What's Life Book All About?

Life Book is a year long course organised by Tamara Laporte (Willowing Arts) starting on 1st January 2012.

The idea of the course is that participants will be creating one or more mixed media pages each month which by the end of the year they will bind together in one big book (likely to be Japanese stab-bound). The theme of the course, as the title suggests, is a celebration and honouring of self. Each month will have a different self- celebration/ honouring theme which will be worked through in the page(s) with all sorts of mixed media techniques and self-healing/ self-development exercises.

By the end of the year you will have a gorgeous mixed media art journal (or Life Book) which captures your journey, growth and development in 2012!

This course will be overflowing with lessons, inspiration and stuff to keep you busy the whole year!!

What else will I get if I sign up?

Well, as if a minimum of 26 spectacular mixed media lessons (videos & PDFs) plus all the extras in the other weeks isn't enough, you will ALSO have the opportunity to get access to some of my other courses and can sign up to a package which also offers some coaching by Tam over skype!

There will be 3 different packages you can sign up to!

Basic Life Book Package:
ONLY $99 - gives you access to Life Book for the whole year (24+ mixed media lessons) and 1 of my other self study groups (choose from: Digital Dreams, Fabulous Faces, Ultimate World of Whimsy, Awesome Art Journal or Magical Mythical Makings). This effectively ends up being approx $3.5 per lesson ONLY! (Insane!!)

Premium Life Book Package:
ONLY $129 - gives you access to Life Book for the whole year (24+ mixed media lessons) and 2 of my other self study groups (choose from: Digital Dreams, Fabulous Faces, Ultimate World of Whimsy, Awesome Art Journal or Magical Mythical Makings). This effectively ends up being approx $3.3 per lesson ONLY! (Insane!!)

Rainbow Life Book Package:
ONLY $149 - gives you access to Life Book for the whole year (24+ mixed media lessons) and 3 of my other self study groups plus you'll get 2 hours of skype coaching by Tam (limited offer) (choose from: Digital Dreams, Fabulous Faces, Ultimate World of Whimsy, Awesome Art Journal or Magical Mythical Makings). This effectively ends up being approx $3 per lesson ONLY! (Insane!!)

About Payment Plans

Before I go into the payment plans, I just want to point out that those who are concerned about budget and paying $99 for the course, that though it may seem like a lot of money, please realise that that amount of money gets you a whole year of mixed media lessons (a minimum of 24 lessons) + 1 other of my courses (which is another miminimum of approx 6 lessons AND all the extras of artist interviews, art journal prompts, extra PDFs to inspire you etc etc.

So while $99 might seem like a lot of money, in fact, the lessons turn out to be approx ONLY $3 per lesson and that doesn't even account for all the extras you get.

So, I do totally understand that $99 seems like a lot of money, but if you spread it out over the year and see it as an invaluable investment in a wealth of information spread out over the year, not to mention all the artsy connections you will make on the course, it ends up very cheap!

All that said, I do know that parting with $99 at once, isn't always easy for people, so I will be making installment payment plans available. Doing this though, will cause a lot more administrative work for me, so the installment amounts will be a bit higher than if you paid in one go.

So, while the one off payment will be $99 (or $129 or $149), the installment payment plan will charge you: approx $36.50 every 4 months (so 3 times) from the moment you sign up (as long as sign up happens between October 1st 2011 and 1st May 2012).

If you sign up after 1st May 2012 you will be able to pay in 2 installments of approx $56.25, and if you sign up after 1st September it will not be possible to pay in installments as then there are only 4 months left on the course, so the payment plan will then revert back to the one off payment of $99.

Note:

• There will only be payment plans available for the basic package (not for the other two).


• I will also make a [limited] very low payment plan available, for those with more financial difficulty. This might be something like $13 a month or something along those lines but still need to think about this. This plan will only be available to about 10-15 people who fit the profile, as again: it adds massive administration work on my part.


• Installments will be set up through paypal and automatically be taken out of your account every 4 months (or 1 month if you're on the 1 month plan).


• In order to stay true to my affiliates, you will need to go through 2 steps when setting up your installment payment plan. You will initially have to buy a "token sign up" for 0.5 cents through ejunkie and then set up your actual proper subscription payment through paypal. This way I can keep track of where you 'came from' and that way I can award the appropriate affiliate fee to the guest teachers (should you have come through one of their links). If this is confusing, don't worry too much about it, just know there are two steps to the sign up process for installment payment plans.
