Wednesday Giveaways

Those scrapbooks and those supplies are making my mouth water! In the next twelve months I'll be a student of many things. I've already decided that the year will be one of major personal growth and, in some ways, transformation. One of the specific things I hope to learn is painting technique. I know that I have the hidden potention, but I'd like to unlock it. I can continue to self-teach, but my goal is to enroll in a local art school to get an MFA. I guess I decided to believe my friends and family when they say, "Wow, you made this? This is really good."

Where should I start? I would like to learn to knit, to find better ways to teach my students, and, most of all, be always calm and patient with my wonderful family.

I'd like to learn how to take better photographs. Hence, I've been looking into photgraphy classes.

your little tummy (in the tree photo) is soooo cute!!!

i don't really know what to narrow it down to...I just like to learn - things to make me a better mom, better at my job, and a better Christian I guess...

I want to learn how to make jewelry someday! I think Stephanie Lee's book was great, and how interesting the way she hunts for pieces to use to make her jewelry. I don't know if I would have the patience for it, but it would be nice to try (I know I would like the hunting for it part!)

I would like to actually read the manual to my camera, instead of faking it:(
Thanks for the chance :)

Over the next 12 months I would like to delve into using actions. I am a photography nut and this is the next step for me!!

okay... here is what I would like to learn in the next 12 months.
*How to stay saine when all three of my kids are crying or yelling at one another. * How to have self control when it comes to scrapbook supplies. *How to keep my house a little cleaner. (Living with three little kids 4, 2.5 and 1.5 years it is hard to keep a clean house.) Especially when I dont like cleaning in the first place...hey that is probably my issue...not wanting to clean. * That is plenty to learn in the next 12 months. Let's see how many I can accomplish. Wish me luck. :)Sesil

I would love to learn how to knit in 2009. It's been on my TO-DO wish for for many years. My mother makes beautiful scarves, hats, and mittens for other people. I would love to learn to knit so that I can also give gifts that will keep people warm on the outside as well as on the inside!

how to use my new crop a dile big bite i just bought today!

I'd love to take a photography class this next year and learn how to take better pictures. Now that I have a little one, I want to capture everything perfectly.

I would really like to become more adept at digital scrapping and begin to incorporate it with my 'paper' scrapping, blend the two.

I am trying to learn how to lift weights and do resistance exercises over the next year. After years of running I want to be stronger. Craftwise, I want to learn more about digital scrapbooking SO BAD. I need a true beginners course that will dumb everything down for me.
Thanks!

I love checking out your December Daily pages and am having fun doing mine too (only I started mine the day before Thanksgiving!!)
In the next year I want to learn about photography... F-stop, white balance, shutter speed, etc. etc. etc.! I want to be able to play with the manual settings on my new camera!

Great giveways!! in the next 12 months i would love to to master how to use my camera and how to take better pictures.

In the next 12 mos I would like to get further into photoshop. I know it a bit, but would like to know it better!

I would like to learn French (and I don't mean French Fries:))

I want to learn how to use my new D60, so I joined (this morning!) a local photography group and will be going with them on photo walks and participating in the critiques after.

I'm currently enrolled in Karen Russell's photography class and am LOVING it. I can't wait to learn about aperature and focus.
