The { A } List: Volume 1 Issue 1

Ali-
You are just so cool. The kind of person that I think would be really fun to talk to. I like your outlook on things and have loved checking out the "stuff" you think is cool. Stuff I may have never found on my own. Thanks!

Love how full your life is! You can make a list so wonderful!

Dude - I soooo need to get Brad to do the same thing with his closet. ha!

Ali
Just love reading about the
things you love right now.
I also really like how you add
pictures so I can associate a visual.
Happy Tuesday :)

I was just telling some of my girlfriends last night how much stuff I was being introduced through all these cool blogs...I thank you, however my wallet is not so happy! =) Thanks for sharing your favorites...you just get cooler and cooler lady!

Love lists! Love being shown what's out there. Love getting a reminder of what needs to be done.
Can't get half the stuff over here, but it's great to get reminders of a time gone past :-) Makes me happy!

Great list. I wish my library had that book!
Good job on cleaning up the studio. Cleaning up my workspace is a balm to my frazzled soul, I always seem to be more creative starting with a blank canvas.
Happy Tuesday

What is it with men and their clothes from high school? Love your scrap studio.

I'm with you about the lists - I love my lists and I think a notebook would be great, and you could even then have a list of your lists!! I found my Daily Desktop Planner a great sanity saver, because it is in full view, I don't forget things anywhere near as much.

Ali,
Speaking of your love of blogs... check out the Oregonian's Food section today. The cover story is all about how bloggers are sharing recipes!

Ali---you are an amazing girl! Don't know how you find all the cool things you do without spending all day on the computer! You have a knack for finding the coolest stuff. Thanks for sharing with all of us...

Move over, O List... make room for a monthly A List ;)
For the list-loving PDA addict, I submit ListPro http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.htm

Ali- Although I don't know you . . .I am anxious to meet you! You sound like such a beautiful person. Your journaling inspires me to create pages of my own based on things that you have mentioned. I look forward to reading what you wrote . . .
Thank you!

Thanks so much for the list! You manage to find some of the coolest places. I especially loved the Pantone site. I think I've found a good color pallette for the house.

Ali~I'm now officially addicted to your blog, and all the other cool ones I've discovered through this one! I had no idea this 'underworld' existed. Just loving all the ideas & finds I would never have come across otherwise. I went out and bought 'Encyclopedia' the other day after reading about on Tina's blog.. fantastic book so far. Now if I could only get my dh to throw out his old Lacoste shirts, I'd be in business.;) Thanks for this great diversion in my day!

Ali,
I found your website and blog last night as I was just wandering aimlessly around the web trying to find some information about an idea book. Anyway, I was up for hours reading through your posts and I just have to tell you that I am so incredibly inspired by you. Your amazing talent, your courage and strength, and your remarkable sense of humor are all such wonderful quatlities that have inspired me - both in my scrapbooking and in my personal life. Since I purchased your book, I have changed the way I scrapbook. I now scrapbook "for" my child, not just about him; I talk to HIM through my journaling. The pages I create are a legacy for him, not for anyone else and you really opened my eyes to that. Reading through your posts I discovered that your son was recently diagnosed with autism and I admire your strength and courage in the way you've dealt with it. I don't know that I could do the same. Thank you for being an amazing scrapbooker and an amazing person! I hope to meet you when you are in Minneapolis for CKU and shake the hand of the woman who has inspired me so much. Take care.

Ali~Your just magic, you bring a special light to this Aussie girls' heart. Thanks for this! :)

Hey Ali ... I also just started reading Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life - great read!!
Enjoying your weblog...miss you and my other GG friends!
