Life Book 2017 Blog Hop & Give Away!

9/10/2016

Hello everyone!

I have some wonderful & exciting news! I am going to be teaching on Life Book 2017 next year ... YEEHAW! I am tickled pink to be joining this wonderful community of creative explorers as a teacher.

And even MORE exciting news is that I can give away 1 space on this amazing year long art course! Keep reading if you want to find out more about Life Book 2017 and if you want to find out how you can win a spot.

First let me tell you a bit more about Life Book in case you haven't heard about it yet.

“Life Book, a celebration and honouring of YOU” is a year-long mixed media art class organised by Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts.

Tam is joined by 22 incredible art teachers who are all gearing up to share their mixed media (and other) techniques, tips and tricks with YOU! Themed around self-development and healing, you’ll be creating several loose mixed media art journal pages per month which by the end of the year you will bind into a glorious journal (a Life Book)! You will have a wonderful keepsake that you can treasure for the rest of your life!

You can find out a lot more about this wildly popular course (it has been joined by over 12500+ people in the past!) by clicking HERE.

I haven't fully developed my class idea yet ... there are so many MAGICAL possibilities, but here are some examples of my acrylic work that I'm considering working into a journal adventure to take with you. These are all about colour, water, personal meaning and freedom of expression ... and I can hardly wait to share this class with you!

(If you'd like to see more of my journal style click here to see my 2012 journal, done mostly in watercolour.)

Registration opens on October 3rd 2016 and the class begins on January 1st 2017.

So if you want to start the year with a fabulous creative BANG and spend 2017 with a wonderful
creative community of like-minded souls, learning more about art and how to be kinder and more
loving towards yourself, be sure to join once registration opens! :) Keep this page bookmarked so that you can sign up the moment it goes on sale! :)

Oh, wauw! I love what you show us here, you made me already curious for the new year! Still enjoying this year so much as well! What I
Love about LifeBook is the variety of teachers and techniques that we get to enjoy. I learn so much. The community is amazing, so don't want to miss out on that next year. And what I also love is new inspiration in my mailbox every week. Keeps me in the good creative spirit! Thanks to Tam and teachers like you! Thanks already in advance for your lesson!

To heal my soul, mind and body. And to share my healing with my family who also need the same. We had a tragedy this summer and I can't get out of it the side effects. I started following Tamara daily and she is moving me in the right direction. It is rainy and dark today so I am feeling melancholy. I will go bake bread!

Courtney link

9/11/2016 08:08:37 am

Lifebook lessons help me to keep art as part of my weekly life. Life is so busy it is hard to find time to create. Being part of the LB community is valuable as it connects you to others who love the creation process and desire to learn more...as well as inspires you as an individual to keep working on your own art. I love seeing the art created, watching others grow, and learning so much from the teachers.

I would love to win a spot on Lifebook. I am a retired RN and just beginning my path in art over the past several years. It would be so great to learn and explore not only art by my true self as well.

Fiona Jackson

9/11/2016 09:06:31 am

I have to be involved in LB next year as I would miss it SO much if I wasn't. You see it's been a huge part of my life for the past two years and it brings me happiness, teaches me not only how to become a better artist, but also how to use my art to help heal, and to become a better person. I really would love to win a spot for LB 2017, as otherwise next year is definitely going to be a dull one. Thanks for this opportunity <3

I have participated in Life Book for the past two years and would love to be able to continue into 2017. I have gained so much from the experience - the diversity of the teachers, the variety of techniques demonstrated, the positivity and encouragement of the community - and would love to experience more of that while continuing to develop my skills with mixed media and grow as an artist. Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot!

I did Lifebook 2014 and loved it. Didn't have time for 2015 and 2016 but I just got laid off work so I'm ready to get back into it and learn from some fantastic teachers! LB is a great value and a wonderful experience. I love being part of Tam's world!

as a yoga teacher and healer - i don't always get the time in to be creative in the ways that lifebook encourages and I would be so happy to get back on the artistic horse and do art. the year I did this course in the past was so exciting and inspirational - i never thought I could even do art - but lifebook showed me I was wrong! thanks for the opportunity!

Amy McGrath

9/11/2016 12:44:11 pm

I did Life Book a couple of years ago and it inspired me to start art school. I would love to participate again so that I can experience the course with the new teachers!

9/11/2016 12:58:54 pm

I took the Life Book course in 2014 and it was absolutely fantastic! I had to take some time off from my art for family health reasons and I'm ready to get back to creating. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you and all of the other amazing instructors in 2017!

OH! my what an awesome opportunity. I would love this amazing gift of learning from so many talented artists. I have only just started out in art journaling and painting, the opportunity to expand and be more creative would be wonderful. I also have been a fan of abstract art for a very long time. It's so exciting to know that these art courses are out there for us to enjoy and create. Life Book 2017 would be an experience of a life time. Good luck to everyone who is entering.

One reason I love Life Book is discovering the work of the artists who are teachers. I am really looking forward to learning from you, and as money is tight for me, winning the class would be great. I'm sure I'll find a way to take it. It's become a passion. Thanks for giving me a chance to win.

Lura Brown

9/11/2016 04:37:47 pm

Life Book is a Life Line to me. I was not able to take it this year unfortunately due to financial reasons. I love Life Book and Tamara so much. It is by far THE BEST class of any. so many talented teachers that change each year, you learn so much and it keeps you busy every week a new lesson. it is so much value for the money. unfortunately i dont make enough money being disabled to afford buying art classes so i am sure wishing and hoping with all my might that i can win a spot. thank you so much for chance. good luck to everyone!!

Hi Donna! Thanks so much for a chance to win a spot in LB 17. There are numerous reasons why I'd like to win. The most important is that I need I am in the process of discovering what my life's purpose is through doing art, and I feel like I need to continue down that path. Learning from teachers like you and everybody else is the way to keep going, and I really need to keep moving forward. I hope you will consider me.

Angela Robinson

9/11/2016 05:29:50 pm

I would love to win a spot! I need to learn to accept my art as it is and not be so over critical. I would just love to soak up as much knowledge from these amazing artists as I possibly can.

Julie Bishop

9/11/2016 06:01:24 pm

Lifebook 2016 has changed my life! I love to learn and have the curiosity of a child at the age of 52 that keeps me going. Yet, I have so much I want to do and can't seem to get it out on paper. My creativity is stuck inside my head and it wants to get out. The wonderful artists and women I have met are an inspiration to me and I look forward after work everyday to do art in any way, shape or form. It would be so much fun to win a free spot!

Shirley

Sue Schultheis

9/11/2016 06:56:48 pm

I would love to join LB 2017 to learn as much as I can from you and the other truly talented, creative and wonderful teachers.

I wasn’t able to join the prior Life Books and would appreciate and love to win a spot with all you fabulous artists! I’m 58 (yikes) and have been doing artwork off and on for many years but never really found my niche. I’m new to Mixed Media and love it! I believe I have found an art form that fascinates me and I truly enjoy! I want to learn all I can!

Veronika Olivier

9/11/2016 11:14:46 pm

Oh wow! I would really like to win this because I don't have the money to pay for it. Embarrasing to say it but it's the truth. I volunteer my time and materials at a local Day Centre that looks after disabled young adults. I want to do LB specifically because I am teaching them Art on Tuesdays and would love to learn more techniques to teach them. We make art throughout the year to sell at their annual fundraiser because they are not government funded. I love what I do. I don't care that I am not paid. I always dreamt of becoming a famous artists but if this is what I am meant to do, I will do it. Holding thumbs and sending a few good luck vibes to everyone!

Just so you know, the page for signing up for your newsletter is refusing to allow me to sign up saying "too many subscribe attempts for this email address". I even tried with an email address that I use for NO subscriptions. Still didn't work.

Erin Prais-Hintz

9/12/2016 07:26:40 am

I am getting an error in subscribing to your newsletter, but will try again later. I love your loose and vibrant style! I was in Lifebook 2015 and it lit a fire under me to pick up paints and do more mixed media. I couldn't participate this year so I would love to get back into it. I scrolled down and read your post about 10 ways to paint like you. I think that is what is at the heart of Lifebook. The abundant variety of creative expressions, art supplies and materials is one thing, but I was able to find my own sense of style from each of the lessons. And the loving support and encouragement of people from around the globe all doing this together is probably my favorite part. Thank you for being a generous soul! Enjoy the day! Erin

Hello Donna.
Amber Kuileimailini spread the word of your website and I love to get to know you and your work and also all the other great ladies of life book 2017. It would be a great inspiration for me throughout the next year. This year I painted a lot with acrylics and did a bit mixed media. I love to try different techniques for mixed media.
Best regards

THANK YOU for not requiring a post at facebook or twitter or somewhere! :D
But here is why I want to be part of Lifebook 2017 -- well, art is wonderful and I want to be part of a yearlong set of prompts and teaching in a community of others on the same journey. I want to learn more about mixed media and the line up of teachers is pretty awesome. the only way I can participate is to win a place in the class ... :D

I would love to win a slot for Life Book 2017 in order to study with so many amazing artists. I have little confidence in my ability and if I understand correctly, building self-confidence and freeing students to express themselves artistically is the main goal of Life Book.

I have been part of Life book for the first time this year and it is more amazing than I ever could have imagined. Even when I have been unable to complete the lesson for that week it has encouraged me to draw daily and to keep going with my art. The posts from the facebook group have filled my news feed with the beauty and the positivity that I needed to get through a very difficult year. The welcoming community that makes up Lifebook is something I need in my life and for all these reasons above I want to be part of Lifebook in 2017

I would love the chance to win a place in Lifebook 2017. It would be a unique experience to learn from many different artists the many different styles till I find my own. It will also teach me to have an art space , that is, a prompted and dedicated time and place amongst the busyness of life. Lifebook would be my book of creative life, where my soul's desires would whisper there loudest. Thanks for this opportunity.

Linda Riley

Life Book is new to me, but I would really like to try it. I love all the different styles that will be presented. Actually, what I saw in your 2015 Life Book is very similar to work I have done in the past. The 'picture' then words with it---I've done it! It is a good way to remind me of that time, whatever it was. Thanks for sharing (hope I win!)

Hi Donna. I'm barely sweaking in under the wire-lol. Nice to meet you through this blog hop. I'm so excited that in trying to win a spot for Life Book 2017 I am getting the opportunity to meet so many new-to-me artists. Even if I'm unable to win a spot and therefore unable to participate in Life Book 2017, I will have signed up to receive updates from all these amazing artists. That alone will have an impact on my self discovery.

I'm interested in working in the Life Book class for several reasons. As I'm new to playing with art as an adult, I'm looking forward to being exposed to different techniques so I can explore what really brings me joy and satisfaction to play around with. I also like the emphasis on exploring about me. I imagine this will be prompts to explore questions about my life within an particular lesson. I think that is an awesome idea. Art is such a personal, subjective experience. Then to have all the lessons come together at the end of the year to be an art journal that I can look back on for years to come for inspiration and to see how much I've grown. Obviously, I could do this on my own but to already have the structure there and a group of people to communicate with and in a way be accountable to, will help to motivate me to continue and push through on those weeks when art just doesn't seem to be a priority. Those are probably the weeks I'll need to journal in my art journal the most!

Thank you for the opportunity!

Cheers!

Ashley
