Ali, I was in your week in a life class last year at CKU-A Chicago. I can't believe it's already been a year! That class totally has changed the way I scrapbook and look at life - from the journalling of small daily details to the mixing of patterned papers to my daily checks of your inspirational blog. Thank you for everything you do. You are very, very special!

How on earth do you do & read so much?! Sat down at my computer 2 hours ago with the resolution to do nothing else before I printed the pictures I've been trying for 2 weeks to do. But first, as I finished my coffee, wanted to check out your blog...which led to reading Jody's blog & the Wash Post article. I caught the NPR broadcast about the subway concert & was blown away by the incredible sound of Joshua Bell AND by the lack of response by passersby. The article is a sad reminder to us to STOP & SMELL THE ROSES! I've become so much more aware of LIFE since seriously scrapbooking.
I cannot wait for your book to come out. You keep teasing us with content previews, but I'd probably buy it anyway.
Come to Wichita, KS sometime to do a class, puh-leez!

Wish you would come to Denver sometime!! Love all your stuff!!

I took your Week in the Life class last summer in San Jose. I would take it all over again. I hope CKU will be back in SJ next summer. This class changed how I scrapbook. I was a chronological scrapper before. Now I do whatever I love or touches my heart. My pages are much more meaningful now. The biggest change from your class was how I view my roles as mom, wife, and domestic goddess. I came to really appreciate all that I do. To see the impact I have on people, directly and indirectly. Also, I play with my artist way more now. Thanks for touching my life. Therese

Hey Ali, Have fun in Motown - Detroit and Michiganders are AWESOME!

when's the new book coming out????

So glad to see you and chat a bit. I am totally wishing I was in your class today! Maybe I can hitch a ride to CKU Nashville!

No related to the current post but wanted to share while cleaning out my old emails, I came across an email about raising $5000 for the six degree. I can't believe how much that has grown!!

Thanks for the link to the article Ali ~ an amazing picture of the dream state we sometimes find ourselves in, just floating along. I love that "scrapbooking" helps me to at least try to feel "awake" in my daily life...to recognize the beauty that surrounds us. Thanks for the reminder. :)

Ali- I totally enjoyed meeting you!! I always crack up when I see people get awe struck by a "celebrity" but, I truly meant it when you were the reason my Pino (palo) and I went. It was an amazing day. You have inspired me to get out there and just embrace my imperfections and scrap!! You are an amazing person and I am so glad I got the oppurtunity to meet you.

That article was obviously awesome because I keep seeing links to it. I found it on a blog and linked it in mine and then my mom read it and wrote this wonderful entry about it on her blog. So cool.

Its new. I saw it and thought of you. It premeires tomorrow (April 22).

Ali, I took your "Week in the Life" this morning in Detroit. I am so inspired. You da woman! Thanks for a great day and the opportunity slow down and appreciate my life!

Hey Ali!
Took your Friday Week in the life class, and I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed myself, even if I was at the "serious" table by the door! LOL! You inspire me to look at the not so obvious, and to take a minute to live in the moment. Thank you so much! Now I gotta get my butt in gear to complete my album. I am truly a life artist now. Rock on!

Ali,
thanks for renewing my "passion" for scrapbooking. I completely loved doing your album track & meeting you at CKU-Detroit. I'm so inspired to capture my life as it is & go with the flow. I love that I remind you of your wonderful pal, Paolo. Thanks for the great name badge- it is so "ME"!
On another note, I'm so glad I got to share that personal emotional connection with you at commencement today. Thanks for making my first CKU experience a fantastic one.

So, I bought your new CK kit at 11:02pm PDT and I can't wait to get it! I'd love to join in on the 5th with everyone but, I must go to Central Oregon for a b-day party for my great-aunt.
Sorry my dear Ali but, Great Aunt Laverne trumps you...barely! LOL!
Are you teaching a class at CKC-Seattle?? I couldn't take yours in Portland because of my nursing son but, he'll be done with that by November! ;)
Love all that you do, SB and otherwise!
