** UPDATE – there were eleven people that did not meet the criteria below so I have managed to squeeze a few of the latecomers on to the NICE list – the successful photographers will receive an email tomorrow night (9th November) xx
UPDATE – All 120 places have been filled, however there have been a couple of duplicate applications & others have not followed the instructions by either not completing the form fully or leaving a comment below. I will cross reference the list and post an update on Tuesday 8th November. Looks like this years workshop is going to be a blast with all these NICE people.
Do you want to say good-bye to those crummy christmas pictures of years gone by ? Can you work with tight timescales ? Each day for the first twelve days of December workshop photographers will receive a photographic assignment. You will then complete the assignment and upload your favourite image to forum the following day before 12 noon to receive feedback. The short deadline is intended to keep you focused and “make” you pick up that camera. A little pressure is good for the left side of the brain to get those creative juices flowing. Are you upto the challenge ?
12 Days of Christmas 2011 Workshop has had a make-over with a couple of new assignments, including photo editing. Don’t forget to leave a comment below telling me why you should be on Santa’s NICE LIST.
This workshop is aimed at all levels of photographers from beginners to semi-pro’s.
Class starts on 1st December.
I think I should be on Santa’s good list because I have been a very good girl this year. Just ask me and see what I tell you!
I had a fantastic time last year, learnt soooooo much, and had some brilliant photos as a result. 
I did the last course and it was really helpful as I hadn’t really used my camera to it’s full potential. Got some good tips in a language I could understand! Would love to learn more!
Can’t believe it’s time for this fab workshop again. Thanks for offering it again CJ – you’re definately on Santa’s nice list
I would love to join in again and see what the new assignments are. No matter how many of your workshops I do I always learn something new but echo what Chris D has said if it’s oversubscribed to offer a newbie instead. xx
Oo I look forward to doing this great fun to join in thank you so much
Would love to be on santa’s list this year-have only managed one of your classes so far, they fill up too quick!
Thank you for the chance to participate
I think I should be on Santa’s nice list as I try to spread the love by taking all the photos at family events including Christmas – which means I make the sacrifice and don’t even get to be in any of the photos!!
I would love a chance to do this please. Last years Christmas was horrible due a bereavement in our family, so we had no photo’s. I would love a chance to be able to take some wonderful photos and have some good Christmas memories this year. x
I completed the 12 days of Christmas last year and I thoroughly enjoy it. I learn’t so much, would love to do it again this year.
I’m hoping I make Santa’s nice list as my christmas photos are never great and I would love to know how to take better ones.
I am only just starting out, but LOVE taking pictures. It would mean a lot if I could get on this course. I need all the help I can get!!
Would love to take part in this course, missed it last year and could really do with a creative boost. Find it hard to take good photos this time of year due to low light levels……can you help me?
Hi Cheryl! This is a great idea and I would love to feel the ‘pressure’ and the excitement! Looking forward to learning a bunch of new things and having a great time shooting photos! Best regards, your fellow BYW classmate andriana
I’d like to be on Santas nice list – it’ll make a change
really want to make the most of this winter and try to document it too
I think I should be on Santa’s NICE list, because I have spent the last four Christmases working very hard, with every minute not spent with my children writing assignments. This will be my first christmas with time for me and I would love to learn how to take better photos of my family and home for scrapping.
fingers crossed.
xxxx
Fingers crossed I’m not too late- really enjoy doing these courses.
I think I should be on Santa’s good list because I’ve been working so hard this year and should be allowed to have a little time to play with my camera and learn loads!
Hi I should def be on Santas nice list…. erm so many reasons which one to choose ( tongue in cheek)! I love Christmas and everything that goes with it.
Can’t wait for CJ’s challenges.

Guess I missed the boat on this one. Went to fill out the form and it wouldn’t let me. Dang it!
OOh hope your elves let you know that I’ve been a good girl this year! Would so love to do this course – thanks for the opportunity xxx
Is it full already? Won’t let me fill out the form
I would love to be on Santa’s good list now I’ve sorted out my PC – I promise to do my homework…
I have learnt sooo much with your courses this year Cheryl and look forward to doing the 12 days – if I am allowed. Dear Santa -mmm I have been a good girl most of the time!!! I think x
Hi Cheryl. I would love to do your course please! And I should be on Santa’s nice list because I’ve been a good girl and have kept up with all my Blogging Your Way homework! X
same here it won’t let me fill in the form:( I have been good ! lol
I can’t open the form either…I would really like to take part!
I would love to be on santa’s nice list this year as I got so much from the course last year and would love to try the new assignments now I have some new kit for my camera and have a macro lens on my christmas list
– I am also having trouble filling in the form am I too late, is it closed?
I am hoping I am not too late for this…I took this last year and totally LOVED it! Learned some excellent things about my camera..I so hope there’s room for one more…me? x
I hope I’m on Santa’s nice list because I’ve had horrible luck with cameras over the last few months while caring for my Mom with Dementia, and many other family members (which means I have to save up for a new camera since I can’t work a regular job). I’m trying to update my blog and work from my studio (at Mom’s) and my “need to do for family” always seems to outweigh my “want and need to do to get my art business back up and running” list.
I’ve heard that your classes are great! Thanks!
Yay email received and I am on Santa’s nice list
. Can’t wait to get started
I just saw your note in our Blogging Your Way comment section. I would LOVE to be included in your free workshop. Thank you for offering it to us.
