Tina is so cool.
Tags:You know I have talked about Tina before - she is just wonderful. And so very thought-provoking.
In her blog yesterday she addressed the idea of signature and challenged readers to create their own signature list. Here is mine:
Colour: today = orange...it changes for me often depending on mood and weather
Word I most like to be described as: real
Best meal I cook: it has been awhile since I cooked something that was worthy of being "best" - we have been going for simple around here lately
Best Dessert: cranberry-pear pie
Favourite Book:The Great Gatsby
Outfit: anything with these jeans
Bedtime: I like to go to bed early - 10pm
Sound: silence
Wish: balance...between quiet & loud, old & new, rich & poor, up & down, hot & cold, black & white
Style: how about..."modern-casual with a touch of old"
Word: dude
What I crave: simplicity, honesty, creativity
Surround me with: interesting images & a resting place for my weary eyes

Ali, I'll have to check out Tina's signature list. Her blog and yours are my fave. Those jeans are cute, but I am really digging those pink suede flats they show with them! How's the house coming along? Have you guys found another one? I'd buy your house in a second if we could move to Oregon and get out of so Cal. But I suppose I would miss my family. Ok, so I'm rambling here...have a great weekend!

Hi Ali -- saw that you had no posts to this latest entry of yours and thought I would post to say Thanks! I'm an admirer of your work and think that you have a "real" perspective to the art of scrapbooking.
So here's a thanks for being an inspiration!

Now this is why I visit your website everyday. There is still so much I want to learn. It is true when they say "you learn something new everyday." You offer this through your website. Isn't it cool when someone is affected by something you say in a positive way?
