Everyday stuff.

Bonjour Ali!
Bonjour Simon!
I hope you're both well!
Taking a class with Klala!
Wow, it would be soooooooo great!
She's so lovely!
I'm working on your challenge about the one-word.
The word already jumped on mind, when I read your newsletter.
You'll see monday!!! ;o)
I'm so happy of the Simon's progress (is it the right word? for progrès).
He's so cute.
Have a very good weekend.
Bisous from la Normandie ;o*

awesome pic! I just got done w/the journaling for my "word" page. I haven't been this excited about a scrapbook page in a long, long time. Not even sure if I have a picture for it...maybe my first pictureless page? Had to run in and type out all the thoughts for it {we're in the middle of a yard sale, and I'm pretty sure my hubby's gonna kill me:)} Can't wait til Monday!

My word for the year - I've been praying about this, and it is obvious to me what it should be: SACRIFICE. I can't wait to document what this will mean for me. Slowing down - simplification - excercise - time in Gods word. . .wow - I can hardly imagine the treasures in store for me if this becomes a daily habit. Thanks Ali :)

Your word is hitting the scrapping circles of New Zealand like wild fire......

Love the picture! You have inspired me to take a week in the life of me pictures starting tomorrow. Love the simple everyday moments you have been capturing those are the best moments in my opinion. Have a wonderful weekend! Toodles~

Isn't that the coolest lens ever! Lovin' your photography lately! Can't wait for CKC Portland! Have a great day!

love that photo! got the 50mm for Xmas and haven't had much of a chance to play yet but LOVE it so far!!

Ali---PALEEESEEE say you are coming to CKC Phoenix????????
(hoping for the POSSIBILITY--my new word :))

Super cool photo! Stopped my husband in his tracks and then he gave me a little mini lesson on lenses. (His dad is a photographer and likes the same kind of lens you do).
BTW, I'm with Mary Ellen (above comment) on the Pheonix thing. Would love to see you here in Sunny AZ!

Nice pic Ali. Cute little toes!
See you at CKC. I'm signed up for your class.
Dawn

Love the picture.....
Which Canon camera do you have?
I am still thinking about my word.I am leaning towards happy with life and how things are.
My dh prefers content. This is a great exercise!!! Thanks,Jess

My word is Place. This year is about the process, time to declutter, body, mind, hearth & home. Everything and everyone has a place. This is the year for me to find that place. I am so looking forward to finding the peace of those places.
I hope I can get a lo done this hectic weekend, but if not, I blogged about my word. If you have a free moment, you can read about it at

Thank you for the focus. It is already resonating in our home and family.

Wow! What a neat pic. I just bought a good camera... but I like the lens on it! I don't want to move my body. I might get exercise... that can never be good. ;)
I'll have to document a week in our life too... cool idea.

Mine's WONDERFUL. Like remember it's wonder+full, you know? My daughter (3)inspired it when she picked a book at the library yesterday called "The Wonderful Happens". She picked one for you too, Ali, without even knowing your word! It's "The Peace Book" by Todd Parr. GREAT thoughts on peace with kids-friendly illustrations.
PEACE in 2007!

Fabulous challenge this week-I accept! My word-LIVE. Check out my blog for a few of the reasons why-I will post a spread RE: LIVE very soon!

Loving your everyday photo fun---my 18 yr. old daughter has been experimenting with photography and it's interesting to see where her eye takes her!
My word for 2007 is VENTURE---I'm wanting to push myself forward this year into some new directions, so I think this word will help me reach some goals. Thanks for the motivation!

My word- is {IMAGINE} I'VE ALREADY PUT IT UP ON MY BLOG! THANKS ALI

I wonder if NotToBeAfraidAnymore would do for word...
or DailyCarpeDiem: DCD

Forgot to mention: you inspired me to go to London next week and only shoot in black and white. Now that will be a challenge...

here is my word entry - thanks for the idea. I am using my word each day!
So, I found this new blog that I love. This women captures what I believe having a creative life is all about. She has such interesting ideas and stuff. Ali Edwards. One of her ideas is to come up with a word each New Year. That word would be your mantra for the year and remind you of how you want to live your life. So my word for the year 2007 is ENJOY!
Why you might ask? Well, with a 2 1/2 year old that is challenging my patience in every way with her "terrible two-ness" and another one on the way in 2 months, I have to remind myself that I need to enjoy the moments in life.
Enjoy my daughter
Enjoy my belly
Enjoy drinking more water
Enjoy my body pillow
Enjoy my husband's help
Enjoy the guilt-free appetite (kinda)
Enjoy the little things
I need to remember not to get caught up in the difficult things. I feel like I am discipling all the time and Hannah and I aren't friends anymore. But yesterday we laughed in the store and had fun tickling each other and it reminded me that I need to have more of the moments and enjoy everything about being a mom (even to a 2 year old). So, that is my word.... ENJOY EVERYTHING MORE!
