Saying Goodbye To Studio A

I am sad, because I will miss your articles.
I am a student in your BPS class and hope to take more classes from you in the future!

I must tell you - you are the reason that I primarily bought Studio A - but I am excited as you move forward in life and your career. Change is always good!!
Looking forward to following you along in your new adventures.
And thank you, I can't say that enough for all the inspiration you have given me thru the years, especially in documentating our life with Autism. Always inspiring you are!!
Congratulations

Nothing is constant except for change. Congratulations for the courage to move forward. Can't wait to see what you have planned for us next!

I am very excited to see what is next on your journey! I let my subscription to CK go awhile ago, because I just wasn't finding anything in there for me, except your column (I have all of the old ones in a binder:) An artist needs to keep moving forward, and personally, I don't think CK has in a long time. I'm a daily reader of your blog, and have found so much inspiration right here. Thank you for continuing to share with us (and I hope you keep writing books, too!)

Must say I totally agree with all the comments above, first thing I always looked for was your column and it is the only one I save from the magazine. You are an inspiration and I love you blog as does my 8 year old grandaughter who follows your blog as keenly as me. Every best wish for the future Ali.

Wow, after reading several of the comments above, it's obvious that I am not alone. I really looked forward to receiving CK every month just so that I could turn to Studio A and get inspired. You and you alone have changed my way of scrapbooking. Before I just wanted to get the pictures down on a page and make it as pretty as possible, now I tell a story on every page and my pages are so much more meaningful. For this I will always be grateful to you. I'm glad to hear that we can still read your blog, it's one of the few sites that I frequent on a daily basis.

Another that has subscribed again because of your future articles! Now I hear Becky is bowing out too? Might have to reconsider my subscription now... Please don't take that as a threat though, Ali! Thank you for all you've shared up to this point in CK - and what you'll continue to share in the future here! Your style of scrapping & life is inspirational!

Like so many of your commenters, I subscribe so I can see your column. I'm disappointed but am wishing you the best as you continue to move forward.

As your column was the only reason I subscribed to CK I'm sad, but happy for you as you move forward in a new direction. I'm taking your BPS class right now and loving it so I hope to be able to take more of your online classes in the future.

Yet another reason why my subscription will lapse when it is done. Looking forward to seeing you online here and at DD!

Although I totally understand the need to change things up and go in a different direction, I am so sad to hear that Studio A is coming to an end. That is my favorite part of the magazine!! Best wishes for the future and I can't wait to see what you do next!!

Thanks for all the inspiration!
Good luck in your new ventures.

OMG..this seriously bums me out. Your column was the ONLY thing I consistently cut out EVERY SINGLE issue.

So sorry to see you also will no longer be in CK. You are very gracious in your exit, as I am sure the old CK was good to you. Sadly, I have no reason to keep my subscription - ironically my last issue was December. The magazine and its people are no longer keeping me inspired. Anyone who has kept up with the scrapbooking industry knows the troubles CK has had, and they can't blame it on just the economy although we know that did have some impact. I will definitely follow you here, and DD, and TT. I absolutely love your Tuesday Tutorials. I hope you keep them up. Thanks for all your cool ideas. I would also like to see the weekend ideas you used to have. But I know that just about anything you do will be successful. Thanks again, if is definitely their loss!

so so sad.
I did let my subscription end, but your column was the one reason why I was thinking of re-subscribing. You always offered such fabulous ideas that I find myself going back to over and over again. Your column is the reason I hold onto the old issues of CK...and it won't be the same without it.
I look forward to your next venture because I know whatever it is, it will inspire me. Thank you Ali

Selfishly, I am saddened by your news, but I'm so excited for you!! I can't wait to see what you do next!!!! I have been on the fence about renewing my sub...now I know I will not!! Congrats Ali!!!

Sad for the end of an era, but excited to see what the future holds. I will continue reading your blog avidly and watching for more great stuff to come! Thank you for sharing your talents and gifts.

I will so miss Studio A but onward & upward. I will look forward to youor online education endeavor!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your familyn ;)

Ali- Thank you for the last 3 years of inspiring articles. I have kept everyone one of them in a binder...my own "Ali" inspiration right at my fingertips.
Congrats on this decision and to a new chapter of your life:)

Your Studio A column was the reason I subscribed. I hope you continue to blog and share your creations. I always find inspiration from your work and words. Thank you so much for Studio A.
