Student of life.

I agree Ali... scrapbooking has taught me so much about life and about myself-what I like, what I dislike, what I want to remember, what matters to me, etc. Thanks for your perspective on this life changing hobby of ours.

So cool.
Let's aim for 80. And we can scrapbook together!
Love you!

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet her this weekend. Thanks for an awesome album track. Robin, Jana, Dara and I had so much fun.

Thank you Ali for an eye opening experience with your album track on Friday - It took me out of my comfort zone and I will take a new approach to constructing a page. This project has opened my eyes and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Hopefully I can get more of it done this coming weekend! :-) See you again next year!

Ali,
I much enjoyed Saturday's album track. I was so excited about attending one of your classes and my first CKU...and I came away with so much more than I ever expected. The more I worked on the homework for the track, the more I realized that I was looking at my life from a different perspective than ever before. Thanks for making my first CKU an awesome experience...and some of the most fun days from a week in the life!

Thank you for inspiring both my girls with your honest stories of Autism. My oldest is getting a Masters in Education with a concentration on Autism. My youngest is getting a degree in Ed. and going on for a Masters in Speech Therapy. They both read your blog weekly.
You are inspiring two very gifted young women!

thank you for inspiring us in different ways to tell our stories:)

Hi Ali,
As I would like to have a lesson with you!
Who knows one day….
A scrapkiss for you and has a nice day!

Learning something new is definitely a constant goal... not that it's in the front of my mind on a daily basis though. It should be!
So cool about your 73-year-old student. :)

I took your album class at CKU Detroit and it was Awesome (with a capital A). You opened my eyes to a new perspective on scrapbooking and now it has changed my style for the better! You have a special gift and it's so nice that you are spreading it around the country!

LOVE IT!!! Thanks for sharing......

This is why I love reading your blog so much... these kinds of posts. What a wonderful experience you had and how lovely that you embraced it the way you did. Have a great day!

SO, so , so loved your class in Nashville - clean lines, no stress, lots of creative thinking and what a fantastic album....I completed it all in class and now just need to journal ~ what a great coffee table book ! Thank you for taking your time to be with each of us, signing books, sharing stories & taking photos ~ you ROCK...Joy and peace
