I would be so excited to participate as one of the giveaway spots for Life Book 2015. I have a girl friend who partipcated in one of the previous years and her artwork from it is awe- inspiring. She also talked about how it fueled her soul creativily and helped her feel centred in her life. This year has brought many changes and challenges. I have tried to work through it by investing in myself with as many tutorials and classes as I can. However, being on a budget and having a growing family ( 2 1/2 years and 7 months) sometimes it is not feasible to enrol in the classes that might give you the biggest challenges, best rewards, and contemplative soul searching. I hope to be chosen as a candidate for one of the sponsored spots as it would greatly impact my day to day life and growth in a positive way. Thank you so much for the opportunity and for putting together what looks to be a fantastic class.
All the best.
Peace. Love. Art.

OMGoodness!!! I would LOVE to win a spot on Life Book!! I have always been a scrapbooker and started seeing stuff about Art Journaling a few years ago. I watched as many youtube videos as I could find - I was so fascinated and swept away. Tam, Christy Tomlinson, and you, Donna, were the artists I watched the most that inspired me:) A few years later and I am creating Art on a regular basis!! I have discovered other great artists and continue to look at and watch your stuff along with Tam and Christy's. I love the "Wednesday" art journaling videos:) If I won a spot, you'd proabably hear me shouting all the way from Kentucky! LOL

Posted by: rita timmons | October 02, 2014 at 08:54 AM
Oh wow what a fantastic opportunity to win a place, thank you. I have looked at this course but not took it before as I didn't feel ready in my art. Two years later and at last I am comfortable in my art, I am at one with my heart and art and think that this would be the time to learn more about soul finding with my art. I have a bad back due to digenerated disc disease and really think that if they could put art in a pill/tablet there wouldn't be a lot of pain in the world. Happy Creating ☺ Kezzy xxx
