I've been cleaning out my upstairs for some remodeling work, and found several books from my husband's grandmother's family - all in French and some from the late 1800s. Thinking of great ways to use the old handwriting and map pictures on some heritage LOs - good thing I registered for your class! Thanks for the giveaway.

not sure if it went through, but I'm excited to think of what I can do with some very old French school books and travel souveniers from my husband's grandmother's family. Good thing I signed up for your class!
Thanks for the giveaways.

Stumbled across a blog the other day by Amanda Johnson and I'm loving her pages. She has inspired me to simplify and experiment.

I am inspired by the 365 challenge: it's making me think "outside the box" and I'm loving it! Also inspired by some of the new scrapbook blogs i've found - becoming an addict!

Right now my inspiration is coming from the array of different colors the sky produces each night at sunset. We live out in the country and I get vibrant colors of orange, purple, pink, blues, etc. With these bright colors, I have moved to very bright (not neon) scrap pages and cards. And most of all...it just makes me smile! How many photos can I take of sunsets? Endless amounts!
Thanks Ali for the daily inspiration your blog and columns bring. I love your philosophy on scrapping & can't wait to take your class in Seattle!

My husband. Not only is he balancing the huge and *very* stressful work load he's got going on creating this event for Universal, he's also becoming quite adept at being a father to 4 year old Caden and 6 month old Paige. He's calm, cool and amazingly funny, even when Paige is in cranky teething mode and he's exhausted from a 14 hour day. I'm inspired to be a better person, mommy and wife by his example. :)

my dad is inspiring me... he has been in the hospital for three weeks, waiting patiently, speaking respectfully, acting cooperatively for the doctors to figure things out. He amazes me.
