Wednesday Giveaways

Very cool prizes :)
There are so many things I want to learn! But, specific to this upcoming year, I need to learn how to run my household by myself. My husband is being sent overseas for a year and I need to hold down the fort :)

I want to learn balance and patience. My life is very full, my husband and I own 2 companies and have 2 kids...with number three due in June. I want to be able to run a happy, less chaotic household. Simplify things and maybe have 10 min. a day left for me.
Happy Holidays Ali.. working hard on keeping up with my December Daily, thanks for all of your super inspiration!

I'd like to learn German. My BF (soon to be fiancee) is part Austrian and I'd like to be able to say a few things and understand what people are saying without needing everything translated if we go to visit his family in Europe.

I know most poeple find the banjo annoying, but I think it is beautiful.

I've just started to play with photoshop elements, so i'd like to learn how to use all the features in it.

I would love to learn more about Photoshop. I have Photoshop however have not taken the much needed time to really learn all it has to offer.
Great giveaways!

I would love to learn how to take better pictures in the next 12 months. Especially how to take photos that 'tell a story' as opposed to getting everybody to pose and say 'cheese'. Thanks for the great opportunity to win some neat things!

i would like to learn to not sweat the small stuff as much :)

I bought a new digital Rebel Cannon this year and in the next 12 months I am going to take several classes on it. Luckily the camera shop I purchased it has brand specific classes. I also want to learn Photoshop and am going to take classes. I want to continue growing and learning as an artist. I was one of those kids who was told by my parents, "your not as artistic as your brothers and sister" and I just stopped even trying as a kid in art. Now as an adult I am learning I AM artistic and I love it!!! Thank you Ali for being supportive and giving with these drawings and with your teachings! It really means a lot to folks!

Cool giveaway! In the next 12 months I would like to learn more about photography and I really would like to master photoshop. Thanks for the giveaway.

I love learning new things. But this year I really want to work on digi scrapping. I've been picking up various elements and stuff so I just need to figure out what to do with it all.

Oh, wow! Just one thing? I'd love to learn how to garden and grow things. Maybe even scrapbook about it. And I'd love to get better at capturing the stories of our life.

Great giveaways! Thanks so much for the chance to win! There are so many cool & innovative scrappin' techniques out there...I would love to learn to how to do all of the different embossing techniques...looks like so much fun!

I've been wanting/needing to learn Photoshop and Indesign/Illustrator. I need to know them for work, which is great because they will pay for the training. Little do they know, I'm really wanting to learn them for scrapbooking purposes!

In 2009 my learning focuses on others:
- I want to learn to take better pictures of people.
- I want to become a more effective instructor so that all my students find value in the classes I teach.
-I also want to teach myself to take on fewer things so that I have more time to spend with the important people in my life.
