Can’t wait to take one of my online classes?
If you can’t wait to take one of my courses, check out my fun and adventurous online Mixed Media Character Faces workshop! The results of my students have been awesome!
hello, I would love to still be entered in the draw….I am new to mixed media and would love to learn from all the teachers I have been following on youtube….
hello, I am new to mixed media, but would love to see what all the teachers I have been following on youtube will have in the life book for 2017. hope to still be in for the draw!
The opportunity to learn so many wonderful art techniques from so many artists and be encouraged while doing it is one of the many reason I love Life Book. I also would be delighted to win spot in 2017. Thanks π
Thank you for the chance to win a spot! I’m one of those who believes I don’t have a creative spark in my body, but I want to with all of my soul. I’m hoping Lifebook can help me find the way.
I’m new to mixed media and art in general. I recently have rethought my belief carried over from childhood that I’m not creative. I’m excited to learn about different processes, different mediums, different styles so I can find what I really enjoy. I’m also excited to share what I learn and communicate with others in a community; to have fun and lift others up as they help me learn and overcome bumps n the road. And to have a memorable book at the end to document my progress is the icing on the cake.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Looking forward to my third year of LB 2017, and would love to win a spot. Excited to see you on the teacher roster and excited about your lesson!
I would love to win a spot in this class. I need to keep creative and this is a goal I want to have for 2017. This would be lots of fun.
Thank you Mandy for this opportunity of winning a spot on Life Book 2017, the teacher line up looks amazing!
I love the Lifebook community. I have learned so much from all of the artist teachers. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot this year. Thanks, Ronda
I have done LB two years now and would love to win a spot. I am taking care of my elderly parents and working two jobs but money is tight. This would be so special to win a spot to continue my joy filled journey called Life Book. I love your style … it is so unique, amazing, and colorful. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot. I signed up for your newsletter, shared on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter.
Now that is your own style – can’t want to take your class. I’d love to win a spot in 2017 Lifebook
Dear Mandy
I would love to see your lesson very much.
I would be very very happy to win a spot, lifebook is part of my life since the beginning.
love and hug from Budapest
my fingers crossed
Ildy γγ
I LOVE your style!! It would be AMAZING to win a spot in Life Book 2017!!
Life is getting stressful with a lot of unknowns at this moment. I need something to look forward to next year, to keep me going.
I would love to win a spot on LB2017 and be able to learn and grow artistically from all of the awesome teachers this year. I’m really hoping and praying that this will be the year I get to participate and join in on the fun! π
Hi Mandy, I would love to win a spot in LB2017. It’s so great to learn from so many talented artists on my way to discovering my inner muse.
I would love to win a Life Book spot! It would help my creative flow and give so much inspiration! Thank you!
What an amazing list of talented artists!! I would love an opportunity to win a spot in Life Book 2017 and learn from you!!
I have been seeing this amazing class for so many years on social media but actually never taken it myself. I would love to win a spot and make 2017 all about me. Help me make 2017 All about Eeva π
I would love to win a spot and get to be surrounded by other caring and creative people. I would love the opportunity to learn and grow with guidance and support and encouragement.
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 and signed up for newsletter…I would love to learn from all these amazing artists!…thanks for the chance to win!
I love Lifebook 2016 and I’m hoping to win a spot this year for Lifebook 2017. Pick me, Pick me! π
I have been hearing a lot about Lifebook and I am so intrigued. It looks like a lot of fabulous people will be teaching with Mandy – some I know others I have yet to discover. I am a new artist – under a year – so taking classes and getting education in a relaxed environment speaks to my heart. I’m sure making a decision won’t be easy, but I do hope I may be the lucky winner – Kate
I am really looking forward to LB2017, there is so much talent being shared. So many new artists to inspire me as well as some old fav’s. I can’t choose who will be my favourite, I am loving you all.
Iβm 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 I have also signed up for your newsletter and shared it on google.
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
Also it’s my birthday Oct 2nd and Lifebook would be an amazing present ^_^
I’ve sharded this on Google + (I tried to sign up for your newsletter but I keep getting an error message – I’ll try again later)
I’d love to win a spot in Life Book 2017 as I think it would be a great way to learn new techniques to express myself and learn more about how to be kind to myself. Thanks!
I would simply LOVE to be a part of Life Book 2017 – I have been a part of it this year, and it has been an amazing journey!
Looking at the line up of teachers for next year I so want to be a part of it! It’s an incredible, fantastic, inspiring course – thank you for being a part of it. π
I would love to win the course βΊ
Wow, found out I couldn’t share on instagram from my computer. ;-\ but I finally posted to pinterest. Thank you for the chance to win a spot on LB 2017 !! Yay! Hope to see you there. Good luck to all!
I would love to win a seat in this amazing class. The class wounds fantastic with so many talented artists that are willing to share to knowledge and technique with us. I have always wanted to take the class and every year I say I am but being a disabled senior on a limited fixed income it doesn’t left funds to do so. So winning would be wonderful and I need someone to kickstart my creativity as it has been hiding somewhere this year.
I don’t have a Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account so I can’t share it there. Hope I can still be part of the drawing.
I posted it on Google+. Sorry I should have put that in my comment.
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.
Your artwork is lovely. I happily shared this and would love to be entered for a chance to win lifebook 2017
Hello, I’m an old fogie/troglodyte that doesn’t have a facebook or twitter account. I did tell some friends about you; does that count? (smile) About the only social media I do is youtube where I’ve been following you under the lansing street blues moniker. I’m also retired so income is an issue so winning a place in the course would be fantastic and perhaps be a nudge to join some more social media.
Life Book 2016 has been life changing, I would love to do it again in 2017.
Thanks for the chance to win! I love your artwork! I have wanted to participate in Lifebook for several years now. It looks so fun and I would learn so much.
I started to paint this year. And this color brings so much lightness in my hard precious metal life! But without guidance will I forget the painting in everyday life. Please help me! π
Hi Mandy,
I would LOVE to win a spot. In my opinion 2017 looks as the best year yet and your style looks very special so I would really like learning from you. There are so many new (to me) teachers in 2017, people I get to know for the first time…it’s so exiting!
Much love,
Lindsay
I mean exciting…woops!
Oh forgot to mention I’m sharing the post at my fb page “Dryada Journals” (I have more creative friends over there compared to my personal profile.)
This year is my 2nd consecutive year doing LB and I love it. I love it so much that I’m not quite sure how a year without FB would feel. but empty is one word that springs to mind. Money is tight this year as a lot of things have happened that require large payments, plus I am caring for my Mum so I can’t work. Winning a seat might just make he difference between an empty year and a year full of joy, happiness, awesome art lessons and fabulous teachers giving them. I shared on Google+ and Twitter from the buttons here, and on FB by posting the link to my timeline and am also signed up to your newletter. Thanks for all your help, Mandy. Now I can finally post this comment. I love your work (in the gallery on here) and it would be wonderful to learn a few things about your techniques and process. Lots of hugs from Spain
What an opportunity! I could so use a spot in the class! I’ve had a hard year with deaths in the family and other worries. It would be so nice to get back on the creativity track
I have shared and subscribed as requested!
twitted and fb-ed this post. nice to have it all ready for me to post without thinking about it — thanks! I’ve had enough technical problems going through the hop so far that my frustration level is almost surpassed and it is nice to find all the work is done for me except to remember my log-in passwords LOL!
why do I want to be part of Lifebook 2017 — it sounds so wonderful and exciting to be involved in doing art, learning more about mixed media from such a great line up of teachers and participating in a community of others on the same journey! I really want to be part of this in 2017 and winning the place is the only way I will be able to participate so I really want to win! π
Thank you for the opportunity to win a place on Life Book 2017. I would love to win this as I took part in Life Book 2015 and found it helped with my anxiety immensely. Unfortunately due to finances I have not been able to take part since and have missed it very much. Good luck to all who enter
I can’t wait to be transformed by this wonderful experience! Art is so freeing!
Your art is so unique! I can’t wait to push myself with so many different kins of art! I shared this on Facebook. Thank you!
Excited to explore more art with a likeminded community. Awesome:)
glad you are part of this workshop Mandy, awesome!
Shared on twitter, and I signed up for your newsletter.

Thanks for a chance to win a 2017 spot at Lifebook – it’s a transformational course and would really love the opportunity to participate again.
I would love to join Life Book 2017 to learn more mixed media techniques!
Wow! This is amazing! I would love a chance to win the spot! I’m new to watercolor and mixed media but I have been collecting supplies for months in the hope of getting started. I often find myself not knowing where to start as I stare at an empty blank page. I would be thrilled to pieces to follow this amazing art journey from so many very talented artists and find my inner creative spirit! Magical!
I’m looking forward to winning my spot on Life Book 2017. There are so many technics I need to learn.
thank you so much for the giveaway, being part of Life Book it would be a dream come true, learning from the best artist about my favorite which is mixed media and will help me with self developement and discover my own style π
This looks really interesting! I reckon learning from all these different people with their own views of life and art should be a hoot and a half. I recognize some of the artists and love their work. Congrats on being a teacher this time, and thanks for this chance.
I would like to expand my skills.
Oh I just so need more creativity in my life – being able to create time for myself and then actually seeing the skills that i have learned from watching and working with a tutorial just sounds like heaven! thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to win a spot. I’m excited to learn your watercolor techniques and your faces are amazing. I look forward to stretching my creative spirit.
I would love to win a spot in Life book this year to learn from all the fat fabulous teachers! Good Luck everyone!
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! <3
Oh my gosh, congratulations on being a teacher on Life Book!!! I just love love love it so much! All the teachers are amazing, and it’s such a warm welcoming community…I would love to win a spot! Thanks so much for the opportunity!

I would love to win a spot on Lifebook 2017. Fabulous teachers, guided lessons, helping me on my healing journey though art. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to win a spot. I have retired recently and am on a fixed income so money is an issue now. I have collected painting items over the last few years so I can learn to paint when I retired. Now I’m ready to learn as much as possible in the last part of my life, something I’ve wanted to do for years but work kept me from doing a lot of what I wanted to do. Being in the medical field makes you married to it, so I’m free now. Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot.
Would love to win a spot on Lifebook 2017. Fabulous teachers, guided lessons, what could be better? Thanks so much for this opportunity!

Hi! As a child I was pretty creative kid, I was painting, drawing, gluing, sewing. Almost everything… I thought that when I grow up, I’ll do something that has to do with art and craft.
But I was lucky to be born a sensitive child, so wrong word here, another word there from my parents, and it closed me. When I was a teenager, I wanted to sing and dance, but they were telling me that I’m not talented enough, that I won’t be able to make money of it. In some point I stopped doing everything that was about art.
It’s been a while since then. Today I’m 33 years old, mother of three children, and only now I understand that when I gave up on art, I gave up on myself… I tried to start doing something, I have paints, markers, lots of ideas but they are not coming out from my head through my hands, there’s like no connection… I feel kind of miserable and don’t know how to start doing this. I feel like I’m loosing my time and myself when my urge to create is not being expressed.
Yeah for moving from Life Book student to Life Book Teacher – awesome! I loved the 2016 (so far) which is my first year – but what a treat!
I love learning new techniques and each session is full of inspiration for me. I’d love to do the same next year π Which is why I would love to win a spot in 2017’s.
It goes with my new motto: doing art each day keeps the therapist away – hahaha
Much <3 for your teaching
Hi Mandy! Congratulations on being a LB17 instructor! I would LOVE to win a spot on LB17 because of the lineup of amazing and talented instructors, such as yourself, sharing your techniques and tips with us!

looking at all the 2017 teachers’ blogs I am fascinated how different 2017 will be from 2016! Love to be part of it.
