Saying Goodbye To Studio A

Thank you for the years and years of inspiration through your books and magazine columns in CK. I will continue to stalk your blog and garner inspiration at DD. :)

Oh, Ali, I will definitely miss your column! I love reading your words and seeing your pages. I am very happy that you will continue with your blog and creating with Technique Tuesday. I wish you the very best!

Ali you were one of the main things that got me to subscribe to CK as well as attend my first CKU. (That week in the life class literally changed my scrapbook habits and how I approach things. It has been a wonderful eye opening experience.) I am sad to see that you have decided to leave CK but I am also excited to see what new adventure is in store for you. I can't wait to see some new stuff from you! :) Good luck on your new chapter! :)

ALi, I am very excited for you, and yet at the same time it is like saying "goodbye" to an old friend. God's blessings on what lies ahead and I will continue to look forward to reading your blog.

well your last column was great. You definitely went out with a bang. Good luck to your new path!

Ali just wanted to let you know that I will truly miss your monthly column in CK. Just recently I purged my old CK magazines but before I gave them away I tore out every one of your columns and put them in a binder. All of the content from those articles are still current today. Thanks for all of your inspiration over the years!
Glad to hear you will still be blogging!!!

Oh Ali. Your work is the only reason I have continued to by CK. I am a devoted blog follower and book buyer and will continue to seek out your work as a source of inspiration. Best wishes to you and your family!

There have been so many changes at CK that I guess I am not surprised. Disapointed, but not surprised. Being able to "check in" with you here on a daily basis totally rocks, so you will remain one of my daily visits.

I really like your spirit of moving forward. Good luck Ali!! Just want you to know I'll always you're no.1 fan No Matter What!! =D

All the best to you in your future endeavors. That being said, I will sincerely miss your contributions to CK. They were my favorite part of CK.

Ali, one of the things I most admire about you is your ability to face change without fear and while I'll miss seeing your columns I applaud you for always staying true to your visions. (And *I* know where to find you!) LOL! May life always bring you the best ... in the same fashion in which you always brought it to us in C.K.

I'm not a subscriber (was a Simple fan) but when I'd go to the bookstore I'd try to find the CK to read your column. Looking forward to seeing the content here and in other place.

Wow...I echo many of the comments in that you were the best part of the magazine but certainly understand your desire to change it up a bit and find new outlets for your creativity and inspiration. Thank you for being up front and thank you for your ongoing efforts to inspire and guide all of us out here :-)

I had a feeling after the last article. I am sad, as your article has been the 1st and last thing I turn too, and the reason I subscribe...you will be missed, but I apprecite the opportunity to read you everyday. You helped me take the stress out of scrapbooking.

Oh Ali, I'm happy for you, but so sad for all of your CK fans. Your column has long been my favorite part of the magazine - your approach, your style, your knowledge, all combined for a great column. Best of luck to you in the future - I'll keep following you online!

That's too bad. Your content was really one of the main reasons that I subscribed to CK. I always felt that your creations had such a realness about them, with big heart. I will miss seeing your beautiful pages every month.

As I sit here and read this sad news with much disappointment I catch myself in mid-grump . . . What am I doing right this very second? The answer is stitching a cover for my Gratitude Album that came as a thought while doing my DD. Where did I get this inspiration? Not from the magazine but from your blog.
I too will miss terribly Studio A - and along with countless others it was the reason I still subscribed to CK. I know that your decision did not come lightly or easily. I also know that I can be inspired by you everyday via your fabulous online presence. Thank you for all you give to us. Take this time to breathe and press the pause button for awhile.
Always,
Trisha

Everything happens for a reason, Ali. Good, Bad or Otherwise. You've been and will continue to be an inspiration to so many people. May the road ahead lead you to wonderful things.

eeep! that was the best part of CK. It was literally the reason I renewed this year.
I love seeing your ideas on your blog, and I love that you're doing digital stuff. you rule! :)

Thank you for all the time you took away from your family, your home-making, your friendships and your own creative work to teach all of us through Studio A. I've been following (and learning from!) your work since you first appeared in CK and began blogging and it's clear that you've grown into a new space. CK will not be able to replace you or your work. I hope what you are leaving pales in comparison to the beautiful new beginning you are entering into.
