A couple things...
Tags:
Gotta love modern technology. Simon has been developing a fondness for chatting with Cathy on the computer. A couple days ago he had a full-on "Simon" conversation with her - including singing the ABC's and Itsy Bitsy Spider. As you can see, Cathy was having just as much fun as Simon.
Here's a couple other updates on stuff:
1. Pencil Lines is a cool sketch site to check out. I did a sketch for them this week. Love seeing how each of the designers interpreted the sketch - one of the coolest things about using sketches is totally how different people can make them.
2. Scrap Bowl/Get Croppin Event in VA - February 2007. Sign ups started for this event on Saturday - check out classes from Donna, Margie, and Danelle. I had an awesome time there last year and am so looking forward to going again.
3. There are new stamps available at Cats Life Press. If you have taken a class with me in the past you may know about my affection for these stamps. Yum. And I love that she is located here in Oregon.
4. Tomorrow is election day. Seriously, I can not believe it is really here. It has been such a road this last year and a half. I have tons of thoughts going on in my head - need to get them all together in a more comprehensible manner before letting them out into the universe. There is a lot at stake in this election - locally and nationally. If you live in Oregon make sure you drop off your ballot (we have vote by mail and it is too late to mail your ballot now). And to the rest of you in the US - make sure you vote.
5. I love this: This I Believe (can't you see an entire miniBOOK based on this topic). Here's a link to the specific site: This I Believe. And a direct link to the book: This I Believe (the book)
6. Newsletter coming later today.

First of all.... Go Chris!! Good luck.
I just LOVE Catslife Press. How lucky are you to have them right there?? I got some already...
I'm taking all three of your classes in Tampa this December and I am so exited. Can't wait.
I checked out Pencil Lines and I loved it. It gave me a glimpse into one of the classes and I love it.
Have a great day!

Wow! Thanks for all of the great links! Also, awesome sketch! What tool did you use to create it? I've been using Powerpoint and the jpgs aren't coming out so clear (check 'em out here: http://lizness.typepad.com/a_little_life_workshop/layout_plans/index.html ).
Thanks again, Ali!

Ali,
I am reading "This I believe" (the book) right now. How funny, because I swear I thought of you and how this totally could be a class, album, page, etc. I'm LOVING the book. I am also SO, so hoping that the Edwards family is going to be CELEBRATING the outcome of Chris's election soon! Regardless, so very much to be proud of. Will definitely be out voting in CT. Good luck!!!

I absolutely love those stamps! I want about 6 of them. How do you work with unmounted stamps? I'm interested as they are much cheaper.
