Hi Ali,
Let me start by introducing myself - my name is Amy and I am all the way down here in Australia. A couple of years ago I learned about scrapbooking for the first time and was really excited about the opportunities it afforded me to be creative while documenting my family history at the same time. I started buying Creating Keepsakes each month because it was by the far the best magazine of it's kind on the market - and still is to this day.
Anyway, through CK I came to learn of yourself and the fantastic work that you do. I ended up typing your name in a search engine so I could see even more of your designs. As a result not only did I come across your blog but was happy to discover the website, Two Peas in a Bucket.
I really enjoy my weekly visits to your blog to hear what you have to say and see all those great pictures that you so have a knack for taking. I especially enjoyed reading the Q&A session that you posted not long ago.
It was funny to read all the request from people for you to come and visit us in Oz, as I was thinking the exact same thing! I can understand that with a young family and other commitments travelling so for away would probably be out of the question. Which leads me to explain the reason why I am sending this email....
I often find myself reading how you have been to such and such place to teach classes for CK-U. How I wish I lived over there so I could take part in the creative process. Alas this is not something that will come true any time in the near future so I thought what would be a great thing for you to do -and that is teaching an online class. This way all of us that don't live in the States can take advantage of your wealth of design knowledge.
Let me know what you think - I would love it if you ran with this idea.
Regards
Amy Ryan
Your son is really cute Ali! Hope you had a wonderful weekend with your family!!
And the idea of the online class is brilliant. I am from Holland...It's nice to see that people all over the world are inspired through your work. Thank you very much for that!!
Hi Ali! What an adorable pic of Simon! He's such a cutie! I love those lashes!

Hey Ali, hope you have a good weekend also. I just had a quick question for you... what type of printer and scanner do you use. I noticed that you have a lot of older photos enlarged and they all seem to look great, mine all seem to be very grainy when they are enlarged. Thanks so much.
Hi Ali, it's been a while since I visited your site and I just felt I had to say how gorgeous your boy is! As the mum of another (particularly!) gorgeous toddler I couldn't resist a word about those eyes -man, they must suck you right in sometimes!! Love the photos and the new graphics.
This just makes me smile. Love the choclate around Simon's mouth. It happens to match his beautiful brown eyes--I'm a sucker for a pair of big brown eyes.

What a cute pic! Those are the best - chocolate covered faces just make you forget calories and head for the fridge yourself!
Happy weekend! :)
