  3. I am a teacher and would love to have the newest edition of the software. My software is 7 years old. We love to make movies, and edit pictures

  4. would love to win this bundle because I need all the help I can get when it comes to my photographs!

  5. I love photoshop Elements and my old computer was very, very slow handling the program so I bought a new computer and my version of elements is not compatible with windows 7. I would really like the newest version.

  6. I would love to win the photoshop package! I have been taking photos for some charity events lately and would like to create a beautifully edited scrapbook (compliments of craft gossip and adobe) I also takes lots of family photos!

  8. I’ve been slowly trying to teach myself Photoshop using the free downloaded bits…would love to have the whole thing!

  9. I would love to win this. I am very new to scrapbooking and am also retired and living on a fixed income and cannot afford to purchase photoshop.

  10. Ihope I will the winner this time. My sons leave for college in about two weeks and I am going to edit our family pictures etc. Would love to have the help of photoshop!

  11. I would absolutely love my life if I could manipulate the photos on the screen the way I see them in my head. Seriously, I know I could make some amazing images and projects with this bundle. The reason I should win is because I appreciate what you do and I’m always sharing the word about craftgossip. It truly is amazing to open an email and have all the crafting inspiration I need at my finger tips.

    Thank you for this opportunity.

  12. I do not take many pictures, because I really don’t know what to do to make them more useful. This would help. Joan

  13. I would love to win. I am an avid digital scrapbooker and my free copy from college was lost when my computer got a virus. I’m also getting married and a new elementary art teacher. I would love this to help design my wedding suite and can’t afford to buy it on my tiny salary.

  14. I keep hearing how great PhotoShop software is but am stuck with the dinky program that came with my computer, and family and friends tell me its almost useless.
    Thanks for considering me as the winner.

  16. This sounds like a great workshop/session. Wish it was online/virtual so I could attend. Sounds like it would be very useful.

  17. I have been an avid photographer since I was a little kid. I’m now 45, disabled with MS, and use photography as a way to express myself and do cool things for my family (in my quilting, as gifts, special picture sessions, etc.)–I’m the “go-to gal” behind the lens. I have a copy of Photoshop–that’s about 20 years old (yes, it’s close to being an original). I don’t travel much–so the seminar is out of the question, but a brand-spankin’ new copy of PS would be FAB-U-LOUS!!!!! (Not to mention–I absolutely love CRAFTGOSSIP! What a wonderful thing to see in my Inbox!!!!

  19. I have a much older version of PE…would love the latest bundle with all the bells and whistles. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  20. Would love to win this. I’ve always wanted Photoshop, but can’t afford it. I have to use free software out there and it’s just not the same!

  21. I’m a grandmother of seven of the most beautiful grandchildren you have ever seen, with lots of pictures. I need a brag book that will make my friends drool over.

  22. I would love to win this! I am really getting into photography, and feel I could take it that much farther if I had Adobe Photoshop. I have been using the free downloads, teaching myself how to do it, but to have the entire program without worrying it was going to expire would be so wonderful! I love nature, old things, and things that occur when Mother Nature works her magic, and am always getting weird looks when I take pictures of things most people just walk by every day. I want to help people see the beauty of things right in front of their eyes. Thank you!

  25. I would love to win this Phoshop by Adobe! My pictures would turn out so much better.

  26. I like to scrapbook and would love to win Photoshop to help with the pictures.

Celebrating Mexican Independence Day

Lots of Americans seem to think that May 5 is Mexican Independence Day, but that holiday actually falls on Sept. 16.

May 5 is the celebration of the Battle of Puebla, in which the Mexicans defeated the French in 1862. Independence Day marks the beginning of their fight for independence from Spain in 1810. That was the day of what’s known as El Grito de Dolores, or the cry of Dolores, for when the Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bells at his church in Dolores and declared that Mexico should be free from Spanish rule. 

They would fight for their freedom until 1821 when they finally gained independence. 

Fabulous Classroom has a little of the history and ideas for celebrating the holiday for all age groups. There’s also a link to a good video in that post about the real story of Mexican Independence Day. 

Twinkl also has a good tops about the history and different activities, discussion ideas, crafts and foods that can be incorporated into lessons at school or used at home. 

I also found a few pins that no longer link to a website but include good information on Mexican Independence Day, including some questions for students to answer based on the reading. You can find more printables and questions for kids from TX Homeschool Mama on Etsy (also available in Spanish). 

You can find a lot more paid resources about Mexican Independence Day at Teachers Pay Teachers. 

Mexican flag crafts are a fun option for celebrating Mexican Independence Day (though the current iteration of their flag has only been in use since 1968). Kids Activities Blog has a free Mexican flag printable and a few different ideas for decorating it including dot markers and torn tissue paper. 

You can also find some great Mexican crafts at Red Ted Art. The post includes all sorts of Mexican inspired projects including Day of the Dead crafts, Frida Kahlo pinatas and upcycled musical instruments. I love the giant paper flowers they shared from Honestly WTF.
