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.

Your art always makes me smile, sigh, rejoice, & feel glee. Your handwriting always adds such a touch--so much is contained of YOU in it. And Simon is so precious. Each and every time I come to your site I'm inspired by you as a mother. You are such a wonderful mother, Ali! And HORAY for the store. I love the LIFE Artist shirt. Sooo am gonna get one of those. And the DELIGHT in the everyday. Such good reminders!

Ali!!! Your shop is wicked sick! I just about lost my mind when I saw all the excellent Life Artist stuff. And, what is it about circles lately, they are popping up all over my LOs these days. You keep up what you are doing. I love your creativity and your spirit.
