?
I have a garbage can full of scrap lumber (2×4’s & 2×6’s) most less than 24" in length. I have a table saw, circular saw, miter saw and a drill. I also have some scrap 3/4" plywood. What are some things I can make with this wood?
I hate to see this wood go to waste when I could use it to practice my carpentry skills and possible make something usefull out of it.
Thanks for all your ideas.
I haven’t read any answers yet, but offer this suggestion, and TOTALLY relate.
Better to have a plan first, and assess the lumber available to build an item, or various items in a choice, based on needed material first.
It makes little sense, to me at least, to use scrap, simply to use it, for an item you may not have a use for at all.
Certainly as Practice, scrap is the way to go, but some notion of practical application, might also be a thought.
"Guesstimate" the amount of scrap versus some choices of what you might most be able to use, or need practice fabricating, and proceed.
If your intent is primitive items, or items that may not matter aesthetically, then wack away. If you have more formal practice in mind, IE: various JOINT types, finishing techniques, the way tools function with various wood species, then even if you trash the scrap, you may have accomplished a set goal.
