Let's see...

LOVE Send Me On My Way, or as we used to sing it: Simmieonmuhway! :)

I can't wait to meet you at Scrapfest!!!

Ali...loved taking your class and meeting you! Seeing all your stuff in person was fabulous! Thanks for sharing so much with us! So glad you could make it down to TX!
Found this link for the dollhouse we talked about...they have the one I have plus lots more...

have a great week at home!

Welcome back and have fun at home :)

The Aveda foot relief is yummy too!

Ohmigosh... that's right! Luggage restrictions! I'd better check into what restrictions are for crossing the border in a car... hopefully a little more relaxed. Will be coming down from Toronto to play with you @ the Lasting Memories retreat in October!
;-) Can't wait!

I can't wait to take your class this weekend!!!!!! I've been flipping through photos picking out ones I will use for your class! And I LOVE almost everything Aveda. It's always on my Christmas/birthday list! :)

I miss you. That is all.

oh my goodness.... you did not just mention Rusted Root! What a memory- dancing like a total banshee, music turned up way too loud, having soooo much fun. My When I Woke went missing and now, I'll have to find someone else's to fix my fix for a little RR. Their Pittsburgh concerts were always THE best, on New Year's Eve. Fun times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Ali.

Hi Ali - Looking forward to scrapfest this weekend! I wasn't able to sign up for your class, but I'm hoping for an ali sighting. ;)
The weather here sucks lately, so pack long sleeve shirts (and mitts!).

That song is also a favorite for me and my hubby...glad you posted. And I bet Simon looked absolutely adorable in his rain coat!

Welcome Home! Enjoy the rain, we're gonna have more.

Maybe you want to learn to knit...I vaguely remember you mentioning it a while back? Portable, relaxing, productive...think about it.

i love aveda. the hand cream is the best!

Found this very entertaining site and thought of you with your design passion.

Rusted Root! I haven't heard that in quite a while! That was one of my favorite songs back in the day... I get so happy every time I hear it. A friend of mine back in college once said that when she got married, she wanted to walk down the aisle to "Send Me On My Way", actually, she wanted to dance her way down barefoot. Yep, she was quite a character. She definitely created quite the mental picture with that!
So glad to hear that you had fun in TX and that you're back. I totally get what you're saying about the desire to make something but not having the motivation. I've also been pondering something new... I've actually thought about jewelry making. I just can't justify taking on another expensive hobby, but I keep going back and thinking that handmade jewelry would make great Christmas gifts.
Good luck finding the something new that you want to try, have fun at Scrapfest, and I'm SOOO looking forward to your upcoming trip to the East Coast!!! Can't wait to take your classes!

Rusted Root.... I LOVE them! That is an awesome song...

Dear Ali:
I ran across this blog a couple months ago and love to oogle it for the colors. Todays entry is completley fitting for you, and I thought about looking for that essay myself. Enjoy!
