I Scrapbook

And everyday moments.
And days gone by.
To rememberminutes that pass by in an instant.
And what it was like when it was just three of us.
To capture stuff like this.
And this.
And this.
And this.
And this.
To tell my story.
And his.
And his.
And hers.
And ours.
To pay closer attention toeveryday life.
To create and play and experiment.
To embrace life.
[ The above was adapted from my Keynote presentation at CKU's in 2008 ]
And just a couple quick updates:
(1) I will doing a chat at Cocoa Daisy on Sunday at 3pm as part of their weekend crop.
(2) I signed up for Twitter in June 2008 and am finally in a posting groove. I added the recent update widget over on the left or you can follow me here.
(3) Designer Digitals Quarterly Sale began last night and runs through 6am Eastern Tuesday. 30% off everything in the store plus 16 hours of chats and freebies on Saturday.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Ali -
This is so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. Those are all of the reasons that I want to scrapbook as well. I need to start making the time. I have a beautiful and amazing daughter and a baby on the way. Those memories and mine before are so important to share.
Thank you for such a beautiful blog. I have been following it since just before Anna's birth when Aby Garvy's blog pointed me here for your "One Word" post.
May you have many more happy and beautiful memories and moments to scrapbook.
Thanks for sharing ...

I love seeing all these layouts and photos. There are a couple I haven't seen before and I always love a review of the ones I have. =)

So I'm not the only one with tears in her eyes - so, so lovely Ali.
How fabulous to document all aspects of your life. You truly are a 'life artist' - love that you coined that term - so fitting.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, your creativity and your love of life with all of us.
P.S. I love that your lay-outs look timeless - even the ones from when Simon was so little have great classic qualities that will never go out of style.

What a great and beautiful way to sum it all up.
The "lead me" layout of Chris and Simon on the beach is one of my all time favorites of yours -- I remember saving it years ago and hoping someday I could make layouts as moving as yours are.
