Gotta say one more time...

Ali, We lived in Eugene while my husband was going to U of O. I remember the allergies being so intense. I was just sick for 2 months straight. A box of Kleenex a day. I remember seeing people walking around the streets with those painting masks on to prevent breathing in the pollen. I was too young and vain to resort to that but I was so desperate I should have. Miserable!! Hope you feel better. I know what it's like. Highest pollen count in the nation I hear. Take care. -Alisa

Have fun in Iowa City! You'll love it. I live in Altoona, Iowa (a couple of hours west) and unfortunately had prior committments or otherwise I would sooo be there for your appearance. Actually we met at CKU-Minneapolis...besides taking your class, we also had a lenghty chat about the Mall of America and I recommended a couple of cool shops to you.

Hi Ali! I was in Heidis track over the weekend, but enjoyed talking with you and Cathy on Sat. night. Always inspired by your work and your message. I will see you again in Cleveland in July!

Ali, how tall are you? In all the pictures you look so tall compared to everyone else! I suppose they could just be short.... Ü

Have a wonderful trip to Iowa. Again, I look forward to your posts on the subject of autism. I also hope that you are feeling much much better soon! Those allergies sound just awful!

I hear you on the allergies...I know mine are about to hit very soon. Once things get in bloom here in Hermiston. i just read an article about how house plants are suppose to reduce allergines in your home. Im hoping it might help...if I can keep my house plants alive. Hah!

What cute girls you are! Glad you had a great time in Chicago. Hope the rain gives you some relief from those allergies. http://jolenegeorge.blogspot.com/

I love how you are sporting all that flair...How many pieces of flair are you wearing on that ID badge?? This picture is adorable...

Love the new quote!

ps
the photo or your honey and Simon Rocks! HOW CUTE!

2 words for you...allery immunotherapy (shots). It is the only thing that has helped me...such a pain, I know, but worth it. That's my 2 cents!

ACK! My 3 favorite Scrap Mentors all in one photo...I love it! And you all look sooooo cute and relaxed.

So wish I could have been there, can't wait to meet you here in MI next month!!

Great photo...so happy...Ali you look really tall..:) Or Wow, Cathy Z, and Heidi look really short ..:) You guys are awesome, can't wait until I can meet all of you, and take a photo like this...:) Glad that you are home safe...

I will see you this weekend, and I am pumped. A warning: bring some kleenex. Our pollen count in I.C. today is rated HIGH on the weather channel! And it will be nice and sunny and pollen-y all weekend.
See you soon, have a safe flight!

Ali-
just wanted to say it was nice to see you again in Chicago. You taking the time to peruse my album, well, it just made my day. I had to order one of your manifesto shirts...very cool. Look forward to seeing you again in San Jose.

Whoa, are you seriously that tall? ;) Or are they Cathy and HS just that short?

I couldn't agree with you more - Chicago Rocked! It was a pleasure to meet you (again) and see your fabulous album! Hope I'll run into you again at a future CKU. Joey with All My Memories http://joeywhid.blogspot.com/

COME TO TEXAS!!! Haven't you always wanted to see the Alamo??? I will be your personal historical guide...

Hi Ali,
I am sure with all the people that you meet, my name will not ring a bell with you. We met when you were in Orlando with CKU back in July.
You and Donna came to visit our store (Memory Lane). Anyhow, I just want to say THANK-YOU for the time you take to share your knowledge about autism. My nephew has autism. As his aunt that is not around him much, it is helpful to get useful info on a personal level. He is an AWESOME child that really amazes me with what he has learned to do everytime I see him. Again, thanks for sharing your story. It means alot to me personally!

Ali, loved CKU and your album track!I was one of the crazy Reminisce girls scrapping at the empty CKU store table! I hope to stop by and see you at Reminisce this Friday. I have my children this weekend so no classes for me(insert sad face here!) My 14 year old son (with Autism) has a school dance Friday night that I am taking him to and then I think we will stop by and say hi! Everyone is so excited about your visit! I hope you enjoy your stay. Andria, Matt, Cindy, and all the girls at Reminisce ROCK! Thanks for being such a great spokesperson and for helping to spread the news about Autism. Hope to see you Friday! Shelley Haganman

i'm getting ready to head that way, too - can't wait to meet you. =)
