Thanks for joining us, cardi. Welcome back to you too. Like gotti from san bruno. My ah ha. Moment was keeping it simple because I tend to clutter ad and then feel guilty about not going away. So for me, it was keeping it simple. Thanks for joining us again. Now our final student, I'm actually not talking to right now because just before we came on there, she said there are no single good looking men on this program. But I'm going to introduce their anyway to me. He's, welcome back. You are forgiven to correct a rich right? You were right. I'm denise from kodiak, alaska, and my ah ha moment was even. The experts are just like us. When we get behind, get overwhelmed. They're just like us there's no magic expertise. When it comes to scrapbooking, they were all just what in the same way I'll do it the same and becky's teaching us how to do it. Simpler, easier, faster and getting it done. That was my ah ha like, oh, wow, this is like me way. Well, welcome back. One of you attorneys were saying she went to out last night in san francisco was trying to convert everybody who she met in the bar into scrap booking. Thank you. See you later on. Welcome back to all of you to memory how the internet is first of all, I just want to remind you how much fun it is to be a student here. I mean, look at the blast that they're having. And of course we're always looking for wonderful students to come in. We have a fantastic video it's called front row it's on our facebook page. So go there and find it and discover how much fun we're having here. You could be part of a sisterhood, tio, but getting back to who's joining us. Wow. Wow. While we have a big audience from all over, we have frisco. We have pennsylvania, hawaii, san diego hilton head. We have curio. So in saskatchewan, pittsburgh, I mean, I cannot list all of these places, but a couple of people wanted to share their takeaways. The takeaway for erica was to categorize, to contain arise. And, of course you, jose says the ah ha moment was that it's ok to not finish every single project so welcome, welcome, welcome, or still glad to have you always glad to have you in. Some of those names are very familiar to us. So welcome back, everybody, who's, maybe joining us, creative life for the first time, one of our long time audience is always with us. We really appreciate you joining us.

I have been involved with scrapbooking for many years and have made numerous purchases for supplies, a room full and then became so overwhelmed by all of it that I have done very little. The reason being, that I was so conscious of what everyone else was doing and mine never quite measured up to what I saw that others were doing with all the embellishments, and techniques. I then turned to card making because it was a much quicker gratification than studying and laboring over the perfect layout with the perfect paper and etc. I had gotten an earlier Project Life kit of Becky's a few years ago and because of a very busy life had never fully gotten the concept, but thanks to Creative Live and Becky I am on the right track now. I am so very motivated and have recently taken all of my photos out of old albums, boxes, etc. and have them at least in order by years so that now I can begin to document this life of mine. By the way, I just turned 70 and boy does that mean a lot of photos. I am equally excited to get an album started for each of my grandchildren that they can document their own lives. My three youngest are 9,11 and 13 and are so heavily involved in sports, community, church and life itself that they need to document this now, for sure they will forget when they are 70 and trying to play catch-up. I have been a fan and follower of all things Becky Higgins since the beginning of Creating Keepsakes and have always felt she was so very authentic in her aspect of documenting, living life and celebrating everyday living. She is awesome and thank you Creative Live for having her on and allowing so many of us to share in this 3 day event. I know I am catching this in the summer 2014 when In fact this was done in 2013, but better late than not at all. A very special thanks to Becky!!!

I am very excited to document my families life. I have 5 kids and a wonderful husband and life goes so fast. I feel like I do everything on the express train! However, this course was not for someone with the ADD brain. This 3 day course could have easily been consolidated down to one day.... maybe two. I think Becky is adorable, however, think she said the same thing over and over again just a different way. I am excited to start project life and review the videos as I need to.

I need help with organization and this class really helped. I also love the simplicity of Project Life. One of my favorite things was how pictures are taken of kids projects to preserve them rather than keeping the originals. Photos of hands has also become a new interest thanks to one of the guest presenters. This class was worth every penny!
