February Studio A.

wow, you officially have more snow than we have had all winter in Detroit!

February's Studio A really struck a chord with me. My whole scrapbooking philosophy has changed to: scrap the moments that inspire. Mostly I find that these moments are stories that I want (and need) to tell. After everyhing else fades away, the stories will remain! Thanks, Ali! Loved it.

My prayers continue to go to you to keep
your spirits up and in the process continue
to inspire the rest of us. you are doing
a wonderful job. keep up the great effort!!

not sure if you'll get this, but i was wondering what kind of camera do you use? i know you use the 50mm 1.4 lens, but i was wondering what model canon you use?
thanks ali, you're the best

Thanks Ali. I needed to hear what you said in that article. I get blindsided having to work full time, and forget that I can make time for scrapping:)
Love your points. Might just have to try some of them!!
Have a fab day

Ali, LOVE your Survival Guide, and ADORE your layouts in there! However - you forgot the Internet - and most particulary for my friends and I: MSN. We keep chatting about scrapping, about shopping scraprelated stuff and so on, but rarely break free to actually DO something. Heh.

Great layouts again! I really love the picture of Simon in that red chair! He really is wonderful boy!
By the way...my three year old son loves to watch your blog with me... he wants to see Simon every time! So thanks for sharing and giving us a great time too!

love how you say "why reinvent the wheel?" I get into these creative modes of liking soemthing and think tha I should chagne it.. Why, i don't know. Thanks for your inspiriation... oh and can't wait to meet yu at Youngsplay memories in Tracy. I'll will be attending hte "today You" session. I have been capturing my daughter in the morning hours (weekday). It is the only time she and I have together, no one else shares that moment.. can't wait to create!

HI Ali,
Beautiful snow! I have never posted before but I read your blog daily and enjoy it thoroughly.
I decided you are the type of person who would want me to bother you with this question (grin grin)...
The beginning of January you had a post that referenced us back to the Jan 2006 CK with an article about scrapping one's intentions and I thought that sounded quite worthwhile. The problem is I can't find it anywhere. I have looked at (and read) all the on line options for that issue. Am I losing it or is it titled differently or just what could it be? I would really like to read it. Will you help me out please.
Thanks so much for being a faithful blogger and for your perspective on children, life, scrapping, just all you bring to the table.
Grateful and thinking differently daily,
Susan

Love the snowy morning shots - I'm jealous. It's about to get to 40c here on Saturday. Arg. Thank goodness for the pool.

Great stuff on Studio A, like always!

This article just makes me want to go create!!! I love your philosophy on scrapbooking and life in general! Thanks for the inspiration, girl!!

The column is great! Thanks.

I had already read the article - always the first item I go to when the magazine arrives - and it is one I am sure I will refer back to time and time again. Thanks Ali, great work as always!

Love the "It's good enough!" Lots of us need to be reminded of that from time to time I think!

I just love your writing and inspiration. Such great reminders that time slips by so fast. I can't seem to remember to buy laundry detergent without writing it down, why would I even consider thinking I could remember the funny things my kids say or that little memory we shared.
Many are lost to time, but I will work on capturing those I do recall and those still to come.
Have a lovely weekend with your boys!

Ali,
I came across this website and wasn't sure if you had heard of the study being conducted regarding allergies and autism. I notice that there is a clinic in Eugene that is participating and thought you might want to look into it. Here is the site:

Have a great day!

I love this article. I have been reading your blog along with ones you recommend all week and just feel so inspired. Seeing this article, again (I read it last week in the mag) gave me some more ideas to run with. Thanks Ali!!

Thanks, Ali! Continuing to be inspired by your work. I've been busy taking care of sick little ones, but have narrowed down my word to either {LEARN} or {CREATE}.I also took the time to look up the difinitions - great idea! Thanks again.
