Many of you must know by now that I have been a teacher for Big Picture Classes for a long time. I am a big fan of Stacy and Kayce and Wendy and love the community there so very very much.
Another thing I love about BPC is that every August, they do a special class that’s completely free. I was a part of the summer special for the last two years and I am delighted to be a part of it again this year.
This year’s theme is “Words to Live By”. 12 of BPC’s instructors will be participating. Here’s a little blurb:
Each instructor will be giving you a word of the day, which we hope will inspire you, along with a downloadable template (in both printable and digital format) so that you can create a mini layout about that day’s word and how you applied it in your life. Finally, each teacher will leave you with an inspirational video message and a preview of the page they created with their word.
It’s now open for registration. You can register either by clicking here or the photo below. (Btw, I’m scheduled to share on August 23.)
While the workshop is completely free, the BPC ladies put together an exclusive kit for it as well. It’s completely optional but you can find the contents here.
BPC has generously decided to give away a kit to one of my blog readers. Here’s a photo of the kit:
So if you’d like the kit, just leave a comment here and I will announce a recipient on Tuesday the 26th.
Sounds good?
Whoohoo, I have registered for the class again. Had so much fun last year and love to join again this year. So sweet you are giving a package for one lucky winner. Can’t wait to see what you all have in store for us!!

I’m so looking forward to the Big Ideas Festival. I can’t afford to take all the classes I used to take so to be able to do a free one is just great.
