Found : I Love My Home
Tags:I found this sweet drawing in Simon's backpack today. A great reminder of all that we have to be thankful for in our lives. Can you tell which one is me?
Around here summer is currently speeding up our schedules rather than slowing them down. Preparations are in full-swing for a bunch of different family adventures.
I'm also in the middle of putting together the Stories of Summer posts which will begin next Monday and run through July 6th. I'm really excited about the mix of content, including a bunch of new faces & names you might not have seen before.
I had a really nice time at Technique Tuesday's BLISS event this past weekend. My Storyology class was well-received and I hope to take some time in the coming months to get it ready in a PDF/video presentation format and make it available as a downloadable class. I was reminded once again how amazing this hobby is in the way that it brings people together.
And these two, well, they're ready for nicer weather and anything happening outside.

Ali, you are so good for me - and by extension, my family. I am working on a project of collected artwork by my brilliant, sensitive and quite good looking grandchildren. Making recycled chipboard covers, and putting in several of the pages of art, along with photos of the creators "in process" I am doing it for the moms, but I KNOW I won't really want to give them up once they are done...

Ali I absolutely loved the Storyology class. It really inspired me to pull out my pen & paper more often and to bring stories back to my scrapbooks, instead of just pictures & embellishments. Believe it or not I have my composition book with me in my purse and have not stopped carrying it around since your lecture. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I think you just improved my life more then you know! :)
(tell Chris to keep thinking of hobbies!) :)

oh my goodness! What an amazing memory to treasure. Simon might not always love his home (teenagers can be fickle), but this is something to hold on to.

Hi Ali-
It was great meeting and talking with you at BLISS! Your Storyology class really made me think about the way I scrapbook. I've always been the one to buy the latest and the greatest...but have realized that its the story and the photos that makes more of a difference. I will definately work on telling my own story like we talked about ;) Thanks for coming and hanging out with us!

Loving Simon's drawing. It is sweet how Anna is in your 'arms' and he put your glasses on. A mama needs to see. Very nice.
