Bad News & Good News

Oh, Ali. I hope your mom is near by. My oldest daughter, now 28, says, that even now, the person she wants most when she's sick, is mom! Lots of rest, snuggy p.j.s, and a permanent cup of hot tea!
I have enjoyed looking at responses to your challenge. You can see mine on my blog. The journaling-I tend to be verbose-is on a "sub-blog"-all new to me-but the links work!
Take care!

Hi Ali,
I'm sorry you're not feeling well!
I've been ill to this last week... some kind of stomac flu! But I've recovered just in time to get started on your challenge. I'm not completely done yet, so I'm posting it tomorow, if that's oke!
Wishing you all the best, and hoping you get well soon!!

WOW, I guess I had a LOT more to say (and show) than I realized. This was a *wonderful, wonderful* activity! Thanks so much for encouraging us to dig deep into where we've been and where we are now as life artists. Thanks Ali! The evolution of ArtsyMama can be see here

Feel better!

Poor Lamb! : ( I was signed up for one of your classes this weekend, but I'm happy to wait until January. Just take care of yourself : )

I think this challenge was more fun in getting the chance to look at old layouts with a perspective on why I was looking.

I have posted my first LO ever .... i really enjoyed your words of wisdom this week, you must have ESP as I was totally thinking about it myself - funny! Hope you are feeling heaps better soon, lots of vitamin C for you my dear!

you can really tell in your time line how your scrapbooking has evolved in to you. And not just the way we were taught from Creative Memories. I love scrapping now it's so darn cool.

whoops for the above I went to one of the links from your deal and was looking at a gals stuff, next thing I know I posted on Ali's site. Sorry Ali. Hope the flu bug leaves your house without visiting your husband and son.

Ali,
This is my first time to complete one of your challenges. I have been getting your AEzine each week and have totally enjoyed your insite and inspiration! This challenge in particular spoke to me and has really made me stop and think...I need to play more and not worry so much about how things are going to turn out. I need to have fun!
I have yet to get my own blog up and running (waiting on my Baby cakes to get it going!). So I posted my LO on 2peas. Here's the link: http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/pg.asp?gallery=1&cmd=display&layout_id=1027161
Hope you get feeling well soon!

We just got back from our first vacation to Disneyworld with our 2 little girls 2 days ago. Just read that you are going and I'm sure you'll really enjoy yourselves. We had a great time and the girls loved it. Our youngest is 2 yrs. and she is a relaly sensitive little one, so it took her a few days to really start getting into it. She never liked the characters (too big and scary) so we just stayed clear of them. The rides are great, especially peter pan and the whinnie the pooh rides. Hope you have a great time and that Simon enjoys it! Anne

This is my first challenge. I keep a journal scrapbook so this will go in that book. Thanks for the challenge and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
