Wednesday Giveaways

Great giveaway Ali!! I also love, love, love your December Daily album so far. It has been fun doing it so far. In the next twelve months, I would like to learn a lot more about photography and digital scrapbooking.

i'd really like to continue to develop my love of photography!

Would love, love to win!! It has been a long dream of mine to learn how to do photography and Photoshop. Pick me, pick me!!!

Hypertufa garden troughs!!

under the wire...me please!!
I really want to learn how to be better organized in life...winging it is so tiring!!

This class looks so exciting and a year long is just more than anyone could ask for. Very inspiring.

I want to learn to live confidently, to give myself fully to what I am doing without feeling guilty for not doing something else instead. I want to learn to love others more fully.

Great giveaways, Ali! There are so many things I would love (& need) to learn but most of all would be...patience. I need to learn it and practice it daily. Definitely.

wow! this ia a great list of reponses! You really have the attention of alot of people. how wonderful, how inspiring. What I'd like to learn this year....good one. Hmmm, I always need to learn more about how to simplify my life. How to not pile it on so much. It's such a big word for me - SIMPLIFY. And i want to learn how I can best inspire confidence in others.

Hey Ali, I think my mantra for 2009 is going to be "Balance"; seeking it out in every way possible and striving for it in every aspect of my life. I just turned 40 in October and it's really been a pivotal time for me. I don't know if I'm having a mid-life crisis or what, but I've really been struggling with questions about what I've accomplished in my life so far, how those things define me as a person, and who I really want to be "when I grow up". I've found that I've become bolder and more courageous in some ways, but am discouraged by how I still seem to get bogged down in the drudgeries of daily life. So... I feel a real need to find balance and a sense of peace about who I thought I would be and who I am, my responsibilities and my desires, what people expect of me and who I want to become.
Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Robert Fulghum
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony. Thomas Merton

This coming year is going to be the year that I find a way to put myself, my health (both mental and physical)and my love of crafting art front and center...instead of dead last or whenever there is time, which there never is. Thank you for sharing Ali.

I'd love to learn how to ice skate. Now that I live in a cold climate, I ought to find something I enjoy doing when it is freezing outside :-)

This coming year I want to learn how to speak Spanish more fluently.

There are many things I would like to learn, however the most attainable goal I have is to learn how to be an elementary librarian and receive my certification for this area. I would also like to learn to use Photoshop; like everyone else:)

I have learn that you need more than photos in your scrapbook. Having events with no photos isn't a bad thing it's actually a good thing. I have limited my self to a simple amount of photos when we go out.

Learning to keep myself organized would be a great gift to myself this year. Thanks for your constant inspiration!

I would love to learn a few things... some serious... some not... like learn to live without diet cola... or learn to sew... but the biggest thing would be to learn to be independent... especially financially from my parents... that's what happens when you finish college I guess... thanks for the chance to win...

I would love to learn to be more organized and productive with my days. :) No more wasted time for me!

Oohh- just barely made the cutoff! Lucky me, maybe I'll be extra lucky and have my name drawn! Love your festive-ness Ali!

I'd like to learn more about Shakespeare.
I'd like to learn more advanced spanish-maybe take a literature course.
I'd like to learn how to encourage acceptance and diversity in others.
