Thanks. Ramblings. Cafe Press.
Tags: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.

I use almost all Creative Memories stuff and the circle (and oval) patterns are probably THE most used of my supplies. Enjoy! So glad to see you use a variety of creative supplies. Love the Cafe Pres stuff too. Of course it's too hard to decide what to buy.......:)

I am loving this layout. I have to scraplift it.. I just want to say I love the emotion that shows through the eyes of your son. Your pictures will be worth so much to you in the future. I love how you take pictures of simple things that he is doing but you capture so much with his facial expressions.. Just wonderful..

Ok, I'm going to go broke buying your book, CD and every single item from Cafe Press!!! Plus now I'm going to have to buy those TT stamps and of course get the MM circle cutter. You are a doll and I automatically love everything you touch :-) Congrats on your new Cafe Press line.
Love,
