I have been a past teacher for Tamara Laporte’s yearly “Life Book” online class, and I greatly admire Tam! And now, she has just published her first book!
Create Your Life Book:

and Encouraging Personal Growth
Her book offers mixed-media drawing and painting projects that can raise your awareness of and help you work through personal challenges and other obstacles to creating art and achieving self-fulfillment. CONGRATULATIONS, TAM!

This would be such a synchronistic gift for me right now if I was the lucky winner! Very curious!!
I love Tams work, and I love yours too Carla. Thanks for the chance to win and Merry Christmas from New Zealand!
This looks interesting, and I thought art was just for fun!
Such a wonderful book filled with inspiration from many artists I admire. I am still struggling to find my niche in the world of art. I think this would be a great resource!

Flying high on the victory of Doug Jones in Alabama tonight. Let’s hear it for the brave women who spoke up about their abuse at his hands. Let’s all draw fabulous women! Love your collage people
I love this idea, Tam! I’m doing this with writing and art with another teacher. Marie
Hi, Carla! The book would be the perfect add on (I‘m in LB2017 and LB2018!) for when I‘m offline! Thank you for this chance and Happy Christmas Time! Susana.

Hi Carla, I wish you were teaching on lifebook this year as I have signed up. I would love to win a copy of the book.
Since I met Tam I’ve learned a lot from her and all the wonderful teachers like you. And because Im not an english speaker, it’s more easy to me learn from a book. I imagine that this book would help me express myself better. I would love to have a copy, with all my heart. Thanks Carla!
Hi Carla. I was very happy to read about Tams book – I followed you into Lifebook when you taught in 2014 and kept taking Life Book since. So many amazing lessons and the opportunity to get to know many artists and teachers, their techniques and teaching style, for an amazing low price.
Would love to win the book – as it’s a kind of Life Book to carry around. Thanks! xoxo

A life book for 2018? What an awesome idea! Thank you for this opportunity to win this book.

Hi Carla, I have my book and love it. My hope is to win a book for my bff in Oregon. She moved 2 years ago and we have traveling journals we send back and forth to each other about every 6 weeks. I know she’ll love Tams book as much as I do.
Looks delightful! Pick me Pick me! 🙂

Trying to find my creative mojo again. So crossing fingers. Told my husband I wanted your 365 Daily Creative Practice as a gift this year. Hoping he listens.
Thanks for sharing her book, I would love to be considered
Pick me! Pick me!!
I discovered you when I participated Tam’s Life Book several years ago. I loved what you did and still do. I made a “tower” of animals standing on each other’s shoulders and still do the left handed drawings and my “drawn blind” zebra and elephant are still with me. Most of the class was not what I wanted to be doing, but blobimals are my go to thing to do when I want to create something mindless and surprising. I would love to have Tam’s book. Her enthusiasm is electric.
Cool, thanks for the giveaway. This looks like a fun book!
Thanks so much for this amazing opportunity! This book looks so beautiful!

Oh goodie! The prospect of a prize, and a list of blog to browse!!
I never win prizes, but at least I’ll have fun looking at all these blogs! Thank you!!!
I was a part of the 2015 LifeBook and it was a thrilling experience. I never was able to fully commit to all of it, but what it did teach me is that I have a passion for color and texture and paint and collage. I loved the fascinating details that everyone shared. The teachers are marvelous and the community was the very best part. I would like to get more into this in 2018, and Tam’s book would be an amazing place to start. I also really enjoy rediscovering the teachers from the past class through this, and I will be looking more into classes and workshops that I can do through out the year. Thank you for the chance to win. Enjoy the day. Erin
ok… i join the club : it would be nice if i could win such an inspiring book.!
