Giveaway! Book of Days 2022

Hello everyone, I’m super excited to announce I will be teaching on Book of Days again in 2022! Absolutely LOVE this year-long course for its focus on deep and meaningful art journaling, and on our own expression as a way of finding out more about ourselves. That’s exactly what I seek to do in my art practice, and it’s what’s most important to me when I teach art, so it’s a perfect match!

You can read all about the course and whether it’s right for you over on the course page here.

I am currently housebound due to long Covid. I am 57 and only recently taken up art journaling to help me cope with my situation. I would very much love to join this year long course and dive deeper into my art practise.

I have been following you and your art for a while and love your let it flow approach. With that said, I would love the opportunity to take one of your classes.

I would love a chance to win a free spot in the Book of Days. Thank you so much for the opportunity ❤

I love Book of Days but this year not in the budget so a chance to win is awesome as I would love to do it. Thank you

Thank you for the opportunity to enter the GiveAway.
I would be so honoured to be picked for this price. I have been following both you and Effy Wild for a year now and just love the work you present.

I go to all of Effy’s Journal Jams and have since the beginning. I think it would be an awesome gift if I was to win. Please, Please, Please, let it be me!

I greatly appreciate the fact that you don’t require us to tag anyone or sign up for anything, that is a very sensitive and thoughtful gesture. I would also love the opportunity to win a spot. Thank you.

Winning a free spot for BODs would be so wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to enter.

I love the Journal Jams from Effy, and it would be just so great to be part of Book Of Days 2022, my first one would that be.

I’d love to be a part of Book of Days this year. It’s on my Wish List. Thank you for doing the giveaway!

Just getting into art journaling this past year and finding the journaling part difficult. Winning and participation would help with that.

Iris, thank you for the chance to win a spot for Book of Days 2022! Effy is an amazing teacher who surrounds herself with quality people like you. I adore her approach to art journaling and would be honored to participate.

I love book of days! I enjoy your colaboration with Effy Wild and the raw journaling you both do! Love to wil a spot

Hooray! I love your work, Iris – it totally speaks to me. And this sounds like a wonderful time art journaling (which I love to do).

I would love the opportunity to participate in this course. I also loved your reading of the story of the mole – now I need to find the translation! 😄💕

Oh, it’s so too bad that each and every one of us couldn’t “win” a spot . Wouldn’t that be sweet? But, alas and alack. Anyway, yes please for me too, and thanks for the chance! No other way will I be able to afford the participation. Blessings to all, in your art and lives.

Thanks for the chance to win a spot! I love everything Effy, and am looking forward to another fabulous year with BOD!

I am an art journal who loves sharing this wonderful practice with women going through chemo, young moms who are housebound, refugees. To have a joy one must share it but I need more input so the well stays full and can flow out to others.

I never win anything but why not try one more time, journaling is just my thing and i want to go further in in,get out of my comfort zone….

Thanks, Iris! <3 Daughter dear started her first year of Art School in Tilburg and will transfer to Fine Art next year in Breda. So my homeschooling days are over. And yes, it is a transition! So I would love a leg up into my own art practice. 🙂

I have always loved the idea of art journaling, but need the encouragement to do it. I would love to win a free course. Thank you for the opportunity.

This is an amazing opportunity. I’ve never done a year long course and this would be the perfect one to start with.

Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot. It looks like it would be a lot of fun. Good Luck to all.

I love Book of Days but sadly it’s not in the budget, so I would love to win. Thank you for the opportunity!

Thank you so much for this opportunity!!
I have been subscribed to your newsletter and following you for a bit now.

This is so wonderful Iris, thank you so very much. For your generosity and your compassion with this giveaway. I would absolutely love to be part of the Book of Days. I have wanted to start Art Journaling for a while and honestly don’t even know where to start. I am 69 years old and just starting out – I could tug at heart strings, but I’m not going to do that. It would just be so completely awesome to be able to do this and I can’t afford it this year.

Thank you sir incredibly much for the chance to win! I would LOVE to do the book of days- its sound Amazing and have wanted to do it for a few years now!!!

Thank you Iris for giving us this chance to win a place on BOD. I’ve never had the chance to join BOD previously, so I’m keeping my fingers tightly crossed and wishing everyone good luck! <3

Thank you for giving me a chance to win a spot in book of days! Love your youtube channel!xx

What an amazing opportunity! I just discovered art journaling and I’m obsessed! My life will never be the same. Thank you for sharing your talent😀

I am new to art journaling and would love a chance to win this class to learn more about journaling and myself, thank you!

I love art journaling. I started my art journey when I retired for the 2nd time and practice art everyday. That was 2 years ago, I am 70. I have a newborn passion and can’t imagine what I’d be doing if I didn’t have it. It is my solace. Thank you.

Thank you Iris I would love to win this prize. I follow you and Effy and love your works ❤️

Oh wow such a wonderful thing to do, would love to win a spot but good luck to all who have entered 🥰

Thank you for the opportunity. I would love to win a spot and focus on the love of creating a journal page.

Yaaay!!! This is super exciting! I bookmarked! Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway! 🙂

Hello Iris! I’ve just discovered your art and would so appreciate the opportunity to win a spot for Book of Days 2022! Thank you for offering this chance to participate.

Thank you for this giveaway with the book of days! It sounds so fun as I just retired and would love the chance to win.

I love everything about BOD and would definitely love an opportunity to win a spot for next year! Thank you!

I have always wanted to try Book of Days. This drawing is the day after my 72nd Birthday, oooo would this be a great present. But…..I wish everyone who has entered much luck and love.

I love art. This has been a rough year for me. My mother, father-in-law, and my dog died this year. I am struggling with depression.

This course would be such a blessing to me. I am caring for my father now, who is under hospice care in his home. I don’t have an opportunity to venture out much and really look forward to anything that would help my anxiety and depression. This would go a long way to help me! Be especially blessed for the opportunity to win a spot. The cost is simply not in my budget at this time.

Love the art work style for The Book of Days. Would like to learn more about doing it <3

I would love to WIN having taken lessons both with yourself and Effy in Life Book! Thanks so much for the chance!!

I loooove your art and I have been a big book of days fan for some years now. So I would absolutely love to win a spot!

Thank you for the opportunity to win and for allowing us to enter without having to tag people. Unfortunately none of my friends are into making art so I don’t enter giveaways that require tagging cause I don’t want to spam them. I do follow you though, and I love your art and personality!! Keep it up <3

I would love to win as I have never done Book of Days before. I would love to experience art at that level. I see the teachers and they are all amazing. Yaaaay!

I would love a chance to win this. I’m just getting back into art and need to learn as much as possible right now. Thanks so much for this chance.

I would love the opportunity to win. I learned so much from the youtube videos already and wished that I could afford BOD. I’m disabled and doing art keeps me sane since I can no longer work. It has been meditative too.. On bad days, my brain swells up and paralyzes me mentally and physically. I would be able to take my time on good days and catch up if needed.
Having had 2 brain surgeries and TBI, this whole program is helping me cognitively and physically. I’m able to get eye exercises in as my sight sometimes gets blurred. I would be able to take my time. I get hand exercise since my fingers tighten up due to poor CSF. This whole program would help me with PTSD as well.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this great event! Art is my therapy for Life!!!💕

A chance to win on Book of Days
So many yippees and yays

(Sitting inside like an old fart)

The Book of Days is one of my favorite year long art journalling classes! I would LOVE to win a spot. 🙂

Yay and a big thank you Iris for this opportunity to win a spot in BOD!
I’ve always wondered about doing Bod and now I may have that chance.

Book of Days sounds like a wonderful course, I’d love a chance to win a spot. Thank you Iris!

I like your yt vids, I like your attitude and positive thinking in everything what you do…I am engineer in 3rd world countries, no spare money for anything else but food, heating and roof above my head, and I know how chances to win such a wonderful gift are small, minimal, micro minimal :)), but, let me try…hope dies last 😀

Hello Iris,
I love your work. And I lover BOD. And to winn a spot would be great. Thank you for this oppertunity.

I would love to win a spot on BOD. I’m really interested in the concept of art journalling and the self introspection that I expect comes from it. Love the idea of learning to play and give my very dominant brain a break! 😊 Thanks for the opportunity 🤗

I would love a chance to win a free spot in the Book of Days. Thank you so much Iris, for the opportunity

Effie and Iris– I love your style and look forward to your messages and posts in my inbox. I try to never miss an opportunity to work with you.
Thank you for the chance for a free spot in the Book of Days. Blessings to you both!

woo hoo! Thank you Iris for a chance to win a place in BOD 2022. I participated in BOD 2015 when I was just starting ARTing 🙂 So much fun!

Love all the creative support that surrounds us all. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

Iris, thank you so much for offering this chance to win a spot in BOD22. And, natch, I would definitely like to win a spot! 🙂

Thank you! Thank you! Having a chance to win. Brightens my day!
A chance is a good thing!
I love Art Journaling. It’s my creation every day. Book of Days sounds wonderful. New ideas. Maybe requiring new supplies- always fun!

This sounds like an awesome opportunity. I would love to go deeper into art journalling as means of expression.

Looking for more ways to further my journalling and to begin a pictorial journey for 2022!

Hello Iris! Book of Days 2022 would be an amazing experience! I’d love to learn from all the artists and develop my art journaling skills! Thank you for this opportunity!

I try my luck on this giveaway, because I could need some good creative input to come back in a creative flow again. Thanks for the chance!

Thank you for this opportunity. It would be amazing to be able to take part in Book of Days 2022 ❤️❤️❤️

I was introduced to you Iris during the Taster sessions for the year 2020. I am inspired by your art and attitude. It would be wonderful to win a spot and experience all the wonderful artists around the globe.

Thank you for this opportunity. I’d love to take part in BOD. It Looks like a Lot of fun and good stuff…

I’d love to be a part of Book of Days. I’ve seen some of your stuff online and I’m enamored.

I have been art journaling for years. This work and your group look so freeing! Thank you for the chance.

Hi Iris! I love art journaling and would love to take a course on it! It sounds AWESOME!

Hi Iris! I have been a fan and follower for… probably at least a couple years! Love you! Thanks for the chance to win a spot! I have not done this one and it looks like a great one!

Hi, thank you for the giveaway, I would be really happy to win a spot on the class Book of Days

I would love to do Book of Days. Being retired and on a fixed income, that is a dream I cannot afford. Thank you for the opportunity to win a place at the creative table.

Thanks for bringing book of days to my attention! I “met” you through Life book 2020 and that experience has lead to many more art-y discoveries.

I’ve been eyeballing Book of Days for at least 5 years now, but it’s not been in my budget. I’m creating a specific “BOD Fund” in my budget for next year, so I’m ready when it rolls around again in a year, but it would be great to be able to participate in 2022. Thanks for the possibility 🙂

I’d love to be a part of Book of Days! I had just done the Lifebook Taster Sessions, w many of the same artists whom I adore!! I look forward to doing my first Art Journal!

How wonderful, especially in the times we’re all living through! Everyone deals with the stresses we are currently facing in a different way. I feel art helps (everyone) process emotions, current event happenings, and the strain of our daily situations. Thank you for a great chance at your Book of Days offering!

Thanks for the opportunity to win! Would love to take this course. Such amazing talent! I work in the mental health field and this last year has been extremely busy. Would live this for self care! Thank you all again for all you do to encourage each of us! Big hugs!

You are funny and enjoyable, it makes art journal fun and relaxing at the same time. Winning a spot would be great to explore others and myself. Thank you 😘

I would love to win this opportunity. I have lots of supplies and would love more inspiration.

Oh this is great! Love your artwork and love Effy. This is a great opportunity. Thank you for giving us this opportunity!

I like the idea of taking flight with art journaling and creative practice. I should open my wings and soar!

Would love a chance to win a spot in Book of Days, thank you Iris for the opportunity !!! 🥰😍

Hi Iris, thank you so much for giving us all a chance in the giveaway. Your work has inspired me for a long time and I would love a chance at taking part in The Book of Days. Xxx

Hi. Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot as finances are tight and i so love your style and the chance to learn. The art community has been a live saver for me as it is my main means of self care as I take care of my ailing mother.

OH I would adore the opportunity to grow my art practice with Book of Days! Effy is wonderful and she has lined up amazing artists to teach in BOD this year. This will definitely be something that I do for myself!

Hey 👋 Iris thank you for the opportunity to win a place on BOD. Happy creating everyone!!! 😊

I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to take book of days. Never done it and been wanting to for a while but not in budget this year. Thank you for this opportunity!

I’m a life long crafter: tatting & crochet teacher, painting and began art journal/planning classes in 2015 after my husband passed away; it really helped me over a difficult time. I’ve moved into mixed media and done some of Tamara’sprojects and dabbled thru 4 moves and 2 states; now 73 & in a stable home I’m excited to dive deep and would love the chance to participate in this adventure! Would love to win this opportunity. Thanks for everything you all do for all of us!

I’ve been playing in mixed media and enjoying it so much. Would love a chance to really explore art journaling! Thanks for the chance!

It sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Please enter me for the drawing! Thanks so much!!

Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway. It’s been a long and emotional year where I have been stripped back to rebuild myself all over again. This would be the perfect opportunity to reground myself and reconnect to heart and soul. I would embrace an opportunity like this with heart.

Oh, what a gorgeous gift! Thank you so much for making this possible for one of us who cannot splurge but is ready for this deep dive.

Hi Iris, bookmarked and would love an opportunity to participate in Book of Days 2022! Thank you. 🙂

Thank you so much for this opportunity to be a part of this awesome class.
I have had BOD on my wishlist for years but have never been financially able to purchase. To win a place would be so thrilling. THANK YOU!

Would love to do the Book of Days 2022… I know it will help my art journey as I explore being more intuitive and expressive.

Hi Iris – I have been inspired by you during LifeBook & following you via emails & Instagram. I would love the opportunity to participate in Book 📕 of Days to continue learning & I could definitely use some art therapy 😁 Thank you for the opportunity & thank you for inspiring us all!

This is one of my “always” classes. I would love to win the spot. It would be like the cherry on top!!

I loved looking through the thumbnails on the ‘Book of Days’ description page! I do some art journaling for a few days, then seem to lose my inspiration, and don’t do more for, maybe, weeks or more. I need regular inspiration and new ideas to keep me going and out of a creative rut. I’d love to win this enrollment – what a holiday gift for me!

What a wonderful chance to win this course, thank you for this giveaway.
A glimmer of light in these times.

I love the idea of winning a spot. Your honesty and art is something special and important to me as it’s easy to relate to you.

What a fantastic opportunity. It would be great to win BOD2022. It’s so nice to learn new things all the time ❤️

Thank you so much for a chance to win BOD. Also I want to act knowledge the fact that you gave us the chose to subscribe to your social media. You are the first person on the internet that I have ever heard saying this. Iris, you are one of a kind. Thank you for that. I love your art and you.
Michelle Mullen

I would love to win an enrolment in the Book of Days 2022. I so want to learn more about art journaling, to feel that I am on the right track.

I work in art journals but make my portraits in there so that is not real art journalling I guess. So I would like to learn more about art journalling. More just playing without expectation

Thank you for this opportunity for Book of Days scholarship! I really enjoy your teaching style and humor! Effy is a talented creator as well!! I also appreciate that it was not required to sign up for your newsletter because I already am on the list! Otherwise it creates a duplicate.
Thanks again!!!
