The Good Stuff.

Love the photos Ali.

Don't you worry... my boyfriend and I still haven't taken down our Christmas tree... thank god I unplugged the lights 'cause it would immediately burst into flames... It's hard to let go of the holidays...

Gustavo Dudamel is our all time favourite conductor! Great to see him getting well deserved acclaim over there.

I watched 60 minutes lastnight, too! Made me want to go to the Symphony and have my kids choose an intrument to play!
Still love your orange blouse and shoes! So stylin'!

We are still working on some of the Christmas decorations also. I wanted to let you know that I am about half way done my life book and just get more excited - it is amazing - thanks again for your inspiration.
Love your list - Brody is reading now and having to spell everything - so exciting!!!
Have a great day.

I love list - of all kinds - and your post remided me - have you seen this (these) books? 'List Your Self: listmaking as the way to self discovery'.

Ali,
Thank you for sharing the link about Gustavo Dudamel. It totally made my day. If only we all had such passion for life.

ooh, I watched 60 minutes last night, too. Gustavo was amazing(not to mention, totally cute). Happy Monday!

Hey Ali,
We had hot cocoa and marshmallows yesterday afternoon too - yum, yum! So cool about Simon and his reading - fabulous!
Today is a day at home (Family Day in Canada) so I'm doing a bit of spring cleaning too - hard to get started but so good to do.
Happy Monday!

I saw the piece on Gustavo last night also, and he was very inspiring! Such a passion for his art....

Love the list, definitely I should write down the things that made my day EVERY DAY and BTW you made my day today with Gustavo Dudamel, love him ;) I'm a Venezuelan girl.

thanks for the link of Gustavo Dudamel on 60 minutes. I first heard of him on NPR. It was great to put a face to his story. I would love to see him conduct. I am excited about the System being developed in LA. Won't it be great if it spread across America.

I really like these weekend creative prompts, thanks for offering up inspiration consistently and beautifully. I loved your butterfly project last weekend and wanted to share this store with you. I found Butterfly People on a recent trip to Puerto Rico and had never seen anything like it! Unfortunately they're a little out of my price range, but I can create a paper adaptation like yours. Hope you enjoy the link!
