Monday.

I'm sad that you will no longer be featured in the garden, but I appreciate you stepping down because I know that it will make way for new talent to be featured. It is awesome what Kristina has done for scrapbooking... really bringing to light these amazing artists that the world may not have picked up on otherwise. I appreciate her recognizing your talent and have loved seeing how far you've come. I'm so excited to see what's next for you. Keep up the inspiring work!

I'll keep looking forward to seeing your work on your blog!! And your groceries look yummy!!

I was so bummed when I heard the news. Your work is of constant inspiration to me. I look forward to the new garden girl that will fill your spot. You'll have to make sure you post more of your layouts on here. Good luck with everything.

Bummer! I will miss you in the Garden. At least you have a blog I can stalk for inspiration!

I will miss your work in the garden. But this news came at a good time, my sorrows are drowned in the fact that I actually get to meet you in a couple days at CKU!

Hi Ali

I will miss you in the Garden. :( I found 2p's in 2004 and your bio was the first I opened in the Garden Girl section. From that moment on scrapbooking was changed for me as well. So glad that you will be an inspiration in so many other areas than just 2p's. I think of you as the classic Garden Girl :)

Love the flowers! Congratulations on all the great contributions you made in the garden at 2 peas! Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago. I started a blog! and I did a post today about my Italy "scrapbook on the road" and linked to your blog. Thanks for your inspiration!

Will totally miss your work on 2Peas. Thanks for all the inspiration over the years there!! Hope CKU-A is great!

I am very happy for you, you are soooo talented and I know that wherever life takes you, you will do wonderful! Are you ever going to be coming anywhere close to Denver, I would love to see ya.

Ah, I remember seeing your work on 2Peas BEFORE you were a GG. So sad to see you step down, but totally understand. I'm in awe at how you can manage to juggle so many things. Thanks for all you contributed to the Garden while you were there! :)

I am glad you are having such a nice time! I am also glad the strawberries are back and so so so good now!!
Best Wishes!

Thanks for the inspiration on 2peas over the years and thanks for the inspiration here. Gotta love spring renewals. Where there is an ending, there is a beginning.

You are the only person who could make photos of her groceries art....or art out of her groceries...whatever. I really hope to grow up to be you someday.

Oh, Ali-
That must have been a tough decision. I am going through a season of winnowing myself... realizing that my tendency to be a generalist is getting in the way of my ability to achieve certain goals. It's time to pick some areas on which to focus (ack!). Tough, tough decisions.

you truly are a class act...the garden will not be the same but as with any garden, another flower will bloom and be beautiful in it's own right...and we all have this blog to come ck out what's blossoming in Ali land. Just a little memory here - I'm a lurker on 2 peas and I remember seeing your work when you first posted and thinking, wow, she has that extra something...thanks for sharing your layouts, insights, inspirations...keep ridin' that wave to all good things.

Hi Ali,
I remember when I went through your gallery (and your seeds) and read pretty much each of your layouts.
Weird, but cool.
Watching your style evolve.
Cool.
Watching your blog evolve.
Meeting you last fall in Maple Ridge at Photo Express.
Even cooler.
Drop in to 2peas when you can.
You are vintage baby ~ classic GG in every sense of the word.
