Sponsor Giveaways : Willette Designs
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.

Sounds like this is just what I need!! I'm all too often behind the camera, and maybe in front of it 1x/year for our family Christmas card...... this would be a super "back to school" gift for me!Thank you......

What an awesome class! Two hundred years from now, I don't want the future generations of family to think my children were orphans. I need to get out from behind the camera amd make an appearance during the holidays, parties, and family vacations!

Wow! Awesome giveaway! Would love to learn how to put
myself in the photos I take of the grandkids and everyone
else. You would never know that I was even at the event
or with the kids. I would love to win this giveaway, I can't even imagine all the things I would learn. Thank you,
Ali.

What an awesome giveaway!! I have noticed that I have very few shots of myself and this would be a fun way to learn how to make sure i'm included in my family history!

I tend to be a "feast-or-famine" photographer! I'd like to be more consistent, taking more photos of everyday life, perhaps that would encourage me to make my everyday life more interesting! And I too would like to have some photos with me in them.

Sounds like a wonderful class. I love looking through old photos of relatives and agree I need to be in more photos myself.
