A cottage on the coast? What fun!!! Thanks for sharing your fun and can't wait to see pixs. Your boy looks like about around my boy's age...and I can relate to your stories!

Sonds like good family fun! Glad to see your holiday season is rich with love and adventures. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Sounds like a wonderful relaxing break. Just what you'll need to get back to your everyday life when it's all done!

So glad you get some relaxation time! Take care and I hope you're feeling better. (PS Love the photo from your previous post -- so cute.)

Enjoy your time, Ali!

awesome to hear you are enjoying the *break*
peace.

Happy Thnks Giving Ali,
I love that you guys have a holiday dedicated to giving thanks and appreciating the good things in your life. Can't wait to see pics of Simon and 'Harry.' I just got the December issue of Creating Keepsakes and I LOVE the page you did on your brother with Henry. It made me cry.
Enjoy your break.

Hi Ali,
I am so glad to hear you getting some down time with your two men. That is wonderful to know. I bet they just love having mom around for awhile. Enjoy the rest of the week.

Have a very good time Ali!
You need it!

Hi ALi;
I have an autistic nephew and I admire my sister and her husband for taking care of him so magnificently. It seems like the admiration should also include your husband and you.
It always amazes me how Shoham (my nephew), who's autistic, shows much more sensitivity and warmth towards family members and also asks "to hold" the family's babies all the time. Shoham is our angel of pure goodness and I think Simon is yours.
I wanted to note that you have inspired me with your beautiful creativity much before I have found out about Simon, but now I think that you need so much sensitivity for dealing with day-to-day life with him, that no wander your art is just shining.
Happy to incorporate your designs in my life.. I bought both your books and I'll buy the third and so on.
Yours,
Avital, Israel

Ali
have a wonderful holidays !
love
Mimi

Sounds wonderful, enjoy!

Ali, I hope you don't mind me being off topic here. I want you to see what I did! I've commented twice on your blog that I was only barely grasping the layering of stamps concept. I still wasn't comfortable with it.
Then on the last layout I completed, which I just posted to my blog, I realized I was doing it, except with rub-on's and typed text as well as with stamps! I'd love for you to take a look at your influence on my newest favorite page.

I think my main problem now is that I haven't bought stamps in a long time, and since my last purchase, I have really developed my personal style. I need new stamps that really fit me. Thanks for being such a major influence in the transformation of my "life art."

Family and time with them is oh so good!
Totally know what you mean about forgetting the cord!

Such cool photos! Well, you know, our Prince Harry was actually christened Henry, so Simon's not that far off!!
