2015 Workshops & Events
I'm excited to let you know that l'll be doing a bit more teaching at in-person workshop events in 2015.
I've got four classes I'm offering at in-person events this year that will likely become self-paced workshops here on my site later in the year. Workshops include Storytelling with Project Life®, I Am Tag Book, Day In The Life™, and Love You Because (not all workshops will be available at all events and are subject to change).

ONLINE WORKSHOPS
In addition to these in-person events, I'm working on a new 12-week online workshop which will begin in April. The focus of this brand new workshop will be all about typography and designing with words to tell your stories. More details to come in March.
Later in the year be on the lookout for 31 More Things with all new story prompts. I'll also be adding the original version of 31 Things sometime this year as a self-paced workshop for those of you who missed that one previously.
There's also still time to join the 2015 One Little Word® workshop. The new prompt for February just went out earlier this week and it's definitely not too late to decide on a word for this year and do the work to make it visible in your life. Registration for this workshop will remain open until March 30th.
A NOTE ABOUT PAST BIG PICTURE CLASSES WORKSHOPS
If you previously took any of the following online workshops from me at Big Picture Classes - Hello Story, Yesterday & Today, 31 Things, and One Little Word® 2011-2013 - please know that we are in the process (go Katie) of moving all that content over to the Classes section of my site. We will be notifying you via email once that process is completed with instructions for how to access the content from those workshops. Please note that the galleries and message boards will not be transferring over to my site.
In addition, we will also be offering Hello Story and Yesterday & Today as self-paced classes in the coming months.
Ali this is amazing that you get the opportunity to go to all these places. You are truly an inspiration and dI am grateful you do what you do. Now, come to SLC, utah :)

I'm so excited for all of this. Will you still do "A Week in the Life" this year? If so, do you know what week you are targeting. This is my favorite project each year.

Are you going to the Markham event?

Hopefully she'll be near by again!!

I can't believe the Canada class is sold out! Well, yes I can, but I'm bummed because I live just 90 minutes or so away!!! I hope you come back there one day :)
ps: that typography class sounds amazing!!

Oh Ali, this is awesome, but will there be any sort of the Lens of Joy version too - self-paced or anything?! Oh please, I was so bummed when I missed it last year!
I was going to ask about Lens of Joy as well?
Yes! I forgot about that one but it will also be available (self-paced I believe) this year.
This is GREAT! Thank you!

Yesterday & Today was one of the most life changing classes I've ever taken, and not just because I was forced to learn Photoshop!
It was an amazing class and I'm happy it will be archived here.
A typography class? Oh my gosh yes! (now that I can somewhat navigate around in Photoshop-thanks to Y&T!)

Yes we would!
Ditto - yes we would. You have a loyal following in Australia. Bring the kids!
Yes please Ali! You and the kids can stay at mine. And i am sure you get accom all over Australia! ahhaahah

I am so pleased to hear that your are transferring those classes across.I enrolled in them all but only did about 50% of each due to lack of time. Have always planned to complete them when life slowed down. (And re Natasha's post above, it would be wonderful if you came back - I loved the classes you did last time you were here & would drop everything to attend one of your classes again.)

So, so SO excited that you are coming to Florida! My in-laws live in The Villages and I will for sure be enrolling in your classes! Looking forward to meeting you!

So relieved about Hello Story. I'll be waiting to hear about Typography and Words, especially to find out how Photoshop-heavy it will be. I don't have Photoshop or an electronic die cutter and am finding more workshops that feature these so heavily that I don't sign up. Guess I'm old fashioned. (Or maybe just old ;) You are Thriving! And it is wonderful to see.

So excited for another round of 31 things - loved the last one and told some great stories about myself and my feelings that I treasure.
Me, too! I LOVED that class! I recently read over what I wrote at the time and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the new class.....
I am redoing the first 31 Things to see if I have a new perspective. It's been interesting.

Oh my WOW! So much exciting news. I regret so much that I missed out on Hello Story. Cannot wait to dive into as a self-paced class. And I'm completely giddy for you that you're going to France: TWICE IN ONE YEAR! It's truly exciting watching your business evolve and open up in such a big way. Soon, Katie's going to need a Katie :-)

I am so excited!!!! I live 8 hours away from the Florida workshops but we are taking the kids on vacation there that same week! I so hope I can take some of these classes. Does anyone know how many people they allow for each class there?
