    It may sound weird but it's the printing that I'm struggling with right now. Do I print them all? Do I only print for specific projects? What about sizes? All 4x6?
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Ali,
    My biggest problem is waiting until I have a huge bulk of photos to print (to save money on delivery costs) and than being overwhelmed with the enormous quantity of pictures to tag and organize, not to mention that by then I have already forgotten the places the pictures where taken in (and the date as well).
    Yours,

    My biggest struggle is storage. After a big trip I have tons of pictures and no real good way to store them all until they get scrapped.

    Stacey was so inspiring at Kiwiscraps in Sydney late last year - her thoughts on how many photos we take versus how many we scrap was really eye opening! I'd love a copy of her book to know what to do with all of my photos. Major break through for me was finally feeling good about not trying to keep up. Cheers, LisaW

    GREAT give-away! Thanks for the opportunity!
    My biggest struggle is lack of organization - seriously - just getting them organized, going through them and USING them!

    My biggest problem is 'lighting'.. I mostly photograph my cards, dogs and garden and I can never seem to pick the right setting to get the lighting correct... :(
    Thanks for the opportunity to win. I love your blog and visit daily.

    My biggest struggle is printing the favorites I have from the enormous volume of photos that I've taken since I switched to a digital SLR. I'm so visual that once I've "seen" the image then I don't move much beyond that. I would love to have photos of our family around the house but seem to forget that desire by not having them printed and framed.

    Being able to find a photo ANY WAY that I need it. For instance, as I work my way backward through old pix, I sometimes want to do a LO of all of my childhood Christmases (1 pix from each) AND a LO of one particular Christmas (all pix from 1yr) AND a photo of Christmases celebrated with my grandparents (sporadic)... so it's frustrating rifling through photos for different LO ideas... and I can think of NO WAY to organize them well short of using software that will let me tag/separate them - which does exist but, of course, only for digital photos. Of course, I only have about 3-4yrs' worth of those... *sigh*

    my biggest photo struggle would have to be lack of knowledge - of my camera, of my settings and of my subjects. Every day I try to learn more but I am impatient and wish I could learn quicker!
    Thank you once again for your generosity xx

    My biggest photo struggle is curbing the urge to color adjust every single one that I print. This can become very time consuming for a novice like me!

    Oooh to just pick one big struggle?! LOL. Well - one is to be part of what's happening at the same time as taking photos....and the other (OK I couldn't pick just one) is to get the photos off the computer.

    My biggest photo struggle is to find the time to actually do something with the photos I've already taken.

    Reading Stacy's last book was life changing. I also took her LOM class and am taking her class again. I can not wait to read her new book and be enlightened again! Her thoughts and ideas are really "freeing". The title is a perfect fit! Dawn H

    My biggist photo struggle is "tagging" the massive numbers of photos I have. Probably because it takes time and I haven't scheduled time with myself to do it!

    my biggest struggle is getting myself in the pictures, and then when I am, It's never a good one.

    My biggest photo struggle is the sheer volume. I've gotten better since I took Library of Memories last year, but over the months, the quantity just keeps growing.
    I look forward to seeing Photo Freedom.

    My biggest struggle is trying to keep up with organizing all my digi photos. I was a diehard 35mm film girl. After having my photos developed it was easy to sort & organize them. After being introduced to the world of digital photography I take 10 times the pictures & upload them. Figuring out how to sort, organize & back up all these photos has been a REAL challenge for me.
