GIVEAWAY :Three people will receive a spot in willette's new fun, laid-back online class Finding Your Joy - Capturing Your Life Through Photos.
When you really look at all the photos you have of your family, how many photos are there of YOU? I discovered after printing my family photos for the year, that I was only in a handful of photos out of over 1000 photos. Finding YOUR joy is my personal quest to better document my own life (and my quest to help you do the same). I would hate for my children to see all of our family photos and wonder where I was (when in actuality I was there…I was just behind the camera). This three week online e-journey will help you explore how to capture your own life in photos and how to escape from always being behind the camera.
Class begins September 7, 2010, and the lessons are emailed once a week and are presented on a private class forum website. Along with weekly lessons are free template downloads, video tutorials and photoshop and photoshop elements video tutorials. The class is a do-it-at-your-own-pace class….you can download the materials and do them at a time convenient to you. Along with the forum is an online photo gallery to share your assignments if you choose (but sharing is not a requirement).The class fee is $45. To register visit here. To learn more, and to find out about willette’s wildly successful Finding the Joy (upon which this mini class is designed) visit here. Please note that no discounts may be used for this or any workshops. Visit willette on the web at http://willettedesigns.com/.
Recommended class materials include: a camera (any kind), a photo editing program such as photoshop or photoshop elements, a tripod (recommended but not required), and a desire to capture yourself and your life with your camera. For those who sign up, welcome packets will be emailed by September 1, 2010 with pre-homework.

This class would be wonderful. I scrap about myself, but much of the time it doesn't include a photo of me. There are so few photos of me over the years. I wish I could undo the past!!!
Happy Saturday----thanks for the chance to win >J<

I am hardly ever in ANY photos because hubby isn't good with my camera. Almost every shot he takes is BLURRY and he blames the cameral; of course, it seems to work fine for me 95% of the time. (His photo composure is quite good if only he would figure out the auto-focus and not screw around with holding his breath, since that doesn't appear to be helping his photo-taking skills.) YES, maybe I need to learn how to take self-portraits.... what a GREAT GIVEAWAY!

I think that this would be soooo good for me. I usually try and make it a point to NOT be in pictures because I am so self concious, so this would be really great for me to get past that. I really honestly hope I win to see how far I can push myself.
