Give away time: the greatest gift!

Hi al!
It's a super duper happy day: we reached 3/4 of a thousend likes on my facebook page (750 that is) and 4000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. THANK YOU!!!
A give away would be the least I could do to thank you. But what should i give way?? At first i was planning to give away a couple of kits. Nope, not 'big' enough. How about, the greatest gift?

Coucou!
C'est une super belle journée: nous avons atteint les 3/4 de mille j'aime sur ma page facebook (c.à.d. 750) et 4000 souscrits sur ma chaîne YouTube. MERCI!!!
Un tirage au sort et distribution de petites surprises serait la moindre des choses à cette occasion. Mais quoi offrir?? Au départ je pensais offrir quelques kits. Non, pas assez 'greand'. Que diriez-vous du plus beau cadeau?


Le plus beau cadeau que l'on
puisse offrir à quelqu'un
est son temps.
Parce que lorsqu'on offre son temps
on offre une partie de sa vie
qu'on ne pourra jamais
récupérer.


But 'how' will you ask me. Well, i'm giving away 
3 private Skype art journaling sessions 
of two hours each. So, if you'd like to spend two hours art journaling together with me, live using Skype (or Google hang out), leave me a comment on this blog post. Tell me why you'd like to spend two hours with me. I'll announce the 3 winners on Friday October 18th.

Mais 'comment' me diriez-vous. Bien, j'offre 
3 séances privées d'art journaling via Skype 
de deux heures chacune. Donc, si vous aimeriez passer 2 heures à faire de l'art journaling avec moi, en direct via Skype (ou Google hang out), laissez-moi un commentaire sur ce message. Dites-moi pourquoi vous aimeriez passer ces deux heures avec moi. J'annoncerai les gagnants vendredi 18 octobre.

Ce qui m'intéresse surtout ce sont toutes les petites techniques et bases concernant les couleurs, les matières... et en bonus une foultitude d'idées créatives!!! Et plus on pratique plus on trouve l'inspiration. Merci France!

  6. Coucou France, What a generous 'give away' you are offering - and if I'm lucky enough to be one of the winners it would be like a dream come true for me, as it is not possible to come along to one of your workshops as we live too far away from each other. Certainly it would be a wonderful chance to spend time creating journaling pages along side each other. How lucky we are that technology is able to offer such treats. I'll be keeping fingers and toes crossed. Thank you for offering such a wonderful chance to win.
    Warmest best wishes,
    Susanne

  10. Oh moi !!!! J'adorerai apprendre tes techniques "en direct" car j'adore ce que tu fais et j'ai un peu de mal avec l'art journal car je ne sais jamais sur quel thème partir. Tu me donnerai ainsi un super coup de pouce.

  16. Wow, that sounds like fun! I would love a google hangout session with you. I could use some fellowship with another artist and would enjoy learning from you as I admire your art. I have not had a lot of time to craft as of late due to a busy schedule with family and such but would love to get a jump start on my motivation and mojo from a little class with you should I happen to get picked. Thank you.

  18. wow! France, this is soooo generous of you. I would love to have the chance to win one of those sessions! I would use them to ask thousands questions about material, techniques, etc (be prepared if I win, lol!); also to practice and to get inspiration from the way you get ready for your journal pages and how you create them.
    I can see my mind start rolling with excitement about the possibility just now… :-)
    Thanks so much, congrats in your success,
    cheers,
    Vron

  21. Oh France! Two hours spent with you doing wonderful art? YES!!! I love your art and would be so happy to learn techniques from you first hand. Thank you for this chance! :-)

  22. I would love to have time with you. I have always loved to doodle and do crafty things but never in an artistic way. Last year I went on YouTube and discovered you!! I loved your work of course but I loved how you explained things and were willing to show us everything so we could do it ourselves.
    So now I basically stalk you, joking! I do see all your stamptique, and journal videos and have seen you grow too! With the rusted metal and boxes but still stay true to you.I now try to journal every day and have made a small studio that is filling up fast.
    I love your colors, the dyes, the ideas and the sentiments.
    This is a very generous prize and whomever wins will be one very lucky person! Thanks, Susan Reiser

  24. I would absolutely love to make a page together!!!
    I have no confidence what so ever in what I do in my journal.....one on one time with a teacher would be such a boost!

    RépondreSupprimer
  25. It is no wonder to me that so many people are following you, and ofcourse me too would love to work on a page in your presence. Like your tutorials it will certainly inspire me, but on top of it I would hope for some honest feedback on what I'm doing. You're a wonderful teacher!

  26. This is a lovely opportunity. It would be cool to be selected because I enjoy your journals on Monday, in particular how you set up you backgrounds. I would like to learn techniques to help in that area.

  27. This would be amazing, to actually e able to see the process in real time and interact with you, Im not sure how well Id be at the follow along as Id be so much wanting to watch and not miss anything at all, lol. Thank you for opportunity.

  31. Time really is the greatest gift. Since I "found" you, I have been inspired by your videos weekly. Your voice, your method, your results--everything about you is inspiring. What an awesome gift this will be for some very fortunate person!

  32. Hello my lovely .... mahoosive congrats on the FB/Youtube followers. As a long time admirer of your art/unique style I would swim oceans {I don't do swimming lol} to be in with a chance of winning this fantastic giveaway. You are one talented lady and I wish you all the success in the world as you embrace the journey. Love Journal On Monday, keep up the good work inspiring us all. xx

  33. Congratulations, and rightly so for such a talented lady who not only produce s wonderful art but also shares it and teaches and inspires other. You certainly have me. I'd love to spend a couple hours being taught and helped by yourself to encourage me to find my own style and try and sort out my confusion with art journaling as I've so many ideas I don't know where to start most times. Thanks for the chance and good luck to all

  34. Wow - there are so many reasons. Let's go!
    You were one of the first blogs I really started to follow. You are so faithful at keeping up your blog and it has been inspiring to see where your art has taken you.
    I LOVE the journal on Monday series, and have adapted a couple of your pages in my journals - they make a great starting point.
    You are detailed oriented - something I am not, and I'm sure I could benefit from this aspect of your work.
    You're work is wonderful. You are a very talented woman. Plus you have triumphed over adversity - a wonderful thing.
    I love listening to you speak. Such a melodious accent. (I know that's not really an art consideration, but it is true).
    As I recently told someone at the Art & Soul Retreat in Portland, Oregon, all my art buddies are in England and the Netherlands and that's really not working out so well for me. The opportunity to Skype with you would prove that statement wrong.
    Many, many months ago I received an ATC from you. It was the first one I ever got, and it holds a place of honor in the Fun Room.
    I'm a fan.
    And lastly it would be interesting to find a time that worked for Belgium and Alaska.
    Great gift - thanks for the opportunity France!

  35. France, I wait for you videos each week and can only hope I might be one of the lucky ones to get a skype lesson with you. I have just recently started setting up my own web/blog page and am anxious to share my art with others. I have learned so much from watching your tutorials but have so much more to learn. Maybe I will get to meet you on line someday. Thank you for sharing your time with us all. Best wishes on your journey. Barbie
