    THANK YOU, Ali, for posting this. I was at one of your CKU keynotes last year, and was moved to tears by it then, just as I am now. You just put it so, so beautifully -- and it reflects exactly how I feel about this amazing pastime of ours. You are such an inspiration. Love your work. :)

    Thank you, Ali. Just today I was re-examining why I scrapbook and if it is something that I want to continue to do. The answer is yes and you explained why so eloquently.
    Thanks!

    What a beautiful post! I have been enjoying your blog for about a month now, but have never posted. I have a three year old and a five month old. It is hard to savor my little one while taking care of a preschooler, but I am trying. EVERYTIME my little one naps I sneak in and take a peek at her. I just want to soak it all up because I know this time won't last. Your page of your little one and the words "The quiet moments make my heart overflow" is perfectly fitting for me too. My heart overflows!

    I love todays post! I scrapbook for the same reasons and get so emotional looking back at layouts over the years. So much better than just looking at a bunch of pictures in a regular photo album :)
