• 30 Days of Art Journaling Giveaway

    Posted on August 30, 2011 by in Art Journals

    EDITED 9/1/2011
    I wanted to start out by saying Thank You to each and every one of you. Your comments about the class and my YouTube videos have just really meant so very much to me. When I thought about doing a giveaway I never expected the amazing benefit of hearing from so many of you like this. In many ways it is a gift right back to me.

    In the spirit of such generosity from all of you for your overwhelming support I have opted to add two more seats to the class. I promise I will still be available to each and every person to answer questions and be supportive to you all. I just really wanted to honor as many as I can and still be able to handle the number of students in the class.

    Thank you so much! I will contact each of the winners privately via email.

    And the winners (I used the random generator from random.org) are:

    #67 Anne Gaal
    #29 s
    #24 Cynthia H
    #19 Nina
    #4 Michelle Menser

    Congratulations to the winners. I will be sending you an email and enrollment information. If you don’t receive it in a few hours please get in touch with me.


    I am giving away three seats to my art journaling class. All you have to do is leave a comment in the comments section below. This is a thank you to all of my blog readers and YouTube fans.

    I will close the comments and do the random draw at midnight EST tomorrow. Just in time for the start of class on September first!

    Good luck!

  75. Shari says:

    I am so impressed with your generosity in giving away 3 seats in your new class. Truthfully, I just came across your blog and am not really familiar with your art. I am new to art journal-ling and have been trying to teach myself through reading, watching u tube videos and joining art journalist groups. I would be thrilled to take an on-line course in art journaling. Being a retired Social Worker, I am on a fixed income and the $60 – $65 most courses charge is a little steep for me. Please consider me for one of the seats in your class. Thank you for your consideration and keep up the good work! Shari Peters

  76. Kitty O says:

    WOOHOO! I WANNA WIN!!!! :) Super duper excited thank you so very much for this opportunity!!!! Counting my lucky stars till midnight :) YAY!!!!!!!!!

  78. Cindi McBroom says:
