Ali, I loved your comment about living your dream, and how it comes "complete with all the challenges that come along with living your dreams". This rings so true to me. Thanks for sharing. And the story about the Oregon family is heartbreaking. Thanks for passing this along to us.

And a happy Monday to you! So glad you had a great time in IL this weekend! How do we get you to come to MN next? Hope you get everything on your lists done. Have an awesome time in Orlando!

Any chance i can get your to post up what lens you use on your camera for all those awesome photos below? (and what camera) THanks!!1

Happiness is being a big girl excited about going to Disneyland. Go for it Babe!

looks like you had fun as always ali :) soooo excited for you, chris and simon on the disney world vaca!!! HOW COOL!!

I heard about the Kim family from the Seattle news on our satellite feed (I live in Alberta, Canada). I'm sending positive thoughts and keeping everyone involved in my prayers, but wishing I could do so much more.

Yeah I just heard...It's just awful. Our prayers go out to the families.

what an awful thing! How does a whole family disappear? It is just tragic.
You are going to have an awesome time at Dinsey. I just watched a special about Disney at Christmas time on Food TV and it looks spectacular! Apparantly there is a huge gingerbread house in the lobby of the Grand Floridian...

I'm just sick about the Kim family. I live down in Grants Pass so it's been all over the news here. I do pray there is a happy ending.

Hey hey. I am happy to hear that you finally made it.
Chicago...（sigh）
BTW, I really love your new hair. Looking great!

Hey! ThaT iS Me up there with YoU! WOW! big surprise checking your blog--- you just made my day. U R 2 cool 4 SchoOL!!!

Thank you so much for a great class, Ali. You were well worth the wait! Hope your trip back went much better than Friday/Saturday's travels. Take care!

cant wait to meet you this weekend in tampa i feel as though i know you already through your blog have a safe trip

I have been following the Kim family for the past few days when I saw the story posted on littlebirds blog. Hearing that the girls and mom have been found is such a relief! Prayers still going out that James will be found alive and well.

As soon as I saw that shirt you are wearing in your cafe press store I ordered one right away. I love the fact that you have included some color and long sleeves. Just LOVE it. Wore it to my first crop last weekend and got a lot of comments.

FYI: The mom and two girls are found alive, the husband is still missing after having left on foot two days ago.

I so loved having you here in Springfield, Ali. What a treat! You inspired us all. You need to stay longer next time. Loved all the "woohoo's"!

i see you're sporting a new shirt...adding it to my wish list! :)

Loved meeting you this weekend and attending your classes. Glad to hear you made it back safe and sound. Can't help picking up my projects from this weekend and looking at them over and over. So fun and inspiring to spend the day with you-thanks!
