Life Book 2017 Blog Hop & Give Away!
Hello everyone!
I have some wonderful & exciting news! I am going to be teaching on Life Book 2017 next year! I feel so honored and grateful to be a part of this wonderful class.
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 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, but I’m excited to be sharing abstract painting techniques with you, much like you can see in this painting:
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! 🙂
Now then, onto the give-away and blog hop! 🙂 I can give away 1 space on Life Book 2017 to 1 lucky winner, yay! 🙂 And if you follow the blog hop (see below for links and dates) you can up your chances of winning a space by entering all the other give-aways also! 🙂

I shared on Facebook. 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! The exposure of these classes is awesome and exciting and I want to learn and try all the different styles that I can.

Shared on FB. Fingers crossed I win a spot in LB 2017! Amazing opportunity. Thanks.
I am friends with Tam, too, but was not much interested in this until I realized that this class might give me some inspiration for my Mixed Media Encaustics. So here I am…shared and hoping to win a spot from a different perspective!
I have shared your blog on Twittter and Google +. 🙂
I would love to be a part of LB 2017! I want to grow more as an artist but also as a person. I live with chronic pain and I can honestly say that art has saved my life, and keeps on saving me. It’s almost like therapy. I love to make art, because it makes me feel so much better and I forget the pain for a while.
There’s so many awesome teachers that I want to learn from, seems like such a wonderful class! ❤
I live with so much pain everyday that I need a creative distraction to help get me through the day. Life Book sounds like an amazing way to work through my pain and have something incredible to show for it. Please pick me, I would be so grateful. Thank you.
Shared on Twitter (https://twitter.com/OracleGaia/status/779044186054070276) and am now off to share some more! Thanks so much for this opportunity to win a place.

Shared on Pinterest. I love to do art but I need guidance, inspiration and instruction. The artist/teachers look so amazing, I would love to learn from them!
I shared on Google+ and Pinterest! Fingers crossed!!
Shared on Facebook and Twitterverse! I haven’t been able to do any art for over a decade due to introjects that keep my art in the past. Lifebook seems like the perfect way to overcome these obstacles. Thank you for the giveaway and the chance to give my art back to me! Namaste
I was in the Lifebook 2015. Due to some unforeseen family issues I was unable to fully participate. But the little that I did (and I have since gone back to some of the lessons that I managed to download before the end) really opened my eyes to the world of mixed media. It propelled me into making a line of illustrated word art. And set me on a path to making mixed media canvases. In fact, right now I have an art gallery exhibit that features them! So I would dearly love to get back to it in 2017, really dig my heels in and immerse myself in this chaotic creative and compassionate community! The community is what I miss the most. Your art is truly a breath of fresh air! I love the colors and the textures, the images and the abstracts. Thank you for being so generous! Enjoy the day! Erin
so looking forward to this new lineup! and meeting new artists, I feel this is the best part of the class, you get to be introduced to new artists and learn fun techniques as well!
