Hi Ali! Thanks for the aezine - I've been looking forward to it all day! Glad you got home safe! Kim

What a very cool photo!

I know exactly where that sign is in Auckland. I was just there on Monday. Hilarious :-)

That really is a cool photo!!!
I love the latest newsletter too - I'm so glad you've covered more on photography. I've always wanted to know how to do a photo collage and thanks to your instructions I'm doing one right now!!! I don't have photoshop - I have Arcsoft Photostudio which came with my camera but I've managed to adapt your instructions and it's working - WOOHOO!!! I'm so happy, now I won't waste so much photo paper! I'll definitely be doing the challenge this week :) Thanks!

OMgosh!! i LOVE the sign ali :) what eye candy!!!

WOW, what a kewl photo. thats just incredible. I found a pickle one while holidaying last week. Gotta love a good sign. Found some fun ones while in Utah last year.

Just checked out the website for the Woman's Show. Make sure to get to the fireman's fashion show AND the chocolate/wine tasting! LOL!!!!!
Love the newsletter. Hoping to actually accomplish the challenge this week!

just wanted to let you know I am loving the newsletter and hope to try out the Photo Gathering challenge this weekend! Thanks for all the inspiration and answers!

Ali...I am loving seeing you in my mail box..Thank you for the Adobe photoshop help! I can use all the help I can get! :)
You truly help people create from their hearts! Carrie

I know that all too well...they accidently listed us in the scrap metal section of the yellow pages. OMGoodness, at the call we now get. Great photo.

Ali, you're one more reason I'd like to live in Portland.
Anyway, I got the wonderful newsletter last night. Love that sign as well.

I love how you see art in the most obviouse and non-obviouse of places. That picture might have been passed up by many scrappers because our creative eye still needs some fine tuning. Thanks for posting a perfect example of how to think OUTSIDE of the box. NO distractions in art people...it's all around us!

I love the picture.Totally you.
glad you made it home!

Finished all the journalling as well. And added it to my blog. Total inspired now. Thanks Ali.

It said post on the 18th but also said Friday. If this is the wrong place, I will add it Friday... if not, here is the photo gathering challenge. I needed to jump in and do it when I read about it or it would end up like the others, a good intention that I never pulled off. I appreciate your encouragement and love for scrapping!

Thanks for all the info in the latest newsletter.
For the woman who wrote in about her young girls wanting layouts of all their occasions, while she'd rather scrap the 'moments'---I just wanted to add that she can hand them the photos and some supplies and say go for it!
Never too young to start---and a great way to get older photos out of their boxes.

Ali, glad to see that you are thus far not leaving the blog world. Times are changing for many, but I am so glad to see you still writing as often as you can.
I appreciate you and your work so very much. Thank you. Thank you, for sharing your life with me and with all the other readers. We are so grateful that you take the time to fit us into your daily life.

OH MY GOSH!
NO WAY!
OK That sign in in HUNTLY Polly soory not in Auckland and it unsed to read E-Scrap as in Eichler scrap as in MY EX BOYFRIENDS DAD'S metal recycling yard! Hahahhahahahahaha OH MY GOSH SO FUNNY!

Ali--Had such a chuckle when I saw the picture. My husband and I own a Scrap Metal Recycling yard and it is my dream to one day open a Scrapbooking store. We always joke about how we're both into "scrapping."
Thanks for posting
