Take it easy back to routine!

You sound very positive which is contagious and just what I needed!

Ali, can't find how to leave comments to 52 Creative Lifts! Ack!
I love the idea of a wandering day - a whole day dedicated to communing with nature, God, Higher Power, bugs, birds, worms, slugs maybe. The thing is, we used to do this as kids! We'd take PBJs and be gone until mom rang the cowbell. There was this day camp I remember only as a place we'd hang or not, it was probably a good 2 miles from home, we'd walk and play with gimp -- that's all I remember, that and the baseball fields. Across the street behind the houses there was a creek and at high tides there'd be a swamp and we'd go "island hopping" -- jumping from tree to tree (the tree roots held dirt, even in higher tides - low tides were easy, hence our "islands." We'd search for treasures from Indians and George Washington. It really was a great way to be a kid.

Welcome home Ali! Here's to spring and new beginnings.

One year ago yesterday was my sister Linny's memorial. Hard to believe that much time has passed and yet simultaneously it seems like it was only yesterday. I, too, am ready to begin a new chapter of finding j.o.y. in my life again after losing it in her death and in the grieving process. I know she'd want me to live life to the fullest, so I am going to do my best to do so, and to cherish the blessings ( both little + big) in my life. Thank you for the blessing your are Ali. To sooo many! Have a beautiful day! Here's to turning the page and to a new chapter unfolding.
Take care you.

Ali, one more thing - in the vein of "information junkie" apropos of wandering, daydreaming, etc. Charlie (son, neuroscience for education guy) - daydreaming is essential to sanity -- apparently. Neuroscientists are research this very thing.

Hope vacation was filled with love and fun! So glad to be reading your posts again and thanks for leaving us in the wonderfully creative hands of your guest posters!

Moving forward is good. :) Here's to a great month! Looking forward to the news letter.

Looking forward to seeing your Project Life layouts on PL Tuesday this week. Hope you had a great break.

Hi Ali,

hope your spring break was enjoyable! Looking forward to Holy Days of Easter, Spring renewal and grateful for the love of family and community and friends!

So glad you are back!! I know there were guests and they were all great but I MISSED YOU! :)

Lovely to welcome you back, Ali. Your flowers are lovely. I missed you. (Would you believe my creative muscle atrophied in your albeit rather brief absence?). XOXO.

Welcome back and happy April!

Hi Ali,
Just wondering if you are planning to come out with a stamp set for 2012?

Thanks.

Welcome back! I really enjoyed your guests last we. They were awesome. I want to wish you all the moving forward in the new chaper of your life.

I would love to win the Silhouette Cameo to assist me in scrapebooking hundred's of pictures etc. and I know that friends and family would jump on this when they see what the Silhouette is capable of doing on all this craft fun!
