Even Simon seems to love...
Tags:those 7gypsies self-inking stamps. I set up a stool and some paper for him across from my table (I am a stand-up scrapper) and he went to town. The red AE stamp there was designed on my computer and taken on disk to Office Max where they made the stamp for me.
Tonight I will be chatting at Designer Digitals - come by around 7pm Pacific and join in the fun.
Monday is a very big day for the Edwards. All three of us will be heading up to Salem (the state captial of Oregon) early in the AM for Chris' swearing in as a State Representative. I hope to post some updates throughout the day. As you can imagine, the camera will be in full force. I am starting to get super emotional just thinking about it...
If you are interested you can keep track of the happenings at the Oregon State Capital this session on this site run by The Oregonian.
Tomorrow there will also be a post for the one little word challenge - I can't wait to see the creative ways you are honoring your word. I am in the process of getting a gallery set up so everyone can post their AEzine challenges in one spot. It may take awhile to get it going, but know that it is in the works and it is one of my goals for the beginning of the year. In the meantime, it's easy to participate and share your creations - simply reply in the comments section of this blog with one of the following:
1. link to your blog (use the permalink option so that when people go to your site they will be taken directly to that post)
2. link to a gallery posting (both CK and Two Peas have great galleries where you can post your work) - to create a link simply copy and paste the web address where your image is located
Let me know if you have any questions - happy Sunday. Don't forget to come by the chat tonight if you have a chance.

My word for this year also popped into my head immediately:
LET GO.
Let go of the need to have everything perfectly in order before I can start.
Let go of my ego. The underlying feelign that I'm somehow in a secret competition with everyone else. That my ideas, pages, classes, etc... need to be better than everyone else's. (Ugly attitude)
LET GO.
Of indecisiveness. Of immobility. Of negativity.
LET GO
of old patterns that are holding me back.

I've just discovered your fabulous blog, and it's already changing my life. Seriously. The inspiration is simply amazing. My word: Be Open. This year is going to be full of changes for me, and the word came instantly. Be Open to new challenges, to new ideas, to embracing life, to realizing my own potential and my own creativity. I made my first ever graphic collage (no pictures!) and it's hanging in our dining room. Here's the link; hope it works! Thanks for taking the time to create this awesome space, Ali. http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/pg.asp?gallery=1&cmd=display&layout_id=1058685
