Just wanted you to know that I got my Nov CK yesterday and your column was so inspiring! I love your take on everybody's work. Those were some awesome unique ideas and I love it.

Can't wait to start this project...looks like such fun! I already have a pic of my morning coffee cup...its a start!

ooooooooooh, i'm so envious! (as i'm sneaking at peek at this blog while still in my office cubby, just before leaving for the day - i'm THAT hooked!) i hope to have a day very soon when i can really dive in and get my hands dirty creating! i'm missing it so much and all of these minibooks are really SO good!!! way to go girls! :)

I'm like you - I really LOVE those days! I want to get my mini book finished from your ezine! I love the ideas you come up with! TFS!!!

I blogged about passions today.. one was you guessed it, scrapbooking!
ciao.... glad you had a fun creative day.. aren't those the best?

ali, i am having a godawful time trying to find that amazing fontwerks date stamp you seem to be so fond of. any leads? :/

i love scrapbooking too. i wish i had more time to do it.

thanks, ali. right back at you. i got to spend about 4 hours today, with a good friend, creating away. it felt so good, too! i must have gotten those vibes, so i'm sending some up your way!
cheers!

Scrapbooking rocks! I love having the perfect way to combine the photos I love to take, the stories I want to share, and a way to let my inner artist out.

And thank you for giving us the inspiration! You rock, sistah!

Hey Ali!
LOVED your minibook challenge. Not only did I create a cool album very quickly, I also learned a huge lesson. I decided to do one of my 6 year old son Vince. I got the minibook together and wanted Vince to write in it so I could get his handwriting. Vince doesn't always talk in complete sentences (he is on the autism spectrum). I was literally telling him what to write because I wanted the album to be "pretty". I wanted him to write in more details. He was resisting me and wanted to write what he wanted. All of a sudden I realized what I was doing to him. I could picture you telling me "It is ok..." And I listened. This was Vince's album and he was going to write what he wanted to write. I had to help him with spelling. He wrote everything with just very little prompting from me. And I LOVE it. It's a true picture of how he thinks out loud.
Love this idea so much that everyone in the family is getting one done. I'm working on mine and my 3 y/o daughter. Even my husband is working on his own! Of course I put his album together but he choose what pictures he wanted in it and I'm making him write his own thoughts down in his book.
Thank you Ali for the inspiration and yet another life lessoned learned from you!!!

"Life Art" is so true. I always think of this as mixed media art. I so want a day to have the opportunity to spend the day creating. And since I haven't had one since last weekend, the mini book challenge is still waiting for me. Sometimes, life interrupts art.

I love minibooks too. They give me a feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT. I just had to write and tell you that I have a MAJOR case of pumpkin envy....

Can I tell you that I love scrapbooking too and one of the reasons I love it is because of you. I think it is wonderful to have someone like you give us the inspiration and direction that I so much need. My favorite moments are when I discover something new, whether it's a technique, product, journaling...whatever it is, it keeps me going.
Creating makes me happy. And I have evidence of that sitting on my coffee table (the album we made in class at Get Croppin in February).
