Morning & Updates.
Tags:Morning. Thanks for all the awesome posts yesterday regarding Chris' run for the Oregon legislature. So very cool.
Here's the lowdown on what's happening the next couple weeks:
• Tonight I am chatting at Scrap Girls (6pm Pacific). Looking forward to chatting about combining digital & paper scrapbooking, printing photos, and anything else they ask. They have cool digital kits and elements over there as well...especially like this brush set (you know I am all about date related stuff).
• Tomorrow I head over to Apropos in Spokane, Washington for a couple classes on Saturday. Staying wtih Stacy Julian (who is also attending one of my classes - can you imagine?). Totally excited. I will be doing a make & take Friday night in the store from 7-9pm so even if you are not signed up for the classes feel free to come by and say hi.
• Next weekend I will be in Portland, Oregon for the Creating Keepsakes Oregon Convention. I am doing a Backstage Party on Friday night: you can expect a cool presentation about scrapbooking and a goody bag filled with a bunch of my favorite things right now. I will also be in the CK booth on Saturday (not sure on the exact times yet) chatting and hanging out. Love this event in my home state.
• The following weekend I head to Chicago for CKU-A. Been spending time getting ready to meet my new family - who have all been working really hard on their homework - this is totally one of my most favorite things I do...and Cathy will be there!
• Furiously working on articles today.
Hoping for a super productive, good day.

Any snow down your way? Portland metro has snow everywhere. My son's eating it up! Hoping for a crafty productive day. I'll be at the convention too meeting up with a bunch of Scraptalk gals...maybe I'll run into you too.

Ali - the infant outfits from the Netherlands you sent us were unbelievably cute. We just don't do baby like that in America! Truly the first gift I have recieved that made me ache to get this little one out of my belly and into the outfit you sent. I love white, so crisp and perfect - but you knew that! I'll call you tonight!

HI... I'm a little too addicted to you blog. I'm checking in all the time to see what cool things you've added. Have always loved your style and am getting tons of ideas... can't wait to see your stuff for jenni bowlin's march kit! I saw that you will be in FL in Dec. on your calendar... is that true?? I checked the store website, but they didn't have anything posted. Just looking for details to plan ahead! Thanks~Vanessa

I'll be at the Convention in Oregon and then in your track at CKU... and if I hadn't just moved from Spokane I'd be seeing you there too... Just wanted to give you a heads up so you didn't think I was stalking you :)

Hi Ali!!!
I am a designer from scrapgirls and just wanted to say thanks so much for the chat last night (even though I was more of just a lurker than anything)...it was great to hear your ideas and for you to communicate so many inspirations to us. Thanks again.

Hey, Ali! I just wanted to tell you how freakin' inspiring your Studio A column is in CK. I looooove it!! I'm coming to CKU-A Chicago and you've inspired me to do a scrapbook on the road...can't wait to meet you and take a picture with ya! So excited! I just got my April CK today and you've inspired me to look around me RIGHT NOW and take in all those precious little moments...from my daughters toys all over the floor to her messy little face. Thank you thank you thank you!!
