Wednesday Giveaways
Three great giveaways today. Look for a new December Daily post around noon pacific.


One A Life Well Crafted year long workshop at Big Picture Scrapbooking with Kolette Hall.
Begins January 1. $170 value. 12 months of audios, projects, layouts, live chats, etc.
2009 is the year for
the ultimate craft project: you. As requested, Big Picture Scrapbooking
is giving you Kolette Hall for an entire year. A Life Well Crafted
offers you 12 months of new topics, fresh projects, and live chats.
Plus, Kolette's husband Jason completes the team as the Halls motivate
and inspire us to live the very best life possible. Each week will
offer something new to enrich your life, inspire creativity, and share
your love of scrapbooking with those around you.
Big Picture is also offering an Audio-Only version of the workshop for those in our lives who aren't crafty but want to share the experience. The Audio-Only version is only $90 for the year or $10/month.
If the full-year workshop just feels like too much of a commitment you also have the option to register from month-to-month for $18/month.
Valued at over $100.00, this giveaway package from Peachy Cheap.
Includes product from Fancy Pants Designs, American Crafts, Basic Grey, Autumn Leaves, and My Minds Eye.
PeachyCheap is a retail site that offers deals up to 99% off on scrapbooking products. They offer one deal per day, one product per day; once the daily items are gone, they are gone. Lots of cool things each day over there.
One 12x12 canvas post-bound Hollycheck scrapbook valued at $27.95 from Butterfly Kisses.
Butterfly Kisses is Angi Smith's home site as a Close To My Heart consultant.
To be entered into today's drawings leave a comment below and share something you would like to learn in the next 12 months (could be craft-related or anything). Comments will be closed at 9pm Pacific tonight with the names posted shortly after.
Just a note that there are additional Family Gratitude Spinner kits available now through Cocoa Daisy. For more information on my online workshop through Big Picture Scrapbooking go here.

I will be learning a lot this year! I start graduate school on January 5th. I will be earning my Masters of Arts in Teaching, with which I will be certified to teach middle school and high school language arts. I hope that the skills I learn help me to motivate and inspire my future students!

I want to learn more life balance. How to have the time to do all the necessary things in life like work, cook, household chores, etc. and still have time for me and special time with my family. I'm tired of feeling guilty because I'm taking time to be creative because I need it when I haven't spent any time with my family that day.

I would like to learn to sew more complicated things... as in, more complicated that 4 straight lines to make a small baby blanket. :-)

I want to learn what I want to be when I grow up. I need to move on from my current pays-the-bills job to something that could be more fulfilling and creative.

Great giveaway!
I'd love to learn to live more simply - I know how to, but I need to learn how to STICK to it. I'd love to continue to stay home with my kids and not go back to work, but I have to learn how to do without all the spoils of my past life.

I would love to learn how to better use my camera and also how to train for a half marathon. My goal is running the Eugene Mararthon in May. We will see how it goes!

I would like to learn patience. I keep having it as a New Year's Resolution to "have more patience" but I don't really think I know how to do that. Perhaps learning what patience means and starting from there would be a big help and a big step in the right direction...
The only problem is- I want it now!! LOL! Just kidding. This is a change I am working on for my family.

I would like to learn to better manage my time. I'm retired now and have LOTS of "free" time, but I still always seem to be running around with deadlines and pressures. Could it be I'm not being the best time manager? :)

I would like to learn how to better manage my time in the next 12 months! I think that might even help my scrapbooking, too, because I would have more time to get pages done! Also, I would like to learn how to have better patience with people. Can you really learn these things in 12 months? I don't know ?!?!?!

Thank you for entering me!
This year I'd like to learn more about digital scrapbooking.
I don't want to only do that but I think it would be a fun addition for elements and portions of the pages.

I would like to learn how to create my own digital elements using Photoshop Elements 6.0 this year. I'm considering signing up for Jessica Sprague's classes, but not sure I want to spend the money. I don't want to do it full time, but I think it would be fun to know how to do it. And I am 100% certain that I will take your class next year at BPS!!!! I am so excited!!!

My biggest hobby, of course, is scrapbooking but my daughters are in knitting 4-H and I would like to learn how to knit. I know how to crochet, and cross-stitch but knitting with my girls would be alot of fun and we can do it in the car when we travel to family's houses across the states.
