Scrapfest was
Tags:totally cool. I taught three classes: Perspectives, Today You, and Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Always. Everything went pretty smooth - met lots of amazing women who were willing to take some risks, get messy in one of the classes, let go, and pretty much just have fun. Really enjoyed my time there. Thanks to Andrea and Jayme for running such an organized event.
And just a heads up that I will be doing a chat on Tuesday night, October 3rd (8pm Pacific) with Love 2 Scrap. Had a chance to meet the ladies from there this weekend - very cool group.
Right now I am hanging out in Seattle at the airport, waiting for my flight to Eugene (Paolo where are you?). Had a bowl of chowder from Ivar's, picked up the Sunday NYTimes and a book from Borders and here I sit. I was checking out the little massage station set up out in the terminal - may have to go visit them as well.
Also, the first issue of the AEzine/Life Artist Newsletter should be hitting your email box this evening sometime. Hope you enjoy it - it is totally going to be something that will evolve and grow as time goes on - let me know if there is a topic you would like to see me cover in the future.
Looking forward to a couple weeks at home with the boys.

Hi Ali...so love the AEzine! Glad you selected miniBOOKS as the subject as I'm focusing on them lately, for all the reasons you mentioned. Thanks for the great tips on storage and reminding me that these miniBOOKS are for my 4 year old to hold and enjoy NOW, not just when he 'grows up'!
