I'm just getting into Journaling and would love your book. I'm going to start stalking your blog as well to get some ideas. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI'm listening, right now, to your podcast interview with Alison Lee - have had your book on my Amazon wish list since pre-purchase was available ... would LOVE to win it!!! OH! Gotta go, you're ON!
ReplyDeleteHi Diana - Thanks for the insight on working WITH my inner critic rather than trying to push her away. I'm gonna try that!
ReplyDeleteI agree, January is a great time for a present! It helps chase away those January blues. I have to say, my new year is starting out in high creativity mode, which is very happy-making.
ReplyDeleteI am working on creating a journal to take to me to the 2010 Olympic Games. I am involved, so I will be right in the thick of things and I want to capture as much as I can for posterity!
Diana, your book is creative in so many more ways than artistically. I think it's a philosophy for life.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Your new book looks fantastic. I haven't seen it before but now it's on my wish list at Amazon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win.
AAAAHHH!!!! Your book is already in my shopping cart at chapters.ca, but I'd so love to win a copy instead! It would be exciting to get a package from you, and I know you didn't mention this, but: will you please sign the book too?
ReplyDeleteOh a giveaway how wonderful. I love the things you have shown on your blog so I know the book will be wonderful, please enter me in your drawing.
ReplyDeleteDiana, I'd love to be included in the drawing. I really like what you say in the video about journaling being FUN instead of "serious". Journaling IS fun!
ReplyDeletebest, Annie
I love your videos specially the "WaterColor & Resist" you make the technique to look so easy and fun and the results are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI would love love love to have your book.

er, diane.
ReplyDeletehow cool that you are doing this giveaway of your luscious journal book! what a nice generous spirit you have. and congrats on a beautiful book....happy new year....paula best
ReplyDeleteI want and need your book! I am going to start teaching at a Juvenile Corrections Facility next week. I am going to teach art journaling to 40 boys from age 13 to 17, all repeat hardcore offenders. Any suggestions? Have some fear about the communications as I am way old and they are way young. I try to walk through the open doors, but I will admit I'm afraid. Not of the kids, but will I be able to help them?
ReplyDeleteI've ordered this for our library but would love to own a copy too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Cheryl
I'm going to borders to see if they have your book on thursday! this would save me the 30 minute drive...
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I haven't gotten your book yet. I am more and more interested in art journaling as the days go by. Your approach seems to make it less intimidating which would be great!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Oh I would love a copy of your book. I've been enjoying you on you tube. Lots of great ideas.
ReplyDeleteCheryl
What a great blog! Love the book and if I don't win then I'm going to our independent book store and if they don't have it in stock I'll have them order me one! It will be my Valentine's gift from my hubby. He doesn't know it yet. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I would love a copy of your book. A friend brought a copy the other day at our mixed media group meeting and I didn't want to give it back to her. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't paid much attention to your book as I am not into journaling but looking at your blog, I find I like your artwork in general. I didn't realize that was your work in CPS - I was reading it just last night. Even if I'm not into journaling, I think your book would be good to have.
ReplyDeleteWhat A wonderful giveaway I have my fingers crossed thanks for giving us a chance to win Cheers Deb Raymer
ReplyDeleteYour book looks great! Thanks for doing this giveaway - hope I win..:)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to creating altered books. The pages of your book are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I'd love more than to receive your new book, Diana, is to see your journal pages in person. They are fantastic! I enjoy your tips on the artjournal list too - most helpful. You are very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love the videos too. I am going to try the watercolor resist right now but first please enter me in your give-away!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Jacqueline

I just love your new book. I look at it every time I go to the bookstore. They probably can't sell the copies I touch for all the drooling I do! So you see, you really should pick me; that way we'd both be doing our part for the economy. LOL -Seriously, the book is wonderful, and a great asset/resource for anyone who wants to make art journaling a way of life. Thanks, no matter what, for doing this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you for your generosity and your giving spirit! How fun for the lucky winner - you are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous thought for a giveaway. Thank you
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Thank you for the opportunity...
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your book publishing, jubilant you got it done, thankful for your sharing, and hopeful of your letting me know you got my name out of the hat. Oh! if only I could be that lucky!
ReplyDeleteI gave a copy to my daughter for Christmas, and now it would be nice to have my own copy.
ReplyDeleteDiana,
ReplyDeleteYour book is number one on my wish list. It looks awesome.
Shelley
I would love a copy of your book. I hope I win!
ReplyDeleteHow did you know that my resolution for 2010 is to journal?! :-) I would love to win your book to see how you do it. :-) Pick me, pick me!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog, this is my first time posting a comment though.
ReplyDeletejust had to put my name down for this... I am such a control freak in my work, I could use some big time help in just letting go and playing....
ReplyDeleteI'm someone that gets stopped by the "big, important thing" of journaling. This book looks like it might be just the thing to make it fun AND lovely to look at. Thanks for your efforts!
ReplyDeleteThis is so generous of you to give a book away! count me in and maybe i will meet you at the art&soul retreat! journal spilling is a great title, by the way, and your video was great to watch... the book seems to have a lot of fun techniques to offer!

And I love your book - it makes me want to go make something NOW. (I think I will!) Anyhow, looking forward to meeting you at an Abingdon workshop, and I'm so glad I found your blog. Your work is so exciting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there is a bit of competition. Still, I have my hand up. Thanks for the chance Diana.

Your book looks amazing! Art journaling-or journaling in general seems so intimidating. I hardly know where to start! I am reading all that I can and am so glad I found your Blog. Margaret
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed your videos on YouTube would love to have a copy of the book. If I don't win it I suppose I'll be buying it before long
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, I love the colors and the teaser pages you've posted.
ReplyDeleteI missed a few days on Rice's art journaling group & I went back to read the posts and they're all about your book & this giveaway. I've been seeing lots of great comments about it on the blogs, so I'm excited that you're giving one away. Of course if I win, I may have to resign from the group or get beaten up, but I'll take my chances! I'm off to watch some of these videos people are talking about...
ReplyDeleteReally nice videos-- the book looks juicy! Best of luck with your journey promo-ing your new book baby...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your book up close and personal. Now, I just need to be able to stop time and immerse myself in all your techniques. You are FEARLESS! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this book. It is so chock full of techniques and inspiration. I would love to own my own copy.
ReplyDeleteAs a newbie to art journaling I am over the moon checking out your stuff!! I'm actually shaking!! To be able to create like that would be a dream come true...I have trouble signing on to these things (thanks AOL!!) and so realize I won't win this, but wanted to let you know how impressed I am...Ann Shaver (on facebook)
ReplyDeleteYour book looks super cool...I enjoyed the video too!! Please add me to the list of hopefuls! Thanks!!

Congratulations on this wonderful book! I love your idea about working with the inner critic, and those closing comments, "It doesn't all have to be IMPORTANT, maybe a lot of it can just be about FUN!" Cheers to that!
ReplyDelete: ) lulu
I followed a link from Rice's blog and I'm glad that I did. I love all things journaling and even if I don't win a copy of your new book, I'll have to buy one and if I do win, I'll probably have to gift a copy to my sister who is way more art "gifted" than I am. I've always been the more pragmatic one but I'm trying for a new direction and for more self-expression. I can't wait to listen to the podcast of the interview of you by Rice.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered you and your book from Rice. Now I HAVE to have it!!! You're my new favorite inspiration! I hope I win! You have great YouTube videos too.
ReplyDeleteoooohh! on of my new year's resolutions was to journal more. Your book would be a big help and it would be fun to win it!
ReplyDeleteThe thought of working with my critic instead of trying to duct tape her sassy mouth is so inspiring! Have a fantastic week.
ReplyDeleteI love your style and the way you mix a kind of watercolorist approach with a more layerd, mixed media look in places. I thought I had to choose one or the other, but now I see I don't need to do that at all. Also, I think the inclusion of the "meaningless" page is great...makes me less afraid of those people who ask "what's it for? what's it mean?"..On a conscious level it need not mean anything at all to the viewer or to myself...and that's a big encouragment to just spill!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to have found your blog. I've looked at your book longingly more than once in the store. I especially love the November page.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I almost missed this chance to win this book and goodies! This is a book waiting in line on my Amazon wish list!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! A chance to win your book. AND I had just listened to your interview with Ricë. Great interview.
ReplyDeleteSo many things which you have to say resonate with my spirit. Thanks for the inspiration.
Angels be with you.
I am listening to you and Ricë as I type this! :)
ReplyDeleteYour book is part of the big pile I am saving up to buy on Amazon.uk, so I would indeed be thrilled to win a copy of it!
CHeers and happy trails from Barcelona! Lisa
Congratulations on this book!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the giveaway!
joanie
Yay for the giveaway!!! This book is on my list of "must haves." Congratulations on all that you do and I hope I'm the lucky winner.
ReplyDeleteI saw your book last weekend and put it on my wish list. Thank you for sharing a few pages.
ReplyDeleteYour book looks amazing, and would be a great addition to my library! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER seen anything like this before! It seems very therapeutic for the spirit. Minimum of supplies, no real thought or planning, very free-spirited!! A book that's DEFINITELY on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness I love your book so much! It was my birthday present to me from myself and a friend! I was so excited to take you home! I am working on a piece at school that combines the colors in the book. OOOH I hope I win this contest! I love this concept!
ReplyDeleteOh my gooooodness, you are so fun! I just came from AC Moore & as I was checking out, saw your WONDERFUL book....It's so fabulous & uplifting, fun & full of happiness! Thanks for creating it...it's on my wish list! Keep on creating & inspiring us!
