First of all, thanks for signing up!
I know that your in-box is probably jammed full, so I won't clutter yours up very often, just every now & then when I have some news & free stuff to share.

For those of you who have read a little bit about me , you know that I support my family as an art teacher.
Now that summer is over, I'm back to school full time teaching digital media (animation, web design, video editing) and architecture.
Some days I can barely keep up with all the new software! And the teenagers...well, they stay 16 and I'm another year older.
This means that I'm writing and illustrating late at night, after dinner, a nap, and an occasional "hello" to my family!
My house is a mess, and we are eating more take-out than home-cooked these days...
Why I am staying up late at night making "positive art for the plus-size majority" when I could be relaxing?

Exclusive November Give-Away for my subscribers only!
November is my birthday month!
To celebrate, I am giving away a signed copy of "More to Love" EVERY DAY in November to my newsletter subscribers!!!
Check your email starting November 1st: I'll send you an email if you win!
I have a very small list, so chances are you could be one of the 30 winners.

I'm very excited about a new book idea that I am working on!
The book is based on a simple question:
If "Big Girls Don't Cry", what do they do instead?...
So far all my "big girls" are doing daring things like mountain climbing or ice skating, and positive things like finishing a college degree or getting the deluxe treatment at a spa.
If you have a daring and/or positive activity for a "big girl",
please send me an email with "BIG GIRLS" in the subject to elizabeth@elizabethpatch.com
Free signed copies of the new book if I use your idea!

I am a one-woman business, and rely on the "circle of girlfriends" to spread my work.
If you believe in my positive body image message and enjoy the art,
please send your friends to visit moretolove.net to sign up for free art (and a chance to win a signed book!)
