Wednesday Giveaways

I have so many things I would like to learn:
how to sew, more scrapbooking techniques - including using photoshop more, pilates (I'm working on my teaching certification), to be a better letter writer, etc., etc.
Thanks for the giveaway.

What great giveaways! I definitely want to learn how to take better pictures with DSLR and use more features in Photoshop elements.

I would like to learn to be more patient. I have realised that i am too impatient with my children, my husband and life in general. I really need to learn to take life more slowly and enjoy the present and stop hurring to the next thing.

Things to learn in '09:
Photoshop
crochet
how to zip my lips when necessary
Excel pivot tables
mail merge labels
patience
how to prioritize
that confidence is the best accessory

It would be great if I could learn to let go of being a 'grown-up' and just be crazy-silly with my toddler boys. I would love to 'lighten up' and not be so stressed/worried/concerned with daily life, and spend a few moments each day just making them laugh.
Thanks Ali - I needed to put that into words.

Hi Ali. Absolutely great giveaways today.
In the net twelve months, I would love to (need to) learn better organizational skills and how to implement them.
Good luck to everyone.

WOW!! So many great items....
During the next 12 months I am going to slow down and enjoy my children and not miss one oppurtunity to be involved!

Wow! That is a great collection of giveaways!
I would like to learn HTML and Javascript in the next 12 months so that I can incorporate it into my blogging, my scrapbooking, and just normal computer use! Fortunately, it looks like I am going to have the opportunity to train for these with my job, so that is pretty exciting!

I would love to learn how to better manage my time and energy so I spend more time scrapbooking instead of thinking about scrapbooking (or just looking at magazines or online sites because I'm too tired to scrap).

Hmm...I'd like to learn to really use the manual settings on my DRebel and would love to "relearn" to sew. It's been years....

You have the best giveaways! I bought photoshop recently and my goal is to become an expert.

i am hoping to learn to knit next year...i already love to crochet! thanks for all your inspiration.

I would just love to learn beading. I soooo need a new hobby ha ha!! Thanks for the great giveaways!!

I am going to learn Photoshop and sewing. I am going to spend 3 months in Poland so it will be easier to achieve my goals just by having more time (a least at the beginning of the year) for Photoshop and my grandmother for sewing who is a real tailor.
I am also going to study English because I have to pass a TOEFL exam to be able to enter a college in USA.
Have a nice day.

Wow the next 12 months there is so much I want to learn on my journey to live a creative life! I want to learn the ins and outs of my rebel, learn more about digital layouts and organizing all my photos, and how to become a better teacher at my LSS as I create and execute my creative workshops.
Oh and of course how to juggle this all while being a good wife and mom!! :) Dawn H

I want to learn: better organization at home, how to take better photos and how to alter a rolodex file.

i want to learn to be a more grounded, loving, considerate, patient, passionate wife and mommy and person. i want to Pay/Pass It Forward every chance i get. i want to start digital scrapbooking and i want to pull out my brand new, NEVER BEEN USED sewing machine given to me by my husband maybe 10 years ago! do you think i might have sewing issues?! =)

Cool stuff Ali! My creative juices are really flowing. In the next year, I plan to learn how to knit and sew as well as finishing the many scrapbooking projects I've started. ~Flora

I would like to learn balance this next year. Between doing the things I want to do and the things I have to do and spending quality time with my family and others I love. Some day's I feel I have to do it all and really I just need some balance.

Hi Ali....wonderful giveaways! WOW, there is so much I would like to learn, but one thing that stands out in my mind is self-acceptance. Pretty heavy huh? On the lighter side, I'd like to learn how to think outside the box when crafting.

Both my husband and I would like to learn more about our digital camera. We've had it for a year, but only use the "program" setting; we want to go a few steps forward! Love the giveaways; how generous. Have a great day!

i'd like to learn how not to let the stress of daily life tie me up in knots. on the outside i'm calm and collected, but inside i get overwhelmed.

Wow! There is so much I want to learn this next year. I want to learn how to take better pictures with my digital SLR. I want to learn to cook very nutritious meals. I also want to learn how to keep my little one from throwing those wonderful temper tantrums. I don't think I can learn that one. : )

I would love to learn how to let go. Of pressure, of expectations, of the unattainable. Whether work, life, family, scrapbooking, friends, whatever. I would love to learn to just be.

I would like to learn how to incorporate more of "me" into my scrapbooks. I do a great job of highlighting family and friends, but when I'm the one taking photos and scrapbooking every moment, I'm afraid I'm not capturing "me!"
