Thanks. Ramblings. Cafe Press.

I put this layout together a couple weeks ago as an example of a way to play with Technique Tuesday's super awesome Functuation stamp set. They generously donated a set to each person in my Backstage Party at the Portland convention. Thanks again guys.
And yep, as you can see, I am all about the circles right now...and the Creative Memories Circle Cutter. I picked one up when I was in Virginia and I am seriously in love with it - I got to put away the bowls I was tracing to make circle shapes. Watch for more layouts with circle cut photos in the magazine in the coming months.
Simon and I had a great time at lunch with friends yesterday. We met up for pizza...felt so good to just relax while the kids ran and went crazy in the play area. I miss that part of not working so much...the daytime get togethers with other moms and kids. That connection. Loved it - thanks guys - excited to do it again.
And, I opened up a little shop at Cafe Press with some feel-good, Life Artist products. Check out the AE Manifesto line of stuff: includes a graphic with all those things I find myself saying in classes over and over. Cool little reminders to keep it all in perspective. My plan is to add new things in there periodically - as the inspiraiton strikes. Sign up for the newsletter and I will let you know when new things are added.
Back to work today...lots of things on my list.

This a great layout, the cycles gives me a feeling like the layout refers to time, like as a clock and your line at cafepress is very inspirational, as always.

Do you ever make an ugly layout? This is absolutely beautiful! Love the circles and wouldn't you know it, I gave away my Creative Memories circle cutters last year, knowing I'd never like that look again... Geesh! I signed up for the Cafe Press newsletter. Very cool stuff. Great idea!

Okay, could you just stop being so dang cool? Everytime I pull up your blog and see a new beautiful "something something" I just want to rip my hair out! Everything you create is just gorgeous...I am always inspired to create after I see what you've been up to. But seriously, my self-esteem can't take anymore...could you just tone it down a little bit...not be quite so incredible?! :) Ali rocks.

Ali-
I love your products on that site. Everything is cool - especially the Manifesto line. My sister-in-law is an artist and this gives me some cool gift ideas for birthday/christmas/just because. I definitely will be getting some stuff for me too.
As always - thanks for all the inspiration you send our way.
