this summer...i plan to spend lot of time with my lil girl...doing stuff together...going on trip and keeping my art journal with me....and updating it with the memories i am making :)
I have a very ill husband, so I will be taking care of him. It is such a joy to see your out and about posts. The places you guys go are amazing. We built our own house, so your posts about all your DIYs are interesting to us too. Of course there is also your beautiful, clever art work....don't get me started! :D
This summer we are traveling the US and Canada in our camper! We've already seen some beautiful places, including the Oregon coast! I'd love to add some online art classes to our road schooling adventure. :)
This summer I plan on doing some good old fashioned camping...in a tent! I will also be attending the great MN get-together...the always amazing MN State Fair! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway! Hope you are having a lovely summer!
Going to try this again - my comment keeps disappearing on me! I plan on playing with my watercolors this summer while enjoying some of your classes (I've already signed up for some previous classes). I am keeping a sketchbook and paints on the kitchen counter so I can stop and play a few times during the day. Your blog is always inspirational for me! And Lucy is just adorable!!! Thanks for the giveaway.
I am having my very first summer in California and on top of that, my brother and friend are going to visit me from Estonia. We have planned to do a hwy 1 roadtrip. So excited about that!

We have a lot of birthdays in my family in the summer! But this year is extra special because we are throwing our daughter's first birthday party for her and her friends. I plan on making some decorations and favors and hopefully share some of it on my blog. I'm really excited! :)
Two selfish fun plans this summer are 1) taking a printed textiles summer school and 2) finally being able to set up my own art space - I can't wait! Thanks for the giveaway!
Would love to win this! My plan for the summer is to paint outdoors, which I've never done before but always wanted to do. I've borrowed an outdoor easel and now I'm trying to gather courage to start painting.
My fun this summer is going to all the local Fiestas and taking pictures to use in my artwork. Should be fun? Best of both worlds art & enjoyment.
We just bought a house in the country! I am going to decorate it with and for my 4 years old daughter!
This summer I have great plans! Together with a friend I will discover Norway by backpack. We'll sleep in forests and near glaciers and go hinking for days! Of course I bring my traveljournal wiyh me everywhere. My challenge for this year is to make no pictures, but draw everything. I wish you all a great summer!!

I'm going to retire and spend time with the grandkids swimming, picnicking, hiking, sun bathing, whatever I want. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in your classes.
Morning - ooh a bundle of fun classes - plans for the summer - trying not to work too much so I can spend time with said 14 year old would be a start. We've been given a long list of things he is going to have to know and understand for his English exams so hoping to create some artwork with him linked with that, these classes would be a fabulous addition to that as I'm trying to ensure it's not a summer full of Xbox! Can't wait to see what you and your family get up to!
Oh wow these look fabulous classes. I have just finished my silver smithing class for summer and Tuesdays are my only free non "paid" work day so I am looking forward to spending some of my Tuesdays exploring new ideas in my studio.I have recently started an art journal and I hope to fill lots and lots of pages. Thanks for offering such an amazing giveaway x
What a fantastically generous giveaway. Thank you. The school's Summer break starts here next week and we will be dotting here and there for days out until I take Wee Man to London for his birthday. Hurrah, adventuring we'll go! :D
This year I have planned absolutely nothing. Previous years my vacantions were cramfull of trips with everyone, so this year I am just going to paint and finish all the projects I started on. Thanks for the giveaway!
I plan to create some garden art with metal junk finds and to make all kinds of things for my SIL's newly renovated kitchen.
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
Julia
Hi! Thank you for this amazing giveaway!!!
I wrote a summer list in my Moleskine, making a list of things I want to do and make. Probably the most funny thing is painting and stampin on fabric, but trips to the beach are good the same :)
I live overseas so I'll be traveling to the beautiful USA to visit family & friends. I hope you're summer is fabulous too! :)
Biking along the Rideau Canal with my love ♥ and picnics along the way :-) Awesomeness
My summer class ends at the end of July and I will DEFINITELY be signing up for one of yours after I get that off my plate!
Anywho....a summer plan....my Swede is coming to visit America and we are going to the Grand Canyon. Both time for both of us...lets hope we don't die :D
I live overseas as well. My parents are coming to visit. It is rainy season here, but we are hoping for a beach trip all the same!
Wow, wow!!! All those summer-classes are looking like FUN! I'm sure I'll have time enough for creativity between travelling to Austria (I love mountains) and the Belgian Coast (I love sea)! :) But I'm also happy when I'm at home during holidays, time for family, time for reading, time for watching the birds at our garden! So fingers crossed for a FUN summer! Smiles from Belgium, Saskia :)
Thank you for your art, your blog and your giveaway! We have a lot gardening work to do this summer - my 4yrs old princess adores raspberries, so we definetely need to have it much more than we have it now in the garden. And the youngest princess turns one year this July, so I plan to throw a small mint party to celebrate her birthday)))

Our plan now is to help her get better so she can attend college in August. Love your classes and your new coloring pages! Thanks for all you do!

Thanks Alisa!
I didn't see my comment the first time I tried to post so if this is duplicated I apologize. We are spending our summer like every other summer (and fall and winter and spring!): spending as much time as possible in the White Mts in NH. It is our "happy place" and get up there as often as we can. Luckily it is just about a two hour drive from our home. We are also working on a home renovation so I am shopping for that! Fun! And getting in as much creative time as possible, per usual! :)
Well something fun would definitely be taking your classes! I'd so love to! But we are heading out on a family vacation up north to the lake. Lots of fishing, eating, reading and relaxing with my family!
Fitting in lots of crafts around evening bike rides and walks. Maybe some day trips to check out new places and get inspiration.
We are going to visit restaurants to select for our sons rehearsal dinner in a city where we have never been. So many places to eat.....I guess we have to try them all.
Summertime will be full of shakespeare in the park, movies with the grandsons, and music downtow . Other than that, as always, tons of creating time.
This summer I am enjoying my college-aged kids who are home for the summer & going to visit family in Michigan - lucky me!

My husband I and I have two awesome things planned for summer, we just took a trip to Yosemite, it was my first time there and it was incredible.

This summer I just want to be outside in nature, with nature, loving nature, drawing nature, taking pictures of nature, and everything else nature! I absolutely love your blog and all your amazing tips and tricks and beautiful artwork!
Thank you for the opportunity of this giveaway! Something fun.... hmmmm.... I plan on doing new stepping stones for a little trailer we just purchased down by the Jersey shore - When we made them for our house (years ago) I mixed our own cement and used the bottom part of a plant pot which was the perfect size ... we used magnet letters to spell out our name and added odds and ends that were an important part of us!!!! I think we need to do this again!!!! It was so fun and I think you even blogged about it once when you made them with your own daughter!!!!! That will be one of our "special family art days".

This summer I'll be experimenting mix-media. I made my own journal and I'm excited to start painting and get messy. ;)
I am going to Plockton on the west coast of Scotland (where I live) with my husband, children and my standard poodle. I've not been there before so I am looking forward to it and also finding the time to do some painting. Thank you!
I'm moving this summer. That's fun right? Actually we're hoping to turn it into an extended trip up the coast from Santa Monica to Seattle, complete with sketchpad and watercolors. We'll definitely be spending some time with friends on the Oregon Coast.
I have only one vacation planned. I'm taking one of my daughters and her two boys to visit my parents near Yosemite National Park. There will be four generations together. We will play in the creek, go to the Loggers Jamboree, swim at the lake and have the best chocolate malts at a little shop that's only open in the summer.
Here in Argentina it´s winter, but I would love to win this :)
We don't have a lot of money for elaborate summer plans but our favorite things to do are simple and usually happen in our backyard: grilling and eating on the patio every night, gardening, playing baseball or soccer with the kids, making s'mores, and my favorite - fixing up a cute little play corner for the kids with painted rocks, stepping stones and re-painting a hand-me-down wood playset we just received.
This summer i will be visiting all the lighthouses in the Turkish Aegean Coast. It is part of my studies for my PhD. But it involves a lot of fun, mainly because of the locations of the lighthouses. Some are on islands, some are on moles, some on high lands and some are right in the sea. So we ride a car, sometimes we climb the mountains and sometimes sail a boat to reach the lighthouses. I meet lovely lighthouse keepers and other people, taste local food and swim in between. I am also hoping to document my travels in my art journal. Maybe on other mediums, too. So happy creating :)
We are planning to have a bike trip on the French coast and as usual do lots of drawing and painting, knitting, cooking, walking. Thanks for this very nice opportunity
This summer I'ill too visit my mother in Italy!! Thank you for the giveaway.

My summer is filled with making memories with my 10 grandkids. Swimming, camping, making up plays, art projects, baseball games, park time, you name it we love to be together> We are blessed to live close to one another! Love your ideas to do with them.
I am resting while healing a knee and creating some new art. Really, I'm learning patience this summer while laying low. :)
Summer bundle....how AWESOME!!! I hope to create as much as possible this summer. Working full time it's hard, but with the kiddos out of school hope to have some free time! But high on the list for my family is CAMPING!!! We love the outdoors and it always gives me incentive to create!! Hope your summer classes will be full of fun and thanks for the opportunity!!
I'd love to win this giveaway! Looking forward to having 2 of my boys coming home for a visit in August.
I'm just enjoying my time reading, writing blog posts, making new crafts and exploring new places!
Since I homeschooling my kiddos...my summer plans include lots of time in my studio. I use the time to create new products and write and illustrate storybooks that will sell during school months.
I would love to be able to teach this to my kids!!
You are so kind and generous to be giving away such a wonderful gift of learning!! Thank you so much for the opportunity!!
This Summer we are going camping at the beach. While there, my husband and I are going to go and do a hands on glass blowing session.....something we can check off our bucket list!! :-)
We are heading to Seaside this summer!
we are moving this summer so looking forward to setting up my creative space!
This summer, I stay at home with my 6 years old daughter and we will spend a lot of time to play outside and to create together in a creative art journal ;)
I am going to retire in August! Woo hoo! Until then I plan to find time to walk on the beach on the weekends in the morning and add to my "You Me and the Sea" journal I started with your class. Thank you for this opportunity to win some of your fabulous classes!
I'm planning to take my daughter to Mall of America and Valley Fair this summer. She's been wanting to go for several years :)
This summer I'm hoping to just reclaim my life and creativity from a variety of frustrating, draining situations. I'm hoping to take some fun classes, read some good books, and just generally remember what it is that I love about my life.
Love your classes, and have been having loads of fun with the coloring pages so far! This summer, when we're not at the pool or lounging about with our love-hog kitties, my girls and I will be drawing mandalas to use in my yoga classes this fall.
We have a big milestone birthday coming up this summer and we going to celebrate with a large party! :)
am on the hunt for those water balloon gadgets so that we can have a summer filled with water balloon wars--
thanks for the give away
I am working on 100 canvases. So fun. I've been so. Creative lately and have finished 8!!
My summer includes lots of lemonade and shade with my sketch book.
I'm planning on working with my art again this summer.
My goal this summer is to share my love of color and art with my son! :)
What a fantastic giveaway!
This summer, I am hoping to do lots of hiking and take my sketchbook and paints with me.

This summer I have planned to see my dad who lives a couple of hours away. And I will be working in my art journal while at home and taking a travel journal even if I just go to the park!
Going home for 2 weeks to visit my family outside of Philly. It'll be hot, humid and sticky but we'll find stuff to do.
This summer we're going to Portugal to meet my niece!!
big project, Getting the House In Order, then for FUN I am going to Cape Cod for my show reception!
Best of the best - I'm going to spend time visiting my grandchildren and immerse myself into ages 2 and 6. The playtime never ends, for them or for me!
I'm having a memory moment...summer holidays spent colouring under our huge weeping willow tree. Playing with these courses would bring a lot of that glorious feeling back! Vancouver is awesome in the summer, and I plan on spending a lot of time at farmer's markets, and summer festivals!
Thanks for this giveaway! This summer, we go to the south of France and I will take my sketchbook(s) and art supplies with me. And I will see what I will do in the next half of the year for our second bookpagechallenge.
yippee! **fingers crossed** This summer we are working on getting our backyard fixed up! We want to make a funky, super comfortable place to hang out :-)
No big plans for the summer: I love the slow pace of it and enjoy every minute of it. My big plans will come for Fall and Winter, when I'll miss Summer too much!
My husband retires this summer so we plan on taking a well earned rest!
I'm super excited about a trip home to play with my niece and nephews!
I am going back to work after 17 years of being a stay-at-home mom and/or working part time. I cannot wait, although this may not be the "fun" you were referring to? Thanks for the chance - I definitely want to stay balanced and keep making art. xo
