GO ALI GO! You are such an inspiration to me and so many others. Bless you, bless you. Robin

Ali....you have so many people behind you, in scrapbooking and in your personal life! Awesome that you use your networking for something to benefit many families with autism. While watching your interview I got huge cold chills.....

So so fabulous. Loving this fundraising effort and all the success that your badge is having.
Pretty exciting stuff!!
And how cool was your interview - you are something else, Ali.

Yeah for you Ali, you are like the coolest celeb ever...yes you are a celebrity to me. You are such an inspiration, and breath of fresh air. I know with your help and all of those that have donated, we can make a difference for children with Autism. Congrats again!

It could have just been "scrapbooking" for you...but you decided to do something so much bigger. Love that about you. Congrats.

I just donated, thank you Ali for raising awareness. My donation was dedicated to my son, Cole. :)

Congrats Ali! That is soooooo cool that you and Simon were on tv! It was so sweet to see Simon in "real life action" - I've only seen him in pictures. You continue to be an inspiration to us all. Thanks for making my day (as usual when I read your blog)!!!!

You go girl! Wow, you must really be proud -- and you should be. I'm accepting your invitation (finally) and I'm going to make my donation. Cheers to You! -- TriciaH

Just goes to show you scrapbookers are a force to be reckoned with, eh? Great job! One of the things I so love about your blog (and everything else) is that you are so "real". I feel that you totaly put yourself out there. What at treat to see you in action-you were just as I expected you to be! Thanks!

Ali,
