LIFE BOOK 2018 TEACHER LINEUP + GIVE AWAY
I had the pleasure of contributing an online course to Life Book a couple of years ago, and I’m so happy to be back for another year!
If you haven’t already heard about Life Book, it’s a year-long, online, art class featuring 23 incredible art teachers who share their mixed media techniques with you throughout the year. This year, Life Book will also feature 12 wellness guides offering additional practices like yoga, aromatherapy, and dance.
Throughout the year, students will create several loose mixed media art journal pages per month. At the end of the course, you’ll learn how to bind them together to create one beautiful journal – your very own Life Book.
If you’re looking to broaden your mixed-media skills, learn from an amazing group of teachers, be a part of a global creative community, and have a really meaningful keepsake at the end, check out Life Book 2018.
I’ll be teaching a brand new course called, “Weaving Stories” inspired by my recent explorations into adding photos, letters, and family ephemera into my large-scale acrylic paintings. I’m excited to share some of my mixed-media breakthroughs with you!
Registration + Giveaway
Registration for Life Book 2018 opens on September 12th 2017, and the class begins on January 1st 2018.

I’ve shared and entered. SO excited to see you’ll be part of Life Book 2018!!
I have entered and would love to win the spot! I am doing Lifebook for the first time this year and it has been an amazing way to rediscover my creativity, which had been blocked. I love your work and teaching style, and am excited that you’ll be teaching a lesson again! Hope to join next year!
Hey Flora! Please enter me into your give away. I always love taking classes from you and your friends.
Good morning, Flora.
Would love to win a spot! Thank you for the opportunity!!
I love Flora’s work and I have a couple of her books. I can also really use a creative infusion. My Mom passed at Thanksgiving and dealing with grief and the house has made it hard for me to be creative and have fun. I know who ever wins this will benefit tremendously. Good luck to everyone!!
I am entering this giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
Please enter me for the giveaway!
I’m excited to learn more from you and other artists participating.
I tweeted this! Yes I would love to be entered into the giveaway. I am in the 2017 class and one way or the other will be in 2018. Totally worth it!
Would love the opportunity to learn something new – Thank you for the chance.
Tweeted! So excited about the next round of Life Book – the teacher line up looks fantastic! And thank you so much for your generosity (per your newsletter) – we’ve been hit so very hard down here in the Houston area, and every bit helps!!

Yes shared on Facebook. Curious to work with your new developed techniques.
I’m already on your newsletter list and shared your Facebook post 🙂 Is your LB18 lesson a take on your latest yet-to-be-released painting session? (which i’m super excited to watch because my attempt at glueing stuff down on canvas was less than satisfactory beyond canvas activation) Thanks!

Hi Flora, I’ve entered! Thank you. Crossing my fingers and toes for a win ?
I want to join life book to teach my daughter that her mom cares about her creative endeavors, to inspire her to be creative and to find joy again after some very hard financial and job harships within the past year. Some very traumatizing losses, depression, stress have hit my family. I want to prove to them that love prevails and art will bring joy and hope back into my life. I feel this class will motivate me to a better mom,wife and person because im persuing something that brings me so much joy and that is exercising my creativity into real life action.
I entered! Thanks for the excitement. It is overwhelmingly amazing. The list of insporing artists is too good to be true! Love to everyone!
Love your work Flora! You really have inspired me.
Can’t wait to see your new explorations. I am sure they will be great too!
Hope I can win a spot on LB…
Lot of love,
Denise
I love Lifebook and would love a win!

I would love to win a spot! Shared on twitter, @keystoneflora!
Hi Flora, I’ve entered! Thank you. Love your work…
Hiho, shared on FB with love xx
Good luck me ?
Shared on Facebook. Sure hope I win
I entered! Also, I’m fresh off a 3 ½ day summer-camp for grown-ups (minus the teen-angst) where I got to explore my inner artist and give up the judgment I’ve carried with me for over 20 years that “I’m not an artist” just because a teacher once decided to grade me a D. Before that, I loved sketching and painting and creating. That one teacher’s decision shut down my inner creative for two decades, and now I’ve given myself permission to begin again. To experiment. To create. To paint anew. My grandmother passed away in May, and it was a loss that cut deep. She was a phenomenal painter. I would love to have the chance to honor her memory and create something beautiful after all these years.
Shared! Looking forward to the 2018 life book ! Joining no matter what ☺️

I’ve just come down from a before 8am slot in my art journal. Why before 8? It was the only time I could mange to get it done. I’d love a spot in Lifebook 2018 and have shared this post on twitter.
I would love to join Lifebook 2018 because it is a course that nurtures my soul, encourages healing, teaches me new techniques, and brightens every Monday! I am especially excited about the new additions to the program like yoga and aromatherapy. I always love your offerings and I am especially excited about your new offering! This will be my 5th year! Thanks for being the awesome person and artist that you are! You inspire me regularly!
I’m very exited!!! That sounds all fabulous!!! I want to be part of the LifeBook2018! The last years were very hard for me, I had my 3rd depressive episode and my father passed away this March after a long alcoholic disaster. Now it’s my turn and I want to do more for myself, be myself for the first time in my life. I think, LifeBook2018 would help me there to find my creative self!!!

Firstly I would like to say that your work looks amazing. I’m so glad you have joined LB2018. Secondly, this would be such a great opportunity to win a space. I’ve been dealing with 9 years of struggling both health and financial wise. My family has endured a very long path of pain and I believe some healing is in dire need. I know there are a lot of people struggling financially and physically, so I am just another soul searching for some kind of relief. Hoping and praying that there is someone out there whom will be willing to give me an opportunity to better myself and my life. Sending lots of love to everyone. May you have a blessed day. Hugs and kisses from South Africa xxx
Woo hoo to the giveaway. However sending metta prayers to all the people suffering due to storm Harvey. Have seen many distressing pictures in the UK national papers. Those poor ladies in the care home sitting in cold dirty water up to their waists. Hope everyone is safe and well. Sending love. Xxxx
I’m in it to win it!! ?A heartfelt TY for this awesomeness
I would love to win a space on life book 2018 ❤️
Hoe amazing would iT be to join in and create learn try and use all the inspiration from these Lovely and warm creative teachers ????
I am in!
Would love to do LifeBook again, I’m in!
I would love to win a space on Life Book for the inspiration and chance for some extra self care. I’ve entered.
I want to join Lifebook 2018 because I love choosing from all the art that interests me and passing on those that don’t. No pressure
I need a ‘life break’! I really cannot afford to buy art lessons at my age (im always saving up for my yearly property taxes =) ) and would love to do even a portion of lifebook 20 any year! I am fascinated by the artwork of others, how they view the world and their part in it. Try as i might i cannot find where i fit. I wonder from here to there, always loving my art, crochet, tatting, bobbin lace making, drawing, painting, journaling, but never finding me. I see a glimpse now and then. I always come back to painting. Being self taught and winging it most of my life, i would love to watch real artistry at work. Thank you for this opportunity to invest in self
I’ve entered! Love your work!
Just entered. Thank you so much.
Entered. Your work looks very interesting. I will be exploring further.

So excited about the competition! I love your art (I have your phone cover from Society6 accompanying me every day) — it brings happiness and light to my day. I’ve never considered a Life Book, but I love the sound of it. And go you for your contribution to the relief fund for Harvey. I used to work for Red Cross so I’ve seen first hand how much every dollar can help. xxx

I’ve shared this amazing looking course. Love both you Flora and Tamara and all the women you introduce and link me and many other women and creatives with around the world ❤️??? ❤️ As the axis turns for me in my world, am finding more and more creative time so you know what they say about a busy woman/person… the busier they are the more they accomplish.

I’d love to be a part of LB 2018 because it’s changed my life in so many ways. I don’t think I could live without Life Book, some days it’s what makes me get out of bed in the morning. I struggle with chronic pain so art means a lot to me. I’ve grown a lot as an artist and also as a human thanks to Life Boo, life would feel really empty without it.. And the community is just amazing to be a part of too, so much love and compassion! <3 I'd really love to keep on learning and evolving. ?
I love Lifebook. I have learned so much but have much more to learn. Thanks for a chance to win this year. I am new to your website and I love your art work.

I am already a part of LB 2017 and I’d love to stay for another year! It’s inspirational, full of learning the new facets of yourself, boldness and experiments! I truly love it and enjoy it!
I have to say that 2017 is a big year for me. I am 34 year old but it feels like only this year I am learning to be myself, to live my life, to feel happiness without any special reason, no matter what happens, and to be thankful for every experience I meet daily. Life book took a big part in this growth of mine!
Shared the post on my Pinterest. Thank you Flore for all the goodies:)
