To see who won the class, please stop by this POST for the big reveal!
Hello everyone!
I have some wonderful & exciting news! I am going to be teaching on Life Book 2017 !!! This will be my second time teaching—I was a part of the first Life Book inception several years ago and I am sooooo thrilled to be back again in 2017!
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 organized 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 to get a better idea on what some of my art journal pages/sketches look like for those of you who are new to my art, take a look at these examples here or take a peek at my Etsy Shop:
Dylusions Journal Large
Dylusions Journal Square
Strathmore Visual Journal (mixed media)
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! :)

I would love to win a spot. I've been a looky-loo for years but really want to participate this year. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot.
I would love to win a place on Lifebook 2017. What an amazing lineup of artists you all are, I don't want to miss it!
I am smitten with your work. I think I found you on Etsy this summer. So I was excited to see your name pop up in this list for 2017. Lifebook is a great class. I had access in 2015 but was unable to complete it all due to personal circumstances. I would love to get back to it in 2017. It opened my eyes to a definite deep seated love of mixed media. Your work in particular speaks volumes to me. I did sign up for your newsletter, because I would love to take a class with you specifically! Thank you for your generous sharing. Enjoy the day! Erin
I have been in Life Book for the past two years and I am loving it! It gives me confidence every week to continue in my creative journey. The teachers are amazing, inspiring, caring and talented. I love everything about Life Book!
I'd love to win a spot on Lifebook as it helps me to DO art, instead of just dream about it.
Shared, too, on FB (in fact, shared twice, did the same last week)
however couldn't sign up to your newsletter, then
why do I want to be part of Lifebook 2017? Well, the weekly prompting and teaching from this awesome set of teachers will help me get into a "practice" of art -- a habit designed to bring tranquility and calm to my roller coaster life. I want to win a seat since that is the only way I can participate in 2017 **sigh** thanks for the opportunity!
I shared at Facebook and Twitter! Signed up for your newsletter too. :)
I would love to win a spot!! I had fun with the previous lifebook years but not sure yet if I can afford it this time (long sick leave) so I'm happy I can join the giveaway blog hop. :) I shared the blog at my fb page 'Dryada journals'. Much love!! xxxx

I would love to win a spot because it IS time to start honoring me!
How awesome. I would love to join Life Book next year; 2015 and 2016 have been a challenge but my art commissions are blossoming. I'd like to pursue other mediums, and Life book seems to be a great way to try a variety of styles.
I tweeted https://twitter.com/robinpich/status/775875393152622592 and signed up for newsletter. Excited!!
My comment is longer than most, but I really want to share with you how important Lifebook is to me.....
My life today is far different from 5 years ago.... Five years ago I was busy, loved my job, successful in my career, involved with my kids' school and activities, enjoyed walking and exploring, and looking forward to the next phase of life. December 2010 I began having abdominal pain. I walked around my house for 2 months, telling my kids they were giving me an ulcer. For the next 6 months I continued to get more and more sick. While the doctors were trying to figure out what was wrong, my daughter was in her first year of college, my son a sophomore in high school. Over the next 2 years I was diagnosed with a rare syndrome, had 3 major surgeries, 8 "procedures", and met with doctors from both Mayo Clinic- Scottsdale, and Cleveland Clinic. I continued to work during all of this, even getting a promotion while I was recovering from bypass surgery. I ran a team of computer engineers that supported very important scientists, making a real difference in our country, from a hospital bed.
One day I thought I was feeling well, so I got the grand idea to take my dogs to the park. I was going to take a picture to send to my husband, showing him I was feeling good. One dog got spooked and ran across a semi-busy street. As just a reaction I ran after her..... and passed out while running, in the middle of the street. I ended up with a small scratch on one knee, small scratch on one hand, and most of the bones in my face broken, and a traumatic brain injury. After 2 years of people telling me to go on disability and me fighting it, a dog makes me have to leave.
I'm telling you all of this, because I want to let all of the instructors and artists affiliated with Lifebook how much it means to me. I am dealing with remaining TBI issues and intense chronic pain-- every day. To go from being very active, intelligent, involved, to not being able to add 2+2 in my head hit me hard. Lifebook has helped me work through my issues, my deep depression, and begin to figure out who the 2.0 model of Brenda is.
Thank you for sharing your gift. Thank you for showing me new ways to use my brain. Thank you for helping me like myself again.
I shared on Pinterest and Twitter. I've also signed up for your newsletter. I'm your newest fan, and can't wait to learn from you! Thank you for this second chance in the drawing.
I'd love to take this course to challenge myself to be more creative for ME and learn more about myself in the process.

Orange is my favorite color. :)
I would love to do LifeBook 2017 - a year of art. What's not to like?
I subscribed to the newsletter and shared the link!
I Just learned about life book this month Tam was a guest teacher for A year of healing. I was blown away by her workshop and all she shared about Nonviolent communication. I have been hopping around on the teacher blogs and sites I am loving what you have to say about art. How it's messy fun and healing. Life book has been coming up over and over this past month. Even people I didn't know at Michael's Craft Stores were talking about life book. Really I need to be apart of it this year. Thank you for the chance to win a spot it would be amazing!
I shared on Facebook and signed up for your newsletter :)
there is nowhere else you can get all these talented artists together, and I always learn so much!
glad to see you are joining in again!
I shared this on my twitter!
thanks for a chance to win!
Thanks so much for this chance Jodi!! I would love to win a spot in Life book as I have so many art sisters and friends who have taken this journey, and I have yet to experience it myself.
Crossing my fingers
hugs,Jackie
Hello again Jodi!
Just letting you know, I am already a newsletter subscriber and blog follower and have shared on Twitter and Google+ and commented phew!
Now here is my (see #2 )comment saying so!
hugs,Jackie ")
I am so excited to learn from so many great and varied artists for LifeBook 2017! I shared it on Facebook, thank you so much for the opportunity!
Would love to join everyone in Lifebook! Great to see you will be there!
I've always been inspired by your work and carefree spirit. I would love an opportunity to win a spot for Lifebook 2017. I'm recently retired and this would really help me next year as I'll have lots of time to play. This list of teachers is amazing and it would be so exiting to learn from each of them. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Jodi, thanks for the chance to win a spot on Life Book 2017. Would love to participate because it's about time let my creativity bloom!!!
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 shared on Facebook and signed up for your newsletter for a 2nd chance to win. Thanks much!
Like the other ladies I would love to win. Each of us has a different reason which is amazing to read. I am disabled senior on a fixed income and am no longer able to work. Every year I have wanted to take the class and my brain says do it and the bank account say no way. Not happening. The artists on this LifeBook are amazing and most of them I have followed and this would just be the most amazing experience. I would love to win and I know I wouldn't be disappointed. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck to the others.
Back again. I signed up for newsletter, left a comment and added you to Google+. I don't have Facebook or Instagram.
Thanks for the fabolous opportunity to participate on this giveaway. I have never tried mix media since I find it a bit intimidating but I would absolutely would love to join this fabulous group of artist on this fantastic journey.
I would love to learn from all the awesome artists in Life Book 2017!
I would be honored to win a place in your Life book 2017. Have been wanting to do an art journal but don't know how to begin.
I would love to be able to join Life Book 2017, I think it would be a wonderful way to recharge myself and my creativity. Thanks!
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.
Shared post on twitter and signed up for your newsletter. Love you art ^_^
I’m just of 14 and my aim is to be an artist.I would be very happy if I won the spot because you all great teachers will help me to enhance my creativity and reach my aim to be an artist with very good skills. Thanks for giving us this golden opportunity.And yes also I have signed up for your newsletter.😊
I have had a life altering experience this year in leaving my home of 41 years, lifelong friends and disposing of most of my things. I look forward having a place to creatively deal with the emptiness.
I would love to be able to work with amazing artists and learn from the knowledge shared. Thank you for the opportunity.
