Hanging out.
Tags:Having a nice little break here at my parents house in the Seattle area. Planning to go to a children's museum today and have dinner tonight with the family. Here's a recap of what's been up the last couple of days:
• Taught mom how to use iTunes this morning. And I think I needthis.
• Helped my brother paint my new niece or nephew's bedroom last night while my sister-in-law hung out with Simon.
• Attended an awesome seminar on Thursday morning: Gitomer. Totally inspiring. About sales but even more about life.
• My Dare is posted: The Dares. Love the pages that are on there right now - such great talent and heart and content.
I am also gearing up for a bunch of workshops this summer. Next month I will be in Michigan at The Scrapbook Zone. There are a few spaces still available if you are interested in coming to play.
You can see my full schedule here.
And thanks for all the cool comments on the book post. Lots of new books were mentioned in the comments that I have now added to my reading list.

Breaks at moms are the best arent they? Enjoy!
How is the quality of the Cafe Press product? I have been thinking about doing it for a long while. Your stuff looks great!

To respond to christine - the Cafe Press stuff is wonderful. The web site gives you a gauge of how thick/heavy the fabric is, so you can get a sense of the 'heft' of the item. I have bought from them a few times and have been happy with it all (including, of course, Ali's shirts).
LOVE the Dare. I will have to carve the time out of my weekend to do that.
Cheers!

Love that you are participating in THE DARES, sooo cool, as if you don't have enough on your plate, awesome that you take time to do fun things like that.
Cafe Press Q . . .How often do you restock the totes, every time I check back to see if there are any in stock, there aren't, and I am lovin' every one, they are a must have for me.

Ugh...I am so disappointed. Have been watching to see if you might be coming to an area near me (Memphis, TN). See that you'll be in the Nashville area at the end of July. The crux of it is that I will be in that SAME area with my husbdand for a conference at the END of the week you are visitng, not at the BEGINNING when you will be here. So close, yet no cigar....UGH!
OPne of these days I will get to sit through one of your classes and THOROUGHLY enjoy myself!

I'm also a huge Gitomer fan! Great stuff.
BTW, I don't know why always notice stuff like this, but the cursive letters in your latest header spell out "arf raar"...
my dog wanted me to tell you she agrees one hundred percent with that thought.
Hey! And I LOVE the dare! The layouts are hot stuff too. ;oD

I just stumbled upon your blog the other day, which is bad because I am in the last few hectic weeks of college, and so I was reading over some of your archives. You are such an inspiration! I can't wait for the summer so that I will have time to be creative again. It really makes life so much more meaningful...to be able to express myself!! BTW, I was very excited to see that you can watch You've Got Mail over and over again. It is my go-to movie when I am working on homework and stuff. (I am often made fun of for it! HA)
Thanks for being YOU!

Ali! You're coming to my neck of the woods. Yay!! However, the Scrapbook Zone's website says your event is sold out. It's said that for some time now, actually. Is this correct?
Hope to see you there!

My husband has a new ipod, and I use it in the car when I go out, but I feel the inexplicable need to have my *own*. Even though I'd have little time to use it more than I already use his. There's just something about those darn things...
Can't wait to see you at the Zone!!

Hey Ali! Can't wait to see you @ Scrappin' USA in July! It says Nashville... but it's in Murfreesboro- right outside of Nashville though. : ) I live literally 5 minutes away, so I'm thrilled. The Dare is very thought provoking! Awesome work!

I got to hang with my mom yesterday! It was good fun....Just FYI...there is a fun Market in Renton tomorrow to kick off spring festivities, and since it is supposed to be sunny and warm, it might be a fun thing to do...or you can email me, and I will take you out for coffee!!lol!!
I hope you enjoy your *mini* vacation.

Ali,
I love everything that you do! You inspire my everyday and I thank you. One of the things I have always loved about reading is the ability to find kindred spirits, or souls that speak to me, I see you as one of them. I would like to order pins from your cafepress for students of mine and am wondering if there is a way to order a big lot with different sayings instead of 100 of one. If you can, please let me know! :)

I have to second the notion that you NEED a new video iPod! My fantastic and very generous boyfriend bought me a 60GB one for Christmas... I love it! It's so nice to have my music at hand at all times, plus, it's great for photo storage when I travel! No need to spend a fortune on extra compact flash cards when you have an iPod, and no need to lug the laptop, either. It fits a whole slew of those great big 20D sized pictures :)

I'll be attending the evening class at "The Zone" (Favorites 2005) and I'm really looking forward to it. When oh when will the lesson download for that be up?! :) I'm such a stickler for lesson plans :D
