Hello Friends!  

What a great ride Lifebook 2017 has been, it's been such an honor to be among this trip of instructors and amazing students. I've enjoyed every minute. I'm so grateful to my friend, Tamara Laporte for having me for the second time!

While I won't be partaking as a teacher in 2018, I will be as a student and champion of all things Lifebook. In case you are interested in joining in on the fun, check out what is changing for the better & enjoy!

Life Book 2018

New & Improved, Bigger & Better! 

2018 is a special &; exciting year for Life Book because the launch of LB2018 coincides with the publication of Tamara's new book (all about Life Book) AND she is going to make the Life Book offer more holistic by opening the course up to other art forms (like clay work, photography and writing) plus she is also bringing in some more wellness experts that will support you on your wellness/ personal development journey!! It’s very much in line with her very first vision for Life Book when she started dreaming up the concept in 2011! :)

The key differences/ extras this year are: 

• Virtual Life Book Gift (or Swag) Bag!!! :D Everyone who signs up to Life Book gets a virtual ‘goodie bag’ filled with things like: high res prints (for you to print out), exclusive discount codes from teachers and sponsors, free ebooks and ezines and other awesome stuff! yay! Click here to find out what is in the gift bag!
• Additional healing AND art disciplines (Tamara has invited several other experts who do things like yoga/ aromatherapy/ NVC & mindfulness etc plus other art disciplines like sculpture/ doll making/ photography & writing etc to make the entire healing/ wellness aspect of Life Book more holistic (these offers are on top of the art lessons not instead of).
• Tamara will run several Facebook live sessions (first year she is offering this), these will be in the form of: Check ins/ FAQs/ Impromptu art sessions & They will be recorded and available for those who can’t make the live sessions.
• Life long access to all content (this is the first year she is offering life long access to all content, yay!!)
• She is holding a huge prize draw with 20 prizes or so combined worth of £3000 GBP for all people who sign up to Life Book (not part of the blog hop) – This prize draw can only be entered if you sign up to Life Book, prizes include huge bundles of art supplies and other cool creative and wellness items!

Life Book 2017-Big Announcement and GIVEAWAY!!

UPDATED:   Entries are now closed for the giveaway but please check out the post to read more about Lifebook 2017.

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:

(BTW...Here are links to some of my Favorite Journals NOTE-Life Book  projects typically are created on LOOSE papers you bind into your own journal with a specific size water color or mixed paper  at the end of the year. But if you want to just go ahead and put all of your work in one pre-made journal, these would be my recommendations).

   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! :)

Life Book with Tamara Laporte (and me!! along with 14 other artists)!!

I've been waiting to tell you all about this exciting new adventure I'm honored to be a part of with the amazing Tamara Laporte, a internationally known instructor and mixed media artists who's you tube videos, classes, and ning site are a favorite of artists around the world.   Starting January 2012 she is going to debut a fantastic year long journaling/book making class full of videos, pdf files, journal prompts, challenges and more.  Sprinkled in with her monthly themes she is going to share the spotlight with 15 other artists who will guest star throughout each month sharing their take on the monthly theme through a video workshop of their own as well!   Not only that, if you purchase this class, you also have the option of packaging several of her other classes offered with the tuition!! How can you beat that?  January is a great time to re-evaluate your dreams, goals, desires and what better way to do so than through visual journaling?  Be sure to join us!  I will have the spotlight next July but will be playing along throughout the year so I'm super excited to be a part of this one of a kind experience!

This is just one of SEVERAL new projects I will be working on this year as I launch my own business as a full time artist,  Sweet Repeats Studio Shoppe,  Art by Jodi Ohl.  A new beginning starting this October...and hopefully it will last a lifetime with a lot of faith, endless amounts of elbow grease, and the support of my wonderful customers, students and of course my family and friends.   Today is the day to start working on your dreams......Until we meet again my friends, live to create and create to live.
