Craziness.

PackingGetting ready for a trip like this is CRAZY. Not only do I need to pack and make sure I have everything ready for my classes (a million thanks to David, the orgainizer of the Kiwi Scraps event, he is AMAZING to work with), but I have to get things all organized around here too. This morning while I was driving around doing errands I was thinking about how BUSY I am...that whole thing about wondering what in the heck I did in my life before I was doing this stuff...


Today I am working on my column, gathering up my clothes, picking up all the piles I have here, talking to Donna and Cathy on the phone, etc. And totally excited about my new computer bag and carry on from Mimi - works for scrapbooking stuff or lots of other goodies (tons of pockets inside).


And for those of you I will be meeting in NZ and Australia, here is a sneak peek at the Today You project:

Back to the craziness of preparations. And tons of thanks for the well wishes and blessings for our anniversary - so totally kind of you guys.

    Ali,
    More exciting even than going to NZ is the fact that you will be there with your Life
    Artist friends--both old & new! I know you will miss your "boys," but they will be fine! Chis sounds like a great dad. Soak up this experience...enjoy. :-) -Karen

    Okay. So I must be, like, the one-millionth person to ask you this, but I must ask once again. What kind of camera do you carry around with you, to make all your beautiful photographs? I want you to know, you're a source of such inspiring light to me, and my design has taken on new wings since reading your blog and watching your journey and travels. Keep it up, Ali! You're an amazing beacon of light and such a source of inspiration.
    Your beauty is immense and inspiring, and I thank you for that!!
    Aimster
    (Oh yeah, about that camera...) LOL
