Wednesday Giveaways

I would love to learn to use my photo shop program. I want to learn how to sit with my son's Aspergers and just live in the moment, even when the moments hurt. And I want to learn how to help my husband get through his health crisis... most of all I want to learn (continue to learn) to be happy in every moment because there is only now.

I want to learn how to make a career out of creative therapy:)

In the coming year I want to learn how to sew. Now I just need a few more hours in the day to be able to do all the things that I love. :o)

i would like to learn more of the functions of my dslr. i've had it for years and i think it's about time i figure out how to maximize it's worth! thanks, ali.

Three things:
-use photoshop beyond cropping and changing picture levels
-go into the scary Av, P, Tv, and M modes on my great Canon Rebel XTi! (getting a new lens for X-mas and I really need to start doing it justice)
-learn how to be a mommy to my 18 month old-his emerging independence is really making me feel like I'm the worst mom on the planet when everything seems to be a "no!" right now!

I want to learn how to take indoor photos without a flash. And I will learn to machine quilt in 2009. I will. I will. I will!

I still haven't given any digital elements a chance. (other than my camera) I would like to learn basics of incorporating digital techniques into my scrapbooks. I only have an older version of iphoto and I just haven't taken time to learn how to add details to photos. I am expecting a version of photo shop in the mail soon so hopefully I can start trying some things.

I would like to learn more about photography. Thanks for the giveaways.

I would love to learn how to use glitter glaze and other adhesive to incorporate more glitter into my pages.

I would love to learn to seek balance in my life. I seem to be a bit out of control with my craftiness, when I should really just clean the house or snuggle my kids. Yeah. I need balance.

There are so many things I would love to learn, it's hard to say but since you asked I would have to say learn how to capture and record more meaningful things. I use to scrapbook every picture I took and would not really focus on details. I'm trying to see the small things and record them. Discovering your site a year ago has inspired me more then you know. Thanks Ali!
Thanks for the great giveways!

Photoshop!!
Thanks for the great giveaways!

i really want to learn how to sew!

I would like to learn a lot of things - how to use alcohol inks from Ranger, how to incorporate my faith into scrapbooking, to learn the new canon camera we plan to buy this month (and how to take better shots), how to continue to simplify our belongings and life, how to recycle more of our garbage (and to find the appropriate containers for it too!!!), how to actually cook a turkey on my own (I'm thirty years old and still actually haven't done that!!!), to continue to learn to discipline myself in terms of time and event planning for our family of five. I could go on and on! There's so much more that I want to learn and do this year! :)

I would like to learn to let go of my perfectionism. It is so limiting and stressful to have everything "just so." Your saying has become one of my mantras: "Embrace imperfection." I am working on setting time limits for projects and chores, and also realizing that good enough is just that - good enough. Thanks for the great blog - I am loving my December Daily album and so are my sister and mom. Yes, I made three - BUT, I rejoiced in their flaws and uniqueness!

In the next year, I want to try and use some of the fun techniques with different products that you use as well as the various methods used on the 12 Tags example on the blog by Tim Holtz. I am also trying to constantly learn how to live the best life possible for me and my children so was looking at the Hall workshop as something I would like to do for me next year.

hi ali! great prizes!
in the next 12 months i am going to be in a nursing course...so i'm hoping i can learn everything i need to learn at a good pace. i hope i don't fall behind or fail out of the class or something!! i would like all of that knowledge to just pour itself into my brain so i can stop stressing about not knowing.
ah well, this too shall pass right?? can't wait to see your next december page!

I'd love to simply learn to "relax" and to go with the flow a little more often. I sometimes feel frantic trying to document, record, get all the things done that I don't want to ever forget. The holiday season seems to bring on different emotions and I get a little too stressed. I love my life, but I need to learn to ...slow down down and enjoy the journey a little more.

Love this blog and need to post pics of my december album! Cool giveaway and there are so many things I want to learn this year. I want to learn more about using my cricut and I want to learn to monogram things with my mom's sewing machine and i want to learn how to be a better working mom! Finding it very hard to manage everything right now! What a list!!

I really want to learn the art of soldered jewelry next year. I have started getting my supplies now I just need the time to start playing!
