Ali is giving away a spot in her upcoming  

One Little Word class for 2012. 

adfAliAlisTHE PROJECT
Ali says: “Last year I decided I wanted to do something even more tangible with my One Little Word. I’ve found that, just like a resolution, it’s easy to lose sight of the things you set forward to embark on as regular life gets busy throughout the course of the year. To combat this I plan to bring my word into my life more consciously and concretely and make it more visible by creating an album to hold my thoughts, challenges and inspirations”.

You’re invited to join me on this journey

 

Ali’s class includes:

  • Pre-class assignment available to you immediately upon registration for class
  • Monthly email reminder when the classroom has been updated
  • Welcome note from Ali in the classroom each month
  • One creative prompt per month: prompts will include printable elements (for use in both Photoshop Elements and Word) to create the interior pages in your album 
  • Colorful handout detailing the prompt and the creative assignment
  • Monthly video message 
  • Community building message board for sharing thoughts on your word
  • Gallery for sharing your word-related projects 
  • Four chats with Ali over the course of the year (one per quarter)
  • Supply list with live links to product resources

Lindsey Cheney 

of 

The Pleated Poppy

 

Hi !  I’m Lindsey Cheney.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I am married to an incredibly supportive husband and am mom to 3 littles, 8 and under. My days are full of sewing, trying to enjoy home schooling, crafting, snuggling, avoiding the laundry, sneaking bites of chocolate, and wondering “Will anyone notice if I just take a nap?”.  I am also the fabric-hoarding, late-night working girl behind the pleated poppy, my little online shop where i get to create bits of goodness and send them out to customers far and wide.  I so hope you find a home in my blog, that you stay awhile and peruse through my archives – start with tutorials or birthdays – those are fun ones!

Lindsey is offering a $25 credit to her shop The Pleated Poppy

 

 

Monica Solorio~Snow 

The Happy Zombie

 

 I’m a lover of quilts, fabric, stitchery and zombies.  I keep busy as a fabric designer, quilt and home sewing pattern writer, graphic designer and a cooking recipe developer (ie., writing notes of what I want to order again on my take-out menu collection).  My addictions and my fuel are my family and friends, sewing and crafting, Pinterest and Flickr, anything buttered, coffee and ice cold milk.

Fabulous Friday with Monica Solorio-Snow AKA Happy Zombie

ShabbyBlogsCollageBlogFrame copy

I think it was very brave of WWC to ask me to talk about myself – does WWC have enough bandwidth?!  The people who can make a long story short… yeah, I'm not one of them.  But I will try.  I will try really hard.

My blog Happy Zombie evolved from my Cheese Zombie blog – where I was journaling my thoughts and ideas, my rants and my loves… not knowing people were actually reading it.  And they not just read it… but left me comments.  Comments I did not like, comments that were not very happy.  It was time to pull the plug on Cheeze Zombie – even though I loved to yimmer yammer.

And then it was like little Heinzelmännchen (German gnomes) hijacked my computer – and lead me down the enchanting path of crafty and quilty blogs.  Oh such happy blogs.  I huffed.  And I puffed.  And I vowed to have a happy blog too.  In the blink of an eye… Cheeze Zombie became Happy Zombie.  And it's been happy blog-day afternoon ever since.

Shortly after my blog's metamorphous, I started getting new comments.  Happy, kind and fun comments.  I felt like I was forming my own little quilt guild – right in my house.  And I was at my guild in pajamas, no less.  I wasn't just journaling my days and projects… I was participating in this fun new social adventure.  Sharing, showing & telling, yimmer yammering… all the good things about the internet were right there at my desk. Just a click away.

There's something about blogging… the thought of taking a photo and writing about it… capturing the moment… has opened my eyes to so many beautiful things I've never noticed before.  I probably blog only 1% of my life and experiences… but I live 100% of every moment as if I'm going to blog about it.  Even a long wait in a doctor's office or bumper to bumper traffic can be a happy moment.  If I were to blog it… what would I see.  And it's like the little Heinzelmännchen come and sprinkle happiness and funny things into every moment.   Live like you're gonna blog about it.
