A couple things:

Ali- I will miss not seeing you at Scrapbowl:(
It was hard to pick classes: I did one with Stacy, one with Kristin and one with Donna.
I can't wait to get my hands on your new book!
I loved your post on mornings--we could relate to this at our house.
Have a great day, Jess

Yes!, the books started to ship and I received mine yesterday. I waited until I had all my house stuff done before I opened it so I could truly savor the contents. Each page speaks to my creative heart. This is a wonderful book :) I'm taking it in slowly, relishing each little bit of it so I'm only half way through. I'm so glad I ordered it. Have a wonderful weekend, Ali :)

Thanks for the heads up in VA. Looks like a great time with awesome talent.
We are waiting for our book.
Take care, miss you like crazy.

I pre-ordered by book from Amazon.com. I should be getting my the first book in November. I can not wait to see it. I have your other two books. About the Scrapbowl, I have a wedding that weekend in New York. I wanted to go. Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder for Get Croppin, but it will not be the same without you!! Thanks again for all your inspiration from the last ScrapBowl! Looking forward to your book.

Sooooo, looking forward to receiving my new book. Loved both of your last ones. Please tell sweet Simon that he can say goodbye to Mr. Morning because he came to live at my house and I sent Miss Beautiful Day to your house. Cindy

I, too, am sorry you won't be at Scrapbowl. Will you come play with us anyway? You're right there are some tough choices on class selection.
I'm looking forward to your latest book. Glad to hear shipping has begun.

looking forward to receiving your new book! I had preordered at CK so I hope it gets here soon!

Yeah!! I have been dying to get my hands on that book!!!

I was at my computer at 11 a.m. all ready - one Kristina and 3 Shimelle's! Thanks for turning me on to Shimelle, Ali - she rocks (almost as much as you do) and I can't wait to take real LIVE classes with her.......

I wanted you to know how much you have influenced my art with your various essays on creativity. I posted recently on this and would be honored if you'd visit. http://www.creativeruminations.blogspot.com/
Thank you for your intelligence and wisdom.

I got your book today...and have nearly finished it...I can't wait to go back through it piece by piece so much yummy stuff in there!! Thank you for another book full of inspiration and challenges.

Hey Ali!
This is a nerdy question, but what font is the one that you used for the 'artist' on the cover of your book?
So can't wait to use this one on a page!!!!!!

I received my copy of your latest book today, Ali and it is awesome. What a great collection of ideas, guidance, and pages! Definitely, a favorite already!

I'm glad the Life Artist books have started to ship. I went to my favorite local store, the Scrapbook Zone, on Friday and put my name on a list to be called when their copies come in. Yay!

I received my book late this afternoon! It is awesome - I was able to sneak a quick peak! After dinner and clean up I am going to settle down with a cup of tea and the book! So excited! I have been in a creativity lull and just the quick peak I am inspired!
Thanks!

I got my book this afternoon. I 'm flipping through it, then I will read the text. I love that you list other books that inspire you. I love the artist's way, too. Awesome. Ok, off to brew some tea and read.

Recv'd my copy of your book today---I absolutely love it! I flipped through it, reading things here and there and now I'm going back through every page. There is so much wonderful creative inspiration on these pages.

I got my book yesterday... not sure if it was the one I had preordered or the one I won. but i read it from cover to cover while my son napped. I absolutely loved it. I totally agree with your philosophies! LOVE IT!

I have all of your books and they are all awesome, but this one might just be my favorite!
:)
