Three Things : Outdoor Inspiration

Love the layout Ali and the story. Sounds so familiar. Just wanted to let you know we tried the goggles with Brody this year and he has turned into a fish!!! Thanks again. Have a great day. Nicky

Very cool layout, unusual looking with the two different woodgrains. I really like that! I heard your interview yesterday, can't wait to get the new book from Cocoa Daisy!! :)

Ali- didn't get a chance to post the other day when I read your great news. Funny that I was thinking a couple weeks ago as I was looking at some of your Simon layouts..."I wonder if they're going to have other kids?"...so happy for you and your guys. Love the wood look...so perfect with these pics. Thanks for your continued inspiration and get some rest!

Listened to your interview on Paperclipping. I'm drawn to the clean look of your layouts and mini books. Looking forward to your new book.

Hello Baby Edwards. Well it's amazing to me the things we have in common.
1. I also have a wonderful 6 year old kid with autism.
2. We are also expecting a new baby early next year.
3. I love to scrapbook.
Your stories give me so much inspiration, I love it, Can't wait to see your future pages when the new baby arrives. Congratulations!!!

Oh, that would be so much fun to swim in a river with tiny fish! I'm glad he enjoyed it.

Adorable. I check out the blog, just to check up on your family, but the more I read/products I see, the closer you are to convincing me to take all this up. However, the real reason for my comment is to ask you why you are up posting at 5:00am when you should be sleeping, Mama!!!!!

I really love the way you put these together. Also, congratulations on the new baby.

Love the layout. What a great life moment to capture!

Oh wow oh wow oh wow!!!! Just got back from hols to hear your lovely news - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Love the paper from Urban Scrapyard. I have used it for a cover of a mini book & a layout. And I haven't seen anything else like it anywhere!!!

Ali - Congrats on the new addition to your family. Just listened to your interview + am really looking forward to your new book. Can't wait to take your class at CKU this Friday.

Love these products. You always pick some really good ones. You have an eye for that. Also, just read a few posts down. Congraulations to you and your family on expecting a new little one!

Hey Ali! I just wanted to let you know that you have totally inspired me to start playing with different products over the last couple of months! Lately, I have been obsessed with acetate and alcohol inks. I made my own polka dot mini and this guy: http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_layout.php?layout_id=119398. Even with the 7 gypsies stickers you talked about today! Small world....
AND congrats on your wonderful news to you and your sweet family!

I sat with my afternoon tea and listened to your interview - thanks, Ali - always so good to hear you talk about your work, your life and Simon! Can't wait to get my copy of the book from Cocoa Daisy!!

Alexandra, that sounds like such a relaxing way to listen to the interview! I haven't listened to it all the way through since we did it...maybe I'll sit down with a cup of tea, myself!
BTW, I'm really excited to get my hands on that book, too!!!

Ali,
Do you have any back to school traditions that you would be willing to share?? Would love some ideas.
Congrats on the baby! Wish you all the best.

That wood grain is starting to grow on me, maybe because I get sucked into all those hot trends and also because both you and Elizabeth Kartchner have it on your blogs!!

Love the woodgrain look! I also wanted to tell you that I loved the interview. Especially when Simon came to ask you to look at his train and if he could use the computer! That is so very much my house with 2 boys. And I could just barley hear his sweet little voice. so cute. I look very forward to your new book coming out - I got my on pre-order! ;)

OH NO! I'm not ready for summer to end!
Cute story and great interview. You always inspire!
