Wednesday Giveaways

Hello Ali!
There are a LOT of things I want to learn this year.
One... i really want to learn to knit because i see all these fun knit things that I want to do, but i never knew how!
I also want to learn to DRIVE! I'm 21 and i STILL don't have a driver's license! It's getting embarrassing!

There are so many things I want to learn in the next 12 months. The most important of all of them is German. My husband and I live in Germany, though we're in the US for two months. He speaks perfect German, and I don't want to use him as my crutch forever.
Thank you!
Katie

There are a lot of things I would like to learn this year. How to balance work and home a little better. How to be better with money. How to become more organized. Geez, I have a lot of work to do!

I have three learning related goals for 2009 so far:
- improve my Spanish
- learn new rock climbing techniques
- learn to finish projects once I start them

I want to learn more about digital scrapbooking, enhancing my photoshop skills. I really want to focus on simplification and learning how to organize my home. But most importantly, I want to learn how to potty train my 3 1/2 year old daughter who has no desire to perfect this skill. Sigh :-( Thanks for all you do Ali and I look forward to following your blog in the coming year. Libbi M. libbi@ccountry.net

Hi Ali, I've been thinking about what my word would be already and this fits in nicely. I want to finally, and for the last time, gain control over my finances -- instead of feeling the other way around. That's what I want to learn and somehow that is going to be my word, too. Thanks for doing this!

Ooooh those are so great and generous!! I want to learn how to paint better and just all around let myself experiment more and have fun with painting, drawing and crafting in general.

I'd love to learn to organize myself to be efficient, and be able to relax; that was my word for this year, didn't manage all the year thru, and I wish I could learn to use computer and be able to go digital some day !!! ;)

I would love to learn more about photography and how to use my camera to take GREAT PICTURES.

This year I want to learn more about using Photoshop, so I can make digital scrapbook pages.

Great give aways..thanks Ali!
I would love to learn to take better pictures and then work on my photoshop skills.

Hi Ali,
I would like to learn Photoshop Elements and to scrap digitally.
Thanks!

I want to learn how to sew. My mother can sew anything, but when I was little,I got embarrassed when I had homemade clothes so I never appreciated her talent. Now that I have a son of my own, my mom makes him tons of neat things (he was the best dressed lion on Halloween)and I just love anything she makes. It makes it so much more special knowing that she takes the time to make things especially for him. In the coming year, I want spend more time with Mom and have her share her talent.

Fun giveaway!! My kids love to pretend in their play kitchen and I would love to learn how to make felt food!

I want to learn how to manage a job that has huge potential to be a fabulous career booster but is painful at the same time. I'm struggling each day to figure out how to make it work - and I will. I just want to be able to figure out a way to let me do it as painlessly as possible.

2009 will be my year to shine. In the next 12 months I would like to get my t-shirt line productively started. I have so many things sketched and now just need to GO. I am also thinking about my 2009 'word.' This will be the 3rd year that I have chosen a words and I have to tell, they sure are powerful!

i would like to learn how to manage my time and money better in the next 12 months.

I love learning on a daily basis...but a goal for 2009 is to learn how to make my own jewlery. I love the beads, the details and yet I am struggling on spending time doing it while I want to be scrapping or card making!

I'm always about learning. I love to learn new things. I think what I really want to learn most is how to effectively use my time in making my scrapbooks. I need to be able to feel more comfortable in just getting layouts done instead of stressing over how the colours look. Like trying to learn your approach on life of getting the moment on paper and not worrying about making it to frilly.

This next year I would love to learn more about photoshop and photo editing, and start doing something with the digital pages I've already done.
I'm also doing the daily December album, and am enjoying it so much! Thank you for your inspiration Ali! Blessing to you!
