Hi!
I’d love to win a spot! I feel a deep desire to create but don’t know where to start!
Thank you!
I would love to win. Thank you so much for all you share here in the blog.
the statement about going on to youtube and Pinterest for hours on end completely resonates I started art journaling off and on but always find what is in my head does not match what is on the page
This is such an AWESOME thing for you to do, you amazing, wonderful, inspiring woman!
Thank you for giving me a chance.
Ive always wanted to take one of these types of classes. I just never get around to signing up. So If I won I think this would motivate me to really make the time to do it. I like you have two small children.
Sounds fun – I’d love to get to take the course!
Would love to win a spot.
Thank you for this opportunity to win a place on Roots. The course looks fantastic, however, due to being on long term sick leave its cost is, sadly, prohibitive. With being chronically ill art journaling is one of the ways I want to explore as a means of coping! And letting those feelings out. Winning a place on the course would be fantastic, literally a potential life changer. Thank you.
What a great opportunity to have a chance to win a chance for a spot in this class.
I would love to win this class because I love your work and would love to learn more journaling skills. I have this longing to journal more but feel stuck. Being here would help give me the motivation and confidence that I need :-)
I just recently discovered art journaling and it has been a salvation! I’ve been watching a lot of tutorials on you tube and spend time getting inspired with postings on pinterest. When I’m working on a page, I’m not stressing on the situation that I can’t change. I’d love to learn more through your ecourse.
I love your stuff. I decided to buy Leonie’s workbooks this year. Hoping for a great next year.
How generous! Thank you for opportunity, would love to win a spot
This sounds like such a great class. It is so generous of you to give away three spots. I hope you enjoy the holidays!
Omg. Why wouldn’t I want to be a winner?
The class sounds like a wonderful journey. Winning a spot would be a great adventure.
Oh my where do I start……. I have read things that you have said on your blog and I just know you are sitting on my shoulder listening to my inner critic. I have tried other blogs and the work is so amazing that I feel intimidated and the bar is set way to high for me so I just give up and sigh! I just want to play and get comfortable again with my creative self like when I was little and had a “rainy day box” (which I loved to play with no matter what the weather was outside because it had all sorts of craft type supplies my mom put together for me). I want to enjoy that freedom of expression again. I think it sounds like your “Roots” would be so great to help me get there. I would love to buy it but right now I have so many other things have have to get paid….. But don’t we all. I would love to win it. Hugs, Lauren
Sounds like a great opportunity. Hope to see you after the first of the year!!
I so hope I win one of the slots! I have wanted to join the group since the beginning! Crossing my fingers!!
Would be wonderful to win a spot. ;-)
I would love to win a spot in your class, so I can’t get over my fear of doing art.Thank you for the chance to win.
Yeah!!! Such a nice gift!
Sounds amazing!!
This would be a great start of my 2015. A year with hopefully more mindfulness, no more smoking and lots of creativity. Thank you for the chance!
I would like to develop my practice of art journaling and know how to put my deepest thoughts into it!
Would love to do this!
i would love to win. being creative helps me stay positive and happy but i cannot seem to do it alone. i need the support of a course like this to keep me on track. thanks and merry xmas
Thank you for the opportunity. I’m at a standstill it seems with my art journalling and this could be what I need to get going again!
Thanks so much for this opportunity to win a place in Roots. It’d be a wonderful Christmas present if I were lucky enough to win one!
I would love to get to do this. Would be so awesome.
I would love to win this! I am new to journaling and art and would love more direction in putting the two together!
I’d love some guidance in art journaling. Thank you for being so generous!
What a great opportunity! Thank you for the chance to win.
I have been wanting to take your class for some time now. I love art journaling and need encouragement to keep going. Thanks!
I am new to art journaling and would like to improve my art journaling practice. Thank you for the opportunity to win a place.
You had me at “let go of comparison”! Thanks for offering a great giveaway!
With the imminent passing of my mom, I want to do some art journaling that will help me in my journey with her and after she is gone. I think this class could help me do that.
How awesome it would be to win. Thank you for the opportunity!
I am recovering slowly from a traumatic car accident that has left me with a TBI head injury. My life changed in that moment, I’m unable to work and my recovery is a full time job.
I began journaling and writing thoughts and poems and then starting to try art journaling as self expression. I get frustrated with myself because my visual perception is off and I can’t make any two things the same size. I think this course may help me learn to more freely express myself.
Thank you
Would love to win this. I’m trying to get started in art journaling but don’t know where to start. I’m from a small town and no-one has even heard of it.
Wish mw luck!
I’d love to win a spot in art journaling :)
This will get me out of my slump. I need this!!!
Hi! I just found your website recently, and I’m very interested in starting to create journals. Thanks for the opportunity!
Hi Kristal !!!
I would LOVE SO MUCH to win !!!!
I would love to win a spot in your ROOTS class! I’ve been painting and drawing for 4 years now, but I’ve had a difficult time letting go and journaling regularly. ROOTS would be perfect to help me get in the habit of acknowledging and writing down my feelings in a creative way.
Hi Kristal !!!
I would LOVE SO MUCH to win !!!!
I have read about your ROOTS course! I feel it would benefit anyone going through a difficult time. I have lost 2 sons in the last 5 years and trying hard to go on in life. Tried doing different types of art, doing it all the time, then came to a standstill. Journaling and art are a great combination!
Hi Kristal! I’d like to take part of this course in order to help myself to treasure each time of my life.
Merry Christmas :-)
Adele from italy
Would love to win this.
I get frustrated when my pages don’t look like the professionals’ so I end up not creating. It sounds like this course would help me with that.
Sometimes we need a kick start to get back to our roots – roots of expression and creativity. Perhaps a course like this would be the answer. Thanks for the opportunity.
Me me me…pick me! Hahaha seriously, would love the opportunity to win a spot in the class. Thank you, Kristal, for the opportunity! I am crossing my fingers and my toes hoping that I am of the lucky ones!
I would love to win this course and start the new year with creative encouragement. Thank you for offering these three gifts,and I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Winning this course would be a miracle for me, and I could really use it. Some days I really beat myself up – in my art journaling and everyday life. My self confidence is very low and finding art journaling really has been good therapy, it would be awesome to actually take a real course in it and have a real chance to interact with instruction and guided lessons, not to mention others who also love art journaling.
Please enter me in your drawing. I’ve read the sites, collected art materials galore, even made my own journal, and have YET to actually put something on a page. Get me going!
I would love to relearn how to create with child-like freedom!
I am new to journaling. I took Brene Brown’s Gifts of Imperfection e-course through Oprah.com and the class was essentially working the different steps/guideposts through art journaling. I had never heard of art journal before, it scared me butspoke to me in a way I cannot explain. I immediately started Googling different things on art journaling came across your website and signed up for the art journaling 101, very insightful. I am hoping this course will be the next step in this awesome journey and would love to win a spot.
Thank you for the work you have put into the courses. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Hi Kristal!
I have always loved art. I am 50 years old and last year I started going to the university here in Aruba to study and become a teacher. My son is a young adult and I feel I still have so much more to offer. However, while studying, my parents were befallen with illness (cancer), which my mother is doing very well, but my dad still has a bit to go..I quit school in order to help them, for I feel I can always go back in the future. Art has been my escape – I am a beginner and started taking classes bit by bit, first scrap booking. When I got a taste of art journaling, I never looked back and enjoy every single bit of it and have been creating ever since. I recently got your emails ‘AJ-101 classes’ and learned a lot from them.
Merry Christmas to you and everyone posting!
Jean from Aruba
I’ve been in an artistic (and all-around) funk the last couple of months. A course like this could really help me break out of that feeling of “nothing is good enough, so why bother doing it?”
I would love to win. I’m hoping it would be another way to aid in controlling my anxiety.
Hi Kristal,
Thanks for the opportunity, very generous of you.
I want to take this course to make the inner critic shut up!! Or, at least lower her voice? :)
So glad for this opportunity!! I love art journaling courses,and I can’t wait to see who the winner is! You are a great teacher Kristal, and I have enjoyed past courses,Good luck to everyone else,as well!!
I have a niece who is bipolar. I have been trying to get her into art journaling as a way to cope. She is so close to doing it and this would give her that final push to do so. Thanks for the chance to win this for her.
Thanks Kristal, I would love to win a spot on your Roots-course. Learned so much from you. You speak to me in such a beautiful and kind way. Giving me confidence and joy. Have a wonderful X-mas.
Best wishes,
love, Anne
Simply, I need traction in my writing and my life. This has been elusive for me for some reason. Thanks Kristal for the opportunity!
This e-course would make me commit time to myself & my hobbies each day. And it couldn’t get any better starting on my Birthday!!! :)
Five years ago this January 12th my son, Vince, was shot and killed by a state trooper behind my home while my now ex-husband and I were trying to get him hospitalized yet again for his bi-polar illness. Since then, I have been doing much soul-searching and healing work both on myself and others. I wrote his story but was unable to send it out to try and get it published due to the trauma I feel whenever I read it or try working on it. I used to be a prolific writer, and I have had many articles published and have had an agent for my romantic historical novels. I am as yet unpublished in any book length format. I also used to be an artist, but I finding writing and painting to be terribly difficult for me now. It is as if my creativity died along with my son, who was a very creative individual. I know he would want me to heal and to continue on with my writing and my art. Yet I can’t seem to move forward. Perhaps your coarse might help. I’m willing to try.
I would give my spot to my friend Lynda she is a great artist, she is amazing she has what it take to be an artist please consider her
Merry Christmas!!! I would be over the moon to be able to take your Roots-course. I look at the blank pages and am stumped. I feel as if I can only “reproduce” what I learn in online courses etc . . . I also suffer from being a perfectionist, don’t like my handwriting, don’t feel I am creative enough, and it goes on and on . . . I need to channel my inner spirit, let go, be free to create what’s within.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!

I would love to win a spot in your Art Journaling ROOTS e-course! Thank you for this opportunity!
Hi there – I so want to journal have the tools but I’m afraid 60+ years ago I was taught there are those who can draw/paint/etc and those who cannot – I was a cannot – I was also taught to think and rethink all that is written down – combine that with a lifetime of dyspraxia where every word spoken has to be considered in case it comes out wrong and offends I have never developed the ‘child’ aspect – the freedom of expression for myself that I would like.
I write but i can consider everything before it goes to print and I am very blocked on the journaling – I drool over them on pinterest and try and talk myself into starting but stall when it comes to committing to paper – ‘I might make a mess of it!’
I think that roots would help me take the plunge and be brave enough to actually put myself onto paper.
I am desperately trying to pull myself out of a year long depression and learning ways to bring art back to my world. Thank you for this chance.
I have benefited so much from your coaching sessions, and I would LOVE the opportunity to learn from your ROOTS course! I appreciate your insight and ability to inspire me!
The first paragraph describing this course about made my heart seize up! It is a perfect description of my feelings. I desperately want to begin, but dont know how. I cant afford the class fee. I so hope i am chosen.
Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot. I would love to win it :)
I would love to win a spot!!!
Journaling would be just the thing I need to jump start the New Year! It is something I try to do, but would love the creative boost of someone to do it with!!! With fingers crossed,Hoping to win the course ;)
Thanks for the opportunity to win a fabulous spot in your eclass Kristal! I love learning new technique and gleaning from others! Thanks again! :)
I’m still feeling hesitant about art journaling, so guidance would be amazing! It’s something I think I’d love to do once I got past my initial feeling of not knowing where to start.
I sure would love to be a winner. I confess I have a bit of the winter blues. The days are short and often Gray. Unless Santa Claus me somewhere warm fir a bit…….Sigh sunshine
You are delivered to my inbox daily. You were part of 21 Secrets Fall 2014. Although I have participated in The Documented Life Project throughout the year, I still dont know how to put myself donw on paper/canvas. I havent found me. I haven’t found how to relax and let go so I can get me on paper.
Congratulations Jennie, you are the first winner to receive a free spot in my e-course ROOTS!!! I’ll be emailing you shortly to get you added to the classroom. Yay!
Wow . Would love to win :-)
I so want to win!! Thanks!
What a wonderful way to start off the new year! Thanks for the opportunity.
I would love to learn more about journaling and how to make it a bigger part of my life.
Really need this course, my talent is starving…
Thank you so much for the opportunity, i would love to win!
Would love to win a spot. I have a room full of art supplies that have barely been touched. I get really motivated in short bursts of inspiration but have a hard time sustaining that energy to keep creating!
I absolutely love art journaling and would be thrilled to win a spot for this course. Thanks for the opportunity!! Cheers!
Just starting my journaling journey! Would absolutely love and appreciate a spot!
I have been following you for quite some time and have enjoyed the myriad of tools and tips to help foster the innate artist in all of us.
My daughter had 5 surgeries in the past 13 months and I had a spiritual breakdown. I am now working on rebuilding myself and my life one block at a time. I am really seeing how getting back to art will help facilitate this healing in my life.
Best of luck to all entrants! And keep sharing your gifts with the world.
In light,
Jayna’
This retired girl is looking for a little creative structure in her life. This could be it!
3 gifts? wow! How generous of you! I would love to win one of those spots as I recently bought an art journal, but am not sure what to do with it! A class would be just the way to start! thanks for the chance to win.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I would love to win this! I’ve been art journaling or at least trying to for awhile now! It would be great to win!
I would love to win! Thank you for this opportunity!
I, of course, would love to win a seat in this adventure!
What a fascinating and encouraging way to start the new year this course would be! I have admired your art for a while now,but I live on a very limited budget,so I would never be able to afford such instruction on my own. Thanks so much for offering three spots free and Merry Christmas,even if I am not lucky enough to win one of them.
Fantastic!!! I need something to push me forward.
I would LOVE to take this course. I recently stumbled upon your website and have been inspired to start my own art journal. I’ve had a little trouble getting started and hope that you pick me for your class.
Like some others on here I have huge medical problems, and am on SS so money is tight. I am on many meds that take anything I have left. I do not have many supplies to do this. I have some paint supplies that are packed up somewhere waiting for a place to move from my freezing house. I have heart problems that this is only making worse. Floor eaten by termites. I didn’t know this when I moved in. Between that and a leak the floor is going in. I was hoping to move before the cold hit, but didn’t find a place yet. People don’t move much here in the winter. I do have a few things that I have collected over several months of 40% coupons, and a few things that were on the sales wall of Hobby Lobby which is not every month. I have gotten a few pieces of things from friends along with some magazines. Having a small PO box I do not get junk mail. I used to do cards but those supplies are in somewhere land also. It all has to be on the bottom and in back as I have no luck finding stuff. I did find a few stamps, not all, no paper, though I did get a sketching pad and put Mod Podge between a few pages to see how it works, got a cheap paint set at Walmart along with regular crayons. Hopefully I get a chance at the class this will do. I would like to take this class as I am to uptight to just let go on these pages, even though I know I can throw them away. I do need help, but so do many others. I will be happy if I win and happy if some others when who need a chance also wins. Good luck to all.
I am an advocate of Art Journaling and love using this with my clients. I have done quite a bit of research on the subject, but have never actually taken a class. It sounds fun! I would like to give it a try.

it would be wonderful to win the spot. I would love to go back to journaling, but feel stuck and can’t find the motivation anywhere around me. I am afraid of each blank page and don’t think there is anything in me to create a journal page.
Merry Christmas, and thank you for this great opportunity.
I’d love to win a spot. :) I have been doing some art journaling, but it’s hard. This perfectionist spirit in me wants to rule the roost. Sometimes it feels like the creativity I had as a child is longing to get out but can’t seem to find its way.
Finding my creativity awakening with my newly emptied nest. Having this to focus me would be wonderful.
It is wonderful that you are doing this, Kristal. I am retired with plenty of time to create, but I think my muse is on vacation as he hasn’t been around lately. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I would love to win! Started art journaling but never complete a page…get too unsure of myself.
Happy holidays! I”d love to win a spot in your Roots class. Thank you for having this contest.
I’d love to win. Have a great holiday with your lovely family.
Thank you for this generous opportunity. I would love to win a spot in your art journaling roots e-course. I never seem to get much past the starting phase with my art and would love some help with developing a more ongoing practice. Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
thank you for this opportunity. I would love to get back into the groove of making art. It would be nice to try something new in art journal. Happy Holidays!!
I have so much creativity and artistic ideas but those ideas get all scrambled when they come out on paper. How do I get all that creativity to come out as my mind’s eye sees it?
Kristal, as you know I’ve been watching you for years, in every video you made there were a lot of things that you said about you that I can relate to. Now, the benefit for me if I can take this course is to discover myself and find the courage to express myself through art. I would love to learn different techniques and start a new journey in life. Thanks a million for the giveaway :) God Bless You.
I would love to win a spot in your class. I have heard wonderful things about your class!
I would like to take this course because I feel very stifled and controlled when attempting anything creative. I feel stuck in the “It has to be Perfect” place, I need to get out of my box and explore something, someone, ME!
I shared about your giveaway in my google+ here https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ClemenciaRALifeFullofPassions/posts/p/pub
I would love, love, love to win a spot in Roots. It would help me to finally learn to art journal on a daily basis and help me to use my art journaling as a way to grow in so many positive ways.
Winning would be fantastic! Thank you for the opportunity to do so!
There’s some deep yearning within me but I never feel I’m good enough, know enough, researched enough, got enough tools … to begin.
As an altered art teacher at my LSS I am always looking for ideas to share with my girls. I get inspiration by “lifting” an idea but in the end it looks nothing like the original piece . . . thank you for this opportunity to win …
Hi! My name is Lisa. I think it’s super nice of you to offer free spots in your class! Of course, like everyone else here, I would absolutely love to win one of the open spots! It would be a great birthday and Christmas present! My birthday is December 23. I’ll be the big 35 this year! Woo hoo!
My husband and I have been married for 6 years. We actually met on Myspace and got married about 3 weeks after first meeting each other. :) We don’t have any
human children, but we do have five fur babies – 3 inside and 2 outside.
My husband owns his own business [well, technically it’s our business since we’re married and I do the paperwork for of the business]. But I’m sure you know how difficult it is in this economy to find work and drum up enough business to keep your head and above water.
This had been in a pretty difficult year for us. We had our home burglarized in May, and then I stopped working in June. I have some major back problems and could no longer work because of them. I’ve actually had three surgeries over the years – the first at age 21, the second at 26, and the third at 33. I pushed myself to stay working as long as I could, but I just couldn’t go past June of this year anymore. The pain just got too bad. No my back is much better, but I really do miss working. I’ve found that journaling (just regular writing with pens on paper in notebook) and tangling are two things that have really helped me since I stopped working. Even though I wish I were more artistic, I really don’t have any great artistic abilities, but I want to learn to do more than I’m able to do now. That’s the main reason I want to go through your course. Even if I’m not lucky enough to win the free admission this time, I still plan on attending one of your other classes sometime in the future because I really like your style, and I need a really simple, basic, bottom of the line lesson plan because I don’t know the first thing about drawing.
I hope everyone has a great day!
I love using my art journal to express myself. Learning new techniques and having prompts would be awesome.
I have been having a hard time doing art of any kind for the last year and a half as I dove into a deep depression. I was hospitalized 3 times in this time, once for a suicide attempt. My therapist has seen some of my art and is trying to get me to do more since this is something that makes me happy. Your course, I believe, can help me get past the hump, think more positive and generally fulfill the direction my therapist wants me to go. It’s been a long time since I was really happy, I would like to feel that again, with your help and that of your course
Thank you for this amazing opportunity…I would love to start my new year off with more art…
What a great opportunity!
What a thoughtful giveaway. Thank you for the chance to win.
Wow, thank you for the chance to win such an amazing, thoughtful gift. This is just what I need.
I’d love to try out your course. My friend did it and loved it! Thanks for telling me about this Pam!!
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your course. I have anxiety and depression, so I have a hard time keeping myself motivated, to have a “homework assignment” I think would help me. Have a wonderful Holiday season!
your course would be so inspiring….thanks for the chance!
I started art journaling several years ago but with life being so hectic and having to move 5 times in the last 3 years I had packed my stuff away not knowing when I will get back to it. Well last month I moved in with my mother who I 79 to take care of her. I find myself digging into my art things again. I haven’t gotten into a daily routine but find when its been a hard day it helps. My mother is not a nice woman and has a harsh tongue. It helps to open up my notebook and let it all out. It has been my sanity. Thank you for your videos. They have been very encouraging.

I have been through a lot in the last few years, no need to go into it here, and so Ive been self seeking and choosing what I choose to have in my life, and remove that which I chose to let go of. On my own, I find it a challenge without the support of community.
Thankyou for the chance!
I would love to win a spot in this class. I have wanted to join in for a long time now. But finances being what they are this time do not leave me any wiggle room for extra things. Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot!
Hi thanks for the chic to win. 2015 is one of PRACTICE for me and developing a weekly art practice is on my list of goals. Your course would be a fantastic start to the year.
Hi thanks for the chance to win. 2015 is one of PRACTICE for me and developing a weekly art practice is on my list of goals. Your course would be a fantastic start to the year.
Pick me!
I would looooooooove to win a spot! I’ve been having an uninspired time lately and this course would reignite some of, if not all, of my creative itch! Thankyou for the opportunity as I love to see all you do. Xxx
I would love to win a spot in your class and thank you for the offer. First of all, your teaching is life changing and I’m at an age (69) where I’m not quite sure where I belong. I dearly love scrapbooking and now into art journaling. I get such pleasure in giving to others thru this media and anything I can learn about myself and bring happiness to others is my major focus. Your personality speaks volumes to me and your spirit shines thru your work. That’s what it’s all about. Thank you again.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this great offer:)
Just the motivation I need!
I need this.
would be awesome to win…. :-)
I am always eager to connect with other artists and learn new techniques and gain inspiration from their work. I love the community of artists and how we all have our own unique spin on things. Journaling is something closed to my heart but I haven’t blocked off time for it lately. This would kick he into high gear.
I could really use this course to develop my art journaling skills.I do assemblage and collage work but would love to be able to teach the women in my women’s trauma group. I have been looking for an affordable core and I would love to take yours on their behalf.
Thank you,
Davida Adedjouma
Sounds like a wonderful course! I’ve wanted to take a art journaling course for awhile now, but have held back because of I’ve felt that I am lacking artistic talent.
Thank you for hosting this prize giveaway. I really need art in my life–it’s been a rough year. I just read a few Lynda Barry books, and I think art journaling will help so much.
I would love to win. I am looking for a way to rediscover who I am, or perhaps discover who I am meant to be. I have had a very difficult 2014, in job and in the crumbling of my personal life and hope to rebuild my inner self in 2015. Something like this class would be a great help to begin my journey to myself.
I’m slowly coming out of a deep depression and I think that I could finally use more than just the color black. Thank you for offering this chance to take your class. It would be great to find my yellow again.
Kristal, Thank you for the opportunity of possibly winning the chance to be in your e-class. I so related to your ‘My Story’ YT vid. I too watch and watch other wonderful artists but it doesn’t put head to hand nor does buying the few supplies I can’t afford right now…so it then makes me feel so inferior that I just don’t start. It wasn’t always like that, but life deals things and you can lose confident before you know it happen. I do love the idea that you are working on a payment plan. I don’t think anyone has that. I also like that you understand in todays economy many enjoyable things are the first to go. Thank you again, I could go on for awhile. Have a Super Holiday. Love and Hugs.
Oh, the Happy Dance I would do if I were to win. I would be so excited. I am retired and on a very fixed income so winning would be wonderful. I could learn things that would be of tremendous help to this new art person here.
Hugs
Jan
Merry Christmas, and thank you for offering such an awesome gift!
I would love an opportunity to participate in this Art Journaling program.
I am so excited you are offering this opportunity
As a gift!!
This is great. I’d love taking this class. I have trouble getting things from my brain to my journal. Thanks for the chance to win a spot.
Hi Kristal
I would love to be part of your ROOTS e-course but due to my finacial situation, I am on sick leave after a cancer operation, I can’t be a part of this time. I did your journalling 101 course and loved it.
It would be a wonderful xmas present to win a place in your class, at the moment, it would be a wonderful way to start 2015.
I think it’s amazing you are offering this gift! I am currently loving your art journaling 101 class and I am keen to find out more. thank you for this opportunity.
I would love to join your class so I can learn to ‘let go’ and create outside the lines… or I should say, “outside my lines”!
I would love to join in the fun and create!
This is AWESOME! I would so love a chance to be considered a candidate to win a spot in your Art Journaling Roots e-course. I’ve been salivating to join one of your classes since June of this year, after I finally decided that it was time for me to start actually fulfilling my bucket list, instead of just sitting around the house, wishing I could do the things I’ve always wanted to do and never did. I always wished I had the patience and the courage to “write a diary” in my earlier years and have regretted it ever since. Then I came across your website one day in June after I finally convinced myself that I should explore some type of artistic venue and was so inspired I couldn’t help but subscribe. Finances wouldn’t allow me to join in though and that is why I haven’t been active on your site…but now here is the opportunity, and if you would consider me…I would be so appreciative. I want to learn how to express myself through the creative process of Art Journaling. I’ve been stumped on how to begin though.
Awesome! Need to do something for me , only to take time and help to grow a little!as simple as it is.
Thank you to give it to 3 lucky winners!
Thank you for the chance to win this course! I have both real sopplies and digisupplies, but have yet to be brave enough to finish an art journaling page.
I’d love to win a chance to participate in this course.
What a nice Christmas treat.
I would so benefit from this class. I am so inconsistent with my journal and would like something to give me that extra push!
I really enjoy your style and your newsletter. I would love a spot on Roots! Fingers crossed!

Would love the opportunity, just learning about art journaling.
Thanks for all you do. Sure do appreciate your common sense and enthusiasm.
I haven’t ever taken an online course. This would be a new experience! And it’s art journaling – something I want to do consistently. It would be a big help to me to get me inspired and going with lessons indeed to work through.
I would love to be a part of this online course. I really enjoyed the last one I took and hope I get an opportunity to participate in this one too.
I’d really love to be part of your online course! I’m ready to get over my bad paper tearing perfectionism habits and move on to a more regular creative/free expression self-healing art form.
I need to be creative but my perfectionism drags me down! I know Roots would give me wings!
I would love to win a class. Thank you so much for this opportunity. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
I joined in on a recent play date and had a blast! It was such a great experience and I would love to take the roots classes. I have a “I’m my own worst enemy” block I need to pass and I think that this course will help!
What a great give-a-way! Would love to take this e-course! Hope I win!!
Sounds like a great course!
Merry Christmas. hope you have a wonderful year ahead. thank you so much for the opportunity to win a spot. much love and light and laughter. roots deep down laying the foundation to something upwardly moving and spreading wings and bearring fruits providing respite.
Oh I’d love to be a part of your e-course! I’ve recently gotten into Art Journaling and I love doing it! Painting and art has always been a passion of mine. :) Merry Christmas!
Wow, your offer would be a wonderful opportunity, I have just broken my ankle on an earthquake damaged footpath :( This would be an amazing way to concentrate on art and take my mind off my injury, and lack of mobility. It’s also summer here in New Zealand, so plenty of daylight hours. Thankyou,so much for the opportunity.
I would love to win this. I have tons of supplies and have yet to establish any kind of routine of getting things down in my art journal. This course sounds exactly what I need. Thank you for the opportunity.
I vow to be make more time for art and creativity in 2015! Thank you for your inspiration!
I would like to win the free journaling course because I need to kick start my creative juices again. I am also thinking it would be nice to offer a free journaling session at the local senior center.
I’d love to be a part of your latest class!
Thank you for wonderful and generous giveaway!
Happy Holidays wishes to you!
What a wonderful gift Kristal! I am hoping to register for your course – it sounds amazing! Have a safe and happy holiday!
This can be the best christmas present !!!!!!!!!!!!
How generous! Thanks for the opportunity!
Drawing and painting used to be a nearly daily part of my life until I got married and had children – now it is a rare event. I would love to win a place in this course, as it would give me an excuse to reclaim my creativity. Having said that, if I were to win I would like to gift my place to a commenter, above – SANDY, who posted December 18th at 7:23pm.
I have spent 99 days in the hospital as a result of two broken legs. I documented this 99 day journey with pictures. I would love a spot in this class to make a journal of my experience. Merry Christmas!
Hi!
I am new to journaling .Everytime I sit with the journal I am blank I Don’t know what to do.Half the time I waste watching journal page images on the net and techniques of doing journal pages.In my country available art supplies are limited.I am very tensed while doing it rather than doing in relaxed manner.
I would love to win the giveaway class and learn and interact with a experienced artist.
I have always wanted to do a journal but was never sure how to or had the confidence to do one. I found it hard to put what I was thinking on paper . this course woud help me build up confidence and the starting point to get me started as it would help with my depression . Thanks for giving us a chance to win this great course
I’ve been observing art journalers for a LONG time. It’s time to stop & do some creative stuff of my own! I would love to have a spot in your class!!
Having recently done a short Creative Mindfulness course, I have been introduced into the exciting world of Journaling, something I have had little to do with despite the fact that I dabble in artwork such as Pen and Wash and Watercolour. Doing a course like yours might help me to be more confident and free with my work, and I would love my imagination to come alive and re-awaken my passion and creativity. Say goodbye to procrastination and uncertainty .
Wow! Thank you for the chance to win a place in “Roots” it would be really great to do that course and better my self with your help. Thank you so much.
Would love to win this course b/c i love art journaling and would love to tap into your techniques for how to be more creative.
I am new to art journaling and have had a great time investing in product and reading technique books. However, my inner critic, and fear that my work may not meet my expectations, has kept me from starting a journal page. I think I am now feeling a little overwhelmed. I would love to take your class to help me get started and learn with others and overcome these personal obstacles. Thank you for your consideration.
I’ve been sick for three years now. I found my way back to being creative through art journaling, but I still have trouble doing it. I tend to get stuck on the internet, looking at videos and beautiful art journal pages. And I am still critical towards my art. How to get past that?
I think your class would really help me! :)
Would love a free spot in your class. Thanks for the chance.
I’m a lot like Emelie, although this last year My health has been improving. The down time time has given me the chance to reconnect with my forgotten creative side. I’ve been doing a lot of Zentangling and creative writing, and have recently started doing a lot of sketching, but I have a huge inner critic with a very loud voice. I’ve made a lot of progress in shutting her up, and am really quite pleased with my growth. I think your class would be a wonderful opportunity to keep moving forward and have a bunch of fun!
Thank you so much for the chance to win! Happy Holidays!
I would love to win this.
I would so love to win this
Thank you so much Kristal for this opportunity and Happy Holiday to you…You have given me wings with your course and now I hope to put down some roots!~
Hi Krystal, to win a spot in this course would be a huge blessing. Just in this month alone I’ve had two deaths in the family that have rocked me to my core, one was my uncle and the other was my grandmother whom I was very close to as she was more like a mother to me. Not only would having this course keep me busy and help me not curl up in bed all day but I also feel it would help me get in touch with my art in a way that would provide healing for the many traumas I’ve had in my life. This year has been such a hard year for me and I would count it a blessing if I could start next year with something that would help me remember to look at the positive things in my life and be able to put those things on paper so I could look back at them when needed. Thank you for your consideration and Merry Christmas.
This course will be a great oportunity to learn how to discover and create my own style in art journaling.
I’ve been in this journey for a while; sometimes I feel overwhelmed with so many information online; some other times I feel I’m stucked in front of tons of supplies and without an idea to start with.
Thanks a lot for the oportunity Kristal.
I enjoy getting your emails and admire your work! Sure hope I win a free “Roots” course:-)
I enjoy your website and art work! Hope I’m the winner of your “Roots” course:-)
I started buying supplies to begin art journaling more than a year ago and have been afraid to start because I’m not “artistic”. Roots would be the perfect way for me to jump off.!
Roots are what we need to grow. life begins where nutrition and all that provides sustenance come from, where it all starts. Roots are essential and I need this root course to grow my creative journaling life. I want to grow and thrive as an artist. I want
Your roots course would be fantastic!!! I would love the challenge of a 7 week commitment as my art journalling often gets put aside for other less inspiring things!!! Thanks for offering it, you are amazing!!!!
Just stumbled across one of your YouTube videos today and then searched for your blog with your name. Love the message you’re putting out there. I’m fortunate enough to have time for art daily, but like the idea of putting more of myself into my art.
I’ve been stuck in a corner for a long time, with no regret why it hasn’t been about me for this length of time. Now is my time to find a reason to open my eyes to a new world of my self. The paper & pens are ready, along with many empty book that need a story in them. My hair is to short for a pony tail now but my eyes are open for the journey ahead. I look in the mirror and say to myself, “This is your time, make it fun!”. I’m so use to being the teacher, I’d love to be the student now.
As I contemplate my empty pages and mountains of supples I know the key to success is inside of me. Please help me unlock my potential and free the creative energy that is sceaming to be set free! Your “Roots” course sounds like the perfect cure for what ails me. I would welcome the opportunity in a big way!! Thank you for making this Givaway possible!
I so look forward to discovering more “ME” with your assistance!!
I would really enjoy this class
This class would be very helpful right now.
