I would love to win this magical course , I worked in school for years and have read all the fairy tales , so to be able to learn to paint fairy tale characters would be amazing .
I’d love to join Ever After – looks so inspirational! I’ve only started drawing faces in the last 6 months so this is a fun way to develop those skills 🙂
Fairy tales are just wonderful and so inspiring. I would love to win a spot and have this great opportunity to practice with such a talented team of teachers…
Hi Carla
Our world needs some fairytales some time! 😃
Sandra
Hi Carla, I would love to win the free class, because I have never won in a lottery before (hahaha). I loved your “Year of the Fairy Tale” and joining you and some other teachers in new fairy-tale adventures would be great!
Best wishes, eva
I would like to join Ever After 2016 because it sounds a bit magical to focus on art while also enjoying the fairytale aspect of story. I am longing to do something different, and this sounds like it’s the different that I need in my life at this time. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
My grandmother invented stories for sleep and raised in a magical and imaginative environment. Growing myself I started writing custom stories and now I have a page called Kingdom of stories which tell stories , thoughts … I love everything about magic. With such positive magic that makes you dream and believe that anything is possible with a dream. The course is amazing and the artists even more. To perform this course would be a great opportunity to learn more techniques and advance my personal style. Thank you for the opportunity to get a place . A hug.
I would really love to win a spot to help me sprinkle some fairy dust over my inner wicked witch, (critic) and give her a truly creative makeover. In my fairytale she could blossom into a fairy princess with magical paintbrushes for wands….who knows what may happen!
Amazing course, wonderful teachers!, why not?!
Thanks for another opportunity, hope again…
best wishes
Dear Carla, I have admired your art work for a long time . I have your Drawing Lab Book and love it. I have a huge love of fairy tales and my love of these beautiful stories still to this day intrigue me. My twelve grandchildren love spending time in my studio and it would mean so much to me to be able to share paintings with them of the very fairy tail characters i feel are part of my life story. With your help and all the other artists I believe I could paint those beautiful unusual characters. This class would be a life changer for me. Thank you so much for the opportunity to fulfill one of my dreams. Have a happily ever after day, Belinda D
I love illustration and the fairytales are my favorite subject . this is a wonderfull opportunity to learn different techniques and to have new inspirations
Thank you for this beautiful chance .
This class sounds like a lot of fun – would love to win a place in it! Thank you.
I believe in Unicorns… I believe in dreaming, learning, creating and having fun!
I’m always looking out for new techniques and new inspiration, so this great class sounds perfect to me!
Smiles from Belgium, Saskia 🙂
This looks like an amazing class. I would love to learn some new techniques and have some fun!
This is what I need to move forward on one of my dreams of collaborating on a children’s book with my musician son. I need to develop a style and learn new techniques.
I find your work and classes wonderful, up-lifting and inspiring! I enjoy them immensely and they have helped me so much! I am trying to do book illustrations, mainly children’s books (I am almost there!), and last time the class run, I couldn’t join in, so it is great to get another chance! Spot or no spot, I wish you all the best! 🙂 Madeleine
This sounds like an amazing class! I would love for my daughter to win the free spot in the Ever After class. She is an aspiring and talented artist going into her sophomore year. I’ve raised her on multi cultural fairytales too and to see her grow her illustrating skills in this genre would be such a gift.
I would love a chance to take this class with all the amazing and talented artist teachers!
There are great teachers and so many styles! I think this is a good opportunity to do something for my own expression. And it says a lot that we love fairy tales, right?
I took your awesome class “Year of the Fairy Tale” and I would love a chance to continue following the fairy tale theme…it is by far my favorite art-making theme. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Also loving fairytales, so I would love to get a chance to take this class.
I’m thinking of writing a children’s book about not trying to fit into society ‘s definition of girls and boys. I’d like to also illustrate it and I think this course would be perfect for helping me with that.
What a great class this will be…Fairy Tales to expand the mind and imagination. I would love to win a spot to help me release my inner heroine.
After a long teaching career, I am ready to enter the fairy tale world again!
Two of my favorite things: art classes and fairy tales! This would be so much fun! Thank you for an opportunity to win a spot!
I would love to win this class then I can do the Summer fairy tale class as well. they both sound like so much fun and are so different.
I’d love to have a happily ever after. I really live fairytales so this class would be just wonderful
Im so excited about this new course…. I live in fairy tales.. 48 years old and i still buy the books in 2nd hand stores 🙂
As to why id like to win. A week ago i had a hysterectomy. Im a mum of 8 beautiful children and its been a long road.. but now the recovery begins! How awesome it would be to recover with a place in Ever After!
Good luck to everyone… its gonna be AWESOME!!!!
I have been so excited about this course from the time Tam first announced it! The teacher lineup looks amazingly magical. Your work is very inspiring as I feel such a connection to your style. I am a Fairy Godmother . . .(have a subscription-based community of wee folk I send anonymous fairy accessories to each month). This course is going to be perfect to enhance my artistic ability and spread more magic fairy sparkles to the letters that go out each month. I have been accused of living in La-La land my whole life . . .in younger years didn’t know how to respond to that . . . .now my response is “yes I do and I love it here”! Magical Fairy Love to All, Fairy Godmother aka Cindy Ford 🙂 🙂 🙂
I can’t get enough of fairy tales, so I really hope to win being a pensioneer of limited fonds!!!!!
I would love to win a spot in this class fo my wife who can’t get enough of fairy tales !
I am so excited about this class! For me, it will be a chance to reconnect with my inner child. A chance to let all the worries of this world go for just a little while and escape into a fairytale land. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Fairy tales are my favorite and I would love to win a spot in this class to expand my art skills.
I am following the Blog Hop hoping I can secure a spot in this wonderful class! Just love fairy tales!
Now wouldn’t it be a dream come true to win a spot in the wonderful world of fairy tales.
The reason I wish to join Ever After is quite simple. I’m on sick leave since January and have tons of time but sadly, no money to afford any ecourses. Winning a spot in Ever After would be a great way to keep me sane in this difficult period I’m going through. Thank you for this chance. 🙂
i love illustrati and the Fairytails are my favorite subject ..this is a beautiful opportunity to learn new technics and to have new inspirations.
thank you Carla and Teachers and Good luck to all
Such an exciting class!! It would be such an honor to partake in so much creativity 🙂
I would love to win this class ! Looks like pure delight and pure joyful fun !
Thank you !
I would love to win this class for 2 reasons:
A) I had to drop out of the initial Year of the Fairy Tale because of life, &
B) exposure to new/other artists’ styles and opportunities to combine what I was able to glean with a fresh perspective, a backdrop of summer and its air of possibility, and in a shorter time period. My kids would even be able to join me!
Thank you for the opportunity!
I’m a storyteller as my day job (to children and to adults), so one of the types of stories I tell is fairy tales. The idea of trying to illustrate fairy tales is scary but … intriguing. Yep; if I won this giveaway, I’d be forced to stretch in a really good way. Thanks for this offer to apply.
Fairy Tales are the best kind of tales and I’d love to be play along with others if I won. It sounds like fun!
I have written a children’s book but I’m stuck on how I will go about illustrating it. Ever After would be a wonderful opportunity to grab a truck load of inspiration! My toes, legs and fingers are crossed and the voice in my head is jumping up and down – PICK ME – I would love to be part of the fun! X
I love fairy tales! And I need a big project for the summer!
To paint an imaginary Ever After world would be delicious …✨🎨✨
I would love to win a spot in this class! I have only recently found painting and drawing as a way to express myself and to be able to add the magic from my childhood fairy tales to my art would be fantastic!!
I would love to win a spot! Who doesn’t love fairy tales! This has such a great line up of artists!
I have always loved fairy tails and this class looks like so much fun, learning to bring those tails to life. I love it!!!

I would love to win a spot so I can develop my own style, thanks for the chance!

I am very interested in this course. Life can get you down and when it was I found Tamara. I have just started to draw and at 55 I can not believe I can do it. This class would help me futher into the world of discovery about me and what I can do 🙂

This class sounds, as Tam would say, Amazeballs! Great subject and great teachers!
Carla, I would love to win a spot in Ever After 2016. I was introduced to Lifebook by some art friends of mine, who told me to stop ‘wishing” I could draw/paint and join the class with them.

I have always loved fantasy and fairy tales very much. This class sounds like a dream come true. 😍😍😍 Both fairy tales and art have helped me a lot through hard times. To combine them is a really good idea! 😀

I’m looking forward to the Ever After course because I love fairy tales and hope to illustrate a children’s book and the lessons in Ever After, especially Module 2, will help me achieve this goal. 🙂 Also, the line-up of teachers is amazing! 🙂
Oh ever since I can remember I dreamt of being an animation artist (hand-drawn) but back in the 80’s in South Africa it was not possible. Was not offered here and we still had sanctions because of Apartheid….. then life happened. I am nearing 50 and to to this will be like my dream come true. I love Disney……and fairy tales……and stories. Always lived creatively but just recently starting persueing art full time. One can keep on dreaming.
I am just so inspired by all of this fantastic fairytale art! I’m really looking forward to this class!
I have recently lost my mother (December) she was an artist as well. Along with that, I have some health issues that have led to income loss so have been unable to afford any online classes. Used to do Lifebook which is where I was first introduced to your work Carla and I love how playing made me feel then.. I have lost inspiration to draw, color and play but seeing the possibilities with this online course, I would love to win and maybe get my art back on. Thank you for the opportunity.
I love fairy tales, so this would be the perfect class for me. I hope to be the lucky winner of a spot in this class!

I can’t wait for this class!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win the class for free
I just finished my degree and beginning my job search for a respiratory therapy position. I promised myself when I got out of all-consuming school, I would reward myself with lots of art time and this subject captured my attention right away. I think a health care princess may be in the making, complete with scrubs and stethoscope! 🙂

This is not only about having fun, learning from all the awesome teachers but it is about rediscovering myself. Thank you for considering me

Fairytales and learning from 12 talented instructors!….what a great opportunity this would be to participate in this class! I would love to win a spot in the Ever After class.
I would love an opportunity to win a place in Ever After. I am still a bit of a newbie, but i am loving making and creating beautiful things. I’d especially love help creating my own style. And fairy tales are just awesome!
Taking a trip and losing myself in the land of ever-after would be dream come true!
It would be amazing to win and be part of such a fantastic workshop!!
Love your style of illustration and can’t wait to take the class!
I’m so excited for this class having a life long love of fairy tales. Now that I am doing art I am excited to see what would come out of this.
i would love to have this opportunity to take this class
Being a guy and fall in love with art journaling and love to draw all those whimsical face. Proud to be this artistic world and I want to use this chance to share with the world that it is good for a guy to draw Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella. Would be awesome if I can win the place in ever after class. Thank you.
I have so many reasons why i want to do the Ever After Art Course, but the main one is: I am new to drawing, yes i turned 60 this year and have just started to learn drawing and art. I have to say i am in love with this kind of art, it brings childhood memories back, what better way than with Fairy Tails. I thank you for the opportunity to win one of the spots on this fantastic journey.
Ever After. Fairytale characters. The realm of imagination… How could one NOT want to win a spot in this class!? Sign me up! ^_^
To learn how to cultivate my own style, tap into my own imagination and share would be amazing… and of course the teachers in this course are off the hook amazing… Thank you so much for the opp to win a spot.. Good luck everyone
I would LOVE to win the opportunity to participate in this class!!
It looks like a total blast!
What a great theme for a class. I’d love to try it out.
Looking forward to this class! Cheers!!!!!
I have dedicated this year to studying and finding what works for me – Lifebook was my year long choice and this would be icing on the cake!
Hi Carla, thank you for this opportunity……..I would just love to win a spot to participate in “Ever After”. Who does not love fairy tales, and to learn how to develop my own style with the help of all those fantastic artists would be amazing.
I still love fairy tales and really enjoy adult versions with a twistvorctwo. That’s how I view this mixed media adventure and would love the opportunity to play along. Thank you!
what a great contest?! my fingers are crossed hoping i win a spot in ever after. thanks!
Everything I have had the opportunity to learn in art and mixed media has been somewhat of a fairytale for me. it is realizing a lifelong dream and what better way than to continue my studies with this course! I would love this opportunity! Also, I am very inspired by not only Tams amazing work but yours as well and am excited to check out your upcoming classes as well!
Wondrous fairytales and so many talented artists…
Why? Because for quite some time now, I feel I’ve lost my creativity and I’m struggling to get it back. Perhaps this would be a great help.
to enter a fairy tale world and get away from the worry of hubby’s bowel cancer and prostate problems and my own health issues would be such a relief for a while
Of course I’d like to win a free spot, but I’ll be there either way. Too good to miss.
Oh your art is so lovely. Thank you ever so much for the opportunity to win a spot.
I would love to be in this course because it’s full of exciting things!! Tam! And fairytales!!! Who wouldn’t want in?!
Thank you,
Christy
Winning a spot in this class would be like a fairytale come true!
How fun! Pick me.:)
I would love to create fairy tale characters to go with my fairy tale life!
This is so perfect! I’d be honoured to win a place in this course. It will help develop a unique style and expression and bring joy to others. Thank you so much.
I would love to win a spot as I love fairy tales and would love to learn more about developing a style
Such an amazing lineup… I would love to take the class and figure out my style and explore love of fairy tales.
I have loved the two online classes I’ve taken with Carla, both encouraging imaginary delightful animals from some previously hidden place in my mind! I have received such joy in each creature’s development and have used them in notecards, t-shirts and cards. I would love the opportunity to take the fairy tale class and would most assuredly share what I make with my toddler grandchildren! Thanks, Carla, for giving your class members their money’s worth and more.
I would love to win a place in this class. The fairy tales look fun, but the style class sounds really exciting to me! Thanks for this chance to win.
Another fairytailish action would be so nice.

thank you for the opportunity to win a spot! I think the teacher line up sounds amazing!!
thank you for this opportunity to win a spot in this amazing e-course. i would love to join this class beause i love to make art, but i find myself stuck in the point when you develop your own style… i would love to find my own unique style with the help of this amazing teachers 😉
thank you for this opportunity.
love, alenka
It would be wonderful to immerse myself into the magical world of imaginary beings and lands. Where improbable events lead to a happy ending…. The land of childhood and fantasies in artful expression. Thank you for the opportunity to win a chance to learn from so many admired teachers.
Hi Carla, I would love to win a spot in this class as I love the opportunity to learn different styles from unique artists. I am also especially drawn to the subject matter of this workshop due to its “twist” on a classic and of course face and body work which I favour. Lastly and more importantly, I think I will find additional benefit from module 2, since I believe that I am ready to master and develop my own style, which I struggle with. I am so grateful to you all for sharing your tips, wisdom and talent with us. Thanks so much for the chance. 😄
Yey! Such a great opportunity! I’m a total farytale-addict, so this class is made for me! ❤️
I love to visited fairytales and magical places 🙂 on my way to finding my style.
I would love to win because it could be the first time and especially because i love fairies!! And all the artists here!!
Having loved the year of the fairytale, I’d love more fairytale inspiration.
I would love to be inspired by such a range of fabulous teachers!
I love your classes so it would be great to win a spot in Ever After!
I would absolutely love to win a spot. I’m trying to find a way to develop my own style. I think that this workshop would help me do just that. And besides, I absolutely do love fairytales…they come true…they can happen to you….if you’re young at heart!
I wish spot in new workshop becouse I love mixed media projects and teachers like Tamara 🙂
I love fairytales very much, I have 3 children, so I read lot of tales every day. My Mom said when I was children (40 xears ago) I regret the Witch in Snowhite tale. I have a 100 years old book continuing the tale, which called “Snowwhite become mother” it is really interesting she had 2 children and they were stolen …. So I would be a lucky princess to win a free spot. Only the prince is missing.
Carla, I am so happy to see you on the staff for Ever After!!
What an exciting class it is going to be! Why, what little girl or boy doesn’t love fairy Tales? I always have and for Ever After will!
I have singed up for your newsletter and am keeping my fingers crossed! hugs,Jackie
I believe in happily ever after and want my story which did not start out merry to end with the wonderful fairytale happy ending. Pick me so they can live happily ever after!
I just love painting girls and have always loved fairy tales, so a course like this one is perfect – virtually tailor-made for me! Thanks for the opportunity to win a place, Carla 🙂
So exciting & looks phenomenal. Time for me to develop my personal style! Thx for the chance to win a spot 🙂
This looks like so much fun and such a great line up of teachers! Would love to explore the story-lines and archetypes within the myths and find more of my own stories and style. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a cool class and best of luck everyone 🙂
It looks so interesting. I love taking classes with Carla and the list of other instructors makes me happy.
Magic is everywhere you leave a spark. I would like to leave a spark while learning to make more Mixed media projects and inspire others to just follow your dreams.
I love fairy tales and it sounds like both of these classes would be perfect. I really want to get better at drawing and painting.
I have just recently stumbled across Tam’s Lifebook through Brave Girls club and I am loving it! Through her I have also joined some Effie Wild classes and Anne Hamm(?) classes. I have never done a blog hop before and I am having quite a good time learning about other artists out there – (my “Artists to Follow” list is growing too long and I am sure my inbox will overflow with all the newletters I’ve signed up for), but everyone is so talented and unique that I don’t want to exclude any opportunity to explore each one’s style. Thanks for this!
Well .. I m storyteller and would love to draw imaginary moments .. I m telling them to kids to give them an island of happiness . Working with refugees kids without language drawings are good heart openers .. I would love to join the group and save money to people who. Need it in their aid .. In 100% hope to win for good purpose
Love your art and many of the others…would love to win a spot!

Your intro video to fairy tale class got my creative juices flowing. My husband and I had a fairy tale wedding. We asked our guests to dress up in costumes and the wedding was held in a sea life center where walrus swam close the candelabras and the diving birds entertains the guests. This class would be a lovely way to incorporate our 20th anniversary into an art story…fairy tale…
I am excited with the chance to win…
