Laurie sounds like a very interesting person….would love a copy of her book!
Another great artist you have introduced to us.
Got my fingers crossed! It would be a nice birthday present for myself.
I would be thrilled to receive a free copy of Laurie Rosenwald’s book – how to Make Mistakes on Purpose. I have a need to me more spontaneous when creating art pieces and I believe I could learn a lot from her methods.
The class looks great! Would love to win the book!
Think we all know how to make unintentional mistakes, so think we could all do with a book to make them acceptable lol! Great title and looks like a book to dive into, would love to be in the drawing for it, thank you! Looks like another exciting class ❤️
Awesome thank you!
Thank you for this giveaway and the class to tap into the mind of this creative artist. Especially love the title of the session – 100% imperfect!
This looks like a fantastic class! If I don’t win Laurie’s book I will buy it🤣 Thanks for providing such exciting opportunities to learn.
Sounds like fun!!
omg this would be amazing to win. i love her work and took the 1 day workshop at aiga nyc years ago – but – we’re not supposed to talk about it!! 😉 very excited to see her book and class.
Dear Carla, Great promo! Looks like great fun, too! Cheers, Genie

I looked at her website after I read about her upcoming class and thought that I need one of her books. Who knew I’d have a chance to win one?
This looks like an amazing book!
You have the most interesting instructors. Thanks for a great giveaway! Art books are awesome!!!
I love her style!! Another awesome class I will have to join!✨
Hi Carla,
The class with Laurie looks really amazing and so does her book. I am really hoping you pick me to win this prize. I am having a lot of fun with Scrapbook Revival at present and gaining lots of inspiration, thank you so much for supporting and teaching on it.
Warm wishes,
Gaye
That looks fascinating.
Hi… would love to read Laurie’s book!
Awesome opportunity~ Book sounds interesting!
Hi Carla, What an incredible class this will be. Thank you for the chance to win Laurie Rosenwald’s book! Cheers-
Yes! I love mistakes on purpose! What a great title. 💓🤞🏼
Wow! This looks like a fun class and a great book! My fingers are crossed for one making it to my mailbox!! Wouldn’t that be my lucky day🤞🏼!
This looks like a really dynamic, fun way of creating art! Thanks for the opportunity, C x
Zany, joyful, bold art… love it and her blue hair. 4/4/44 birthday and I would love the book as a present!
Always so scared to make mistakes. I love to learn to make mistakes on purpose and silence that inner critic!
Carla, you put on the most inspiring and fun classes. It would
be so cool to win this book❣️
Great book title! Thank you for making this giveaway possible.
What a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity
Oh yesss!
This sounds like a great book to work with!
Really, on purpose? What a great idea! I´m in.
Is it really a mistake, if it’s on purpose? What a fabulous title. I would love to win a copy to add to my collection of oks about making mistakes. (Whoops! That should say books 😁). ❤️❤️❤️
I’m not sure if I’ve entered this correctly. A mistake perhaps??? 😁
oh, I’ve heard about the book – I would like to see more from her work and ideas in the book … (and it was the first time that I see that you have also a blog, Carla, sorry)
Oh how exciting! I will have to take her class of course 🙂 i loved her contribution do last year’s class and her fast way of working! and her observation that she is having more fun than most! Definitely would love a piece of that and her book!
Would love to have it! But I think, it costs as much as the book itself to send it to Germany. In case the little lottery-fairy gives it to me, Please send it to my friend Paige in Cape May!
Oooooooh
As a recovering perfectionist, I know that my antidote to stay on the “good side” is to intentionally aim for imperfections and messy-ness. This inside came from Carla’s classes, in particular the Artist’s book and the cute little crayon lions.
I’d love to dig in deeper with this book ❤️❤️
Mistrakes ???? Horrors!!! Need help!!!

Wouldn’t it be great to win this give away. The book must be the ideal book for a perfectionist as I am
What a lovely title! Would be thrilled to receive the book. Thanks 🌸🪔
I make a lot of mistakes just as it is – would be fun if they were all on purpose:D
Love all of this!
I am curious
but, first of all, finish another class 😉
Every time I’m all like, “Okay, that’s enough with the classes; you should probably lay off for a little while”, y’all drop another one and that idea just goes straight out the window. This looks fantastic.
Also, I may be just a little bit in love with her blue hair. I’m just saying.
The class looks absolutely DELIGHTFUL! I’ll bet the book is terrific too. Im so amazed by all the talent I see online and am grateful to be able to participate.
Both the book and the class look very interesting!
Art/creativity books are my kryptonite and this one looks like a hoot! As a recovering perfectionist I need constant reminding that it’s ok to make mistakes.
This class looks AMAZING and so does this BOOK! Thanks for the opportunity to win it.
This book looks interesting!
Oh No! Another class I really need to follow! 😀
Wow this class looks like so much fun! I would love to win the book.
I’m fascinated by the notion of making mistakes on purpose. Would be great to win this book but either way it’s going on my list of books to read.
This is a fun approach to art! It’s like making lemonade from life’s lemons. 😋
Sonheim Creative finds the most interesting teachers and unusual classes. I have really enjoyed your courses over the years. Thank you!
Hi Carla…I am always striving to loosen up and create more freely. I like being reminded to make mistakes and keep going! This will be a good class for me! Thanks for all of your classes!
I don’t think any artist can hear this message enough…mistakes, failures are a necessary part of the creative process (and life). I sure can’t.
I love her style and approach to art and illustration. Thank you ❤
Just signed up for the class with Laurie—it looks amazing and right up my alley! Thanks for the opportunity to win her book, too.
Great idea
What a generous and exciting giveaway! Mistakes can make precious memories, but on purpose, WoW, how fun! Would treasure a book from Laurie….looks like such a fun class.
I love Laurie’s process – crazy and free!! Wonderful she has a new book out. All I can say is Yippee!
Wow! Congratulations to Laurie! Thank you for this giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! Looks like a great book and class!
Hi ~ I’d love to know how to make mistakes on purpose. 🙂 Cheers
I always try to get it right. I’d love to know how to make mistakes on purpose!
What a cool person and book!
“Peeked inside” on Amazon, hope I win a copy!! If not I’ll be buying it!! 🙂
I loved her session for the year long class last year. She’s such a creative force of inspiration!✨💜✨
The book and author look like great fun!
Thank you Carla and Steve.
I love that this celebrates mistakes. Sounds like a wonderful book.
This looks like the perfect antidote to that loud Inner Critic who fuels my Imposter Syndrome. More embracing of mistakes? Yes, please!
Ooh! Would love to have a copy of Laurie’s new book! 🙂 What fun! Good luck everyone!
Exciting new book!! Looks like a great new class!!!!
A mistake is an opportunity to move in another direction
I could benefit from this. Thanks for all you do, Carla, for inspiration in the art world. I LOVE your work.
Looks like a great book! Thank you for the chance to obtain one!
Thank you Carla for this wonderful opportunity! I would love learn from her!! 😊
Making mistakes on purpose…👍🏼
Thanks for giving me another reason to go to the bookstore! And thanks for your classes and posts. Your work keeps me smiling!!!
Thank you Carla for the opportunity to get the book this way! I was very much impressed by Laurie’s lesson last year, and her creative process! I have adopted two of the things she said, a) quick and sloppy and … b) too late to die young now! 😀
This looks like a lot of fun!
I’m definitely taking the class! Also, would love to win a book! Thanks, Carla. Your classes are always top-notch.
I am Laurie’s newest fan!! love the looks of this class – and think I need to do some serious cleaning in my studio before enrolling, so that I have room for all the goodies that will be made!!
I make many mistakes, I have a lot of chaos around … but never done that on purpose – so I need that book to learn about it ;-))
Oeh, yes please!
Wow! Mistakes ON PURPOSE !!! That’ll be a change. I make plenty of the other kind.
Always glad to hear news from you, Carla. Am in the midst of Sketchbook Revival and found the quick zoom portraits to be my favorite so far, and this is day 12. Looking forward to learning about this new class and taking more from you. I have made so many wonderful books from the Henrik Drescher class. Thanks, as always! Melissa
Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
Really love the title of the book and I am very curious about her approach! Would love to read it! Also thinking about signing up… 😉
Creative regards and best of luck!
Sandra J.
I LOVE the title of the book, AND always love finding out about new artists and approaches for creating! Thanks Carla
I’d love to get some order in my chaos with this book.
Oh this title sounds so interesting! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the book!
that is a great way of looking at things that in the past we all categorize these mistakes as failures. Looking forward to learning about what she says in her book.
Mister Random meets Mrs. Coincidence: Will you marry me?
She answered: Oh, what a surprise!
Looking forward to the class. And it would be wonderful to win the book.
Looks like a fun class! Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!
Oh how I would LOVE to win a copy of this book!
🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤
Mistakes are the way to create original art!
Making mistakes and being okay with them
something I’ve been trying to work on!
How up grading the human brain!! I could really use that. Congrats on the new book.
