Friday musings on this & these.

Don't you love having the two of them?? Siblings are such a blessing! I was looking at a layout I did from CK in 2004 when I met you for the first time. I made the comment that I immediately connected with you and you inspired me to be me and have fun creating. Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us!

I love that first seven days layout! Thanks for all you share.

The LO of Anna's first 7 days is adorable - thanks for sharing all these things!

That layout is fabulous!
Thank YOU for being an inspiration to me. I look forward to reading your blog each day and to all the great layouts/ideas in CK.

What an inspiration you have been and are being to me. You amaze me with all the great ideas you come up with. My daughter and I were talking about signing up for your class last week. I am 71 and would love to document my past and present. People could't take as many pictures then, as now. Your 7 day lay-out of Anna is so precious. I have a good baby book to get pictures from IF I can find it. I also needed the article you referred us to on too many objects in our lives!! Thank you for today's post. It touched me in so many ways.

Does anyone else tell you that Anna looks like your mom?

Thank YOU for sharing your rich wisdom & insight. Another weekend with that inspiring, creative bunch...sounds wonderful. I hope you gals have a great time.
Happy Weekend~

Love pictures of babies sitting...they sit so perfectly straight,...at attention ready for anything..they loose that before they are 5 usually!

I'm planning to scrap this weeknd for the first time since AJ arrived. That first seven days layout is perfect inspiration.

beautiful photos, family and inspiration again - thanks, I needed it today

I really liked the link to the Blog about love life not stuff. After reading it I felt that everything that was written is so true. The one part that really touched me was about how sometimes we have issues with getting rid of something that we dont use. I will debate weather or not to get rid of something for days. This artice has given me a new perspective. Thanks!

they are so darn cute. They look so much alike.....Thank you for all of your inspirations and encouragement. Have fun this weekend.

Ali, this is just the cutest photo of your two very beautiful children. It is so sweet how Simon adores his little sister. Anna is changing so fast already.
We appreciate you so much. You are so talented and wonderful to visit every day...you are awesome, missy.

I love the LO of Anna's first days. My little babe was born on December 26th and I have taken a picture of her on the 26th of every month since. I hope to create a layout (or a mini-book) documenting her first year with these pictures. I haven't been really good at writing things down every month. But I think I will remember because this time around I have taken it all in. Concentrated on HER, not what we do for her. It's been amazing and it has gone way too fast. Thank YOU Ali for letting glimpses of YOUR life be shown on your blog. I love reading it every day! I have also gotten some great items from links on here and project ideas too. Thank you!

Little Anna is a clone of her mama. What beautiful children you and Chris have! Thank you for sharing your pictures.

That book looks like I need one. Thank you Ali for being willing to share bits of your life and what inspirtes you with us. It is a wonderful Blog and gives more inspiration and motivation than you could know.

Thanks for letting us come into your life everyday. This is truly a blog that is first on my list to read everyday. It's inspiring, mentoring, and warm. You are so much like me in so many ways, yet different too. It's something I read to help me relax each and every morning. Something snuggly, like a big cup of cocoa. Or in your case, Coffee Latte.

They are so adorable! And the layout is beeeeautiful!

Hey, sweet girl! Love seeing Anna and Simon interact. What a joy.
Big hugs!
Lisa

so very touching moments :)love it:)
