Wow, Danita, I love your paintings in this post, and would love to be able to create works of art like yours. Ever After looks like an amazing course.
I love so many fairytales, but two of my faves are Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz.
I am so thrilled to find you and your website. I love your artwork! It has an “other worldly” kind of feel. It is so inspiring. And it lends itself to the magic of fairytales. Gosh! I hope I win a spot in the Ever After class!
I’m so happy to meet you! I love your art!! I would love to win a spot in Ever After because I love learning from different artists, while developing my own style through each lesson.
P.S. I didn’t see any media share icons, so I just shared a link to this post both on Facebook and Twitter, as well as signing up for your newsletter.
Thank you!
well, phooey . . I don’t see where to leave a comment – and – I REALLY want to comment – BECAUSE – I’ve never seen your work before . . and it’s SUPER. Besides, you are displaying lots of Alice in Wonderland art . . . (favorite, favorite . . favorite) – And – here’s the coolest part. I took Ever After last year and enjoyed it – so, I’ve been looking for this year – and now, look!!! YOU are going to share with us . . especially Alice in Wonderland .
color me happy.
Yippeee! . .
Thank You!
I am a wildlife artist in Kenya. I love to create and I would really like to develope my own whimsical style with the guidance of so many talented artists.
Thank you for this opportunity! I’ve shared this and signed up for your newsletter (and read some of your other blog posts!). I’d love to be part of Ever After as I’m a mama working on getting some mama time to rejuvenate and I’m finding art is the best mode for me. I am feeling so inspired by Tam’s work and all the blogs I’m visiting through this blog hop and would love to learn some of the beautiful techniques you use in your artwork. 🙂
This course looks like it’s going to be great and I’m so happy you’ll be a part of it! I’m working to find my style and it’s always so informative to hear from other artists. Thanks for the chance to win a spot!
I love fairy tales and the artists that will be teaching. I’m also very interested in the style development course. It would be a dream to join!
I would absolutely love to win a spot on the Ever After 2017 class, I would like to have something that is just for. Myself and feel like a creative outlet is just the thing, I live all the different styles that Tamara has pulled. Together toake this a fun filled 4mnth class. Thankyou for the opportunity xx
Just loved mixed media and fairytales in the one class..Awesome! Thanks for the chance to win..
I am a little girl believing in fairy tales captured in an adult body! I love fairy tales. I have 3 beautiful grand daughters and I read to them all the time. I also love your style and would love to win a spot. Our currency was cut to junk not so long ago so I simply can not afford the exchange rate….. that is the only reason why I have not signed up yet 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity.
Amazing art work! I really loved being a part of Ever After last year and look forward to it this year as well. The real reason I’m signing up for the giveaway is because, other than wanting to be a part of it this year, money is tight and it would be awesome to win a spot. Thanks for the opportunity.
I think your art is wonderful and you give such inspiration to all your followers.
I would love to win the a spot in your EVER AFTER course – I would be so inspired to go on to create beautiful things

I would LOVE to win a spot in this class!!! ❤️ Thanks for the chance!! I have shared on FB and signed up for your newsletter also.
I would love to win a spot on this awesome course and be able to learn from so many teachers. Danita, Your art is wonderful. I love it!!!
I would love to win a spot in this fun course! All of the instructors look to be so much fun. I am and 42 year old mom of 3 (2 special needs). I stayed busy raising them and have always believed I had no artistic talent, then the last couple months ago I started seeing these art journals and wanted to try but felt unable due to my lack of “talent”. Then I started thinking that “Hey… I don’t know if I am artistic I have never really been exposed to art or had a class!” So here I am looking and dedicated to learning a new skill/talent! 🙂
Love your Alice and Cheshire Cat! Thanks for offering the free ticket to this – it looks like it’s going to be amazing!
Would love to win a spot this year because last year I had such a blast 🙂
thanks Danita! so glad to see you on this year’s lineup. I would be absolutely thrilled to win a spot to this class, I have been hoping they would do a new one since last year’s class….

Hey Jean! Great to see you here!! xx
Such a magical chance to walk in fairy land!
I love fairy tales and the layers of meaning within the story. Art would be another way of expanding my love of fairy tales!

Would love to take part in this cool class!
I love to create, but I’m busy with 3 jobs so I don’t always have the energy to think of new subjects. Online classes make it easy. I did ever after 2016 and loved it. Would love to be able to join this year and learn from wonderful teachers.
I really like your art and would l like to learn your methods. I enjoyed ever after 2016 and would love to join on with ever after 2017. Thank you.
I LOVE all the artists participating this year in Ever After and would be ecstatic if I won a spot. I adore your artwork, Danita, and would love the opportunity to learn from you 🙂

The Ever After classes look really wonderful. Can’t wait to join in and meet all the teachers. Your style of art is truly unique and I am looking forward to your class.
I have shared on facebook and signed up for your newsletter…I would love to win a spot in this class. My son has recently been DX with pancreas cancer and my life has turned upside down. Love your art…thank you for a chance
Your art is beautiful and it will be a pleasure to be part of Ever After. I still have a few lessons from last year so I’m on a mission to be done by July 1

Hi! I am here for the first time and I am WOWED! I love your work! Just that would be a valid reason to want to do Ever After…. I am on a journey of finding myself…and starting Lifebook in January I can’t deny how much it helps me to find my true self… This course seems to be a perfect addition to my discovery…
Thank you for the chance to win! Hugs from Holland!
Thank you for this opportunity! I’d live to win a spot on Ever After because I joined last year and it was just so much fun!
I would love to be a part of Ever After and get to take part in your lesson-I love Alice and all of her Wonderland friends!
Hi Danita! Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot in the class. I would like to take Ever After not only because I have always loved fairytales, but because as an artist, I like the idea of constantly evolving and trying new things and I know there is so much I can learn.
BTW, I love your art. It’s amazing.
I was really drawn to this course last year but lack of finances and confidence got in my way. Alice in Wonderland is great because it is magical but also shows the dangers of stepping out of the ordinary world. Much like art really. I would love to win this place to be able to go down the rabbit hole with you.
I loved the look of this course last year but didn’t join in.. it looks even more amazing this year!! I love fairytales
I love to read books and I love the deeper meaning and history of fairytales all over the world.
I love your artwork and would really like a chance at this giveaway. It is so kind of you to do this. Thank you
This is such an amazing opportunity! I’ve only just discovered the world of online classes, I’ve always been to anxious to attend in person due to mobility issues.
I’ve been looking at all the artists involved and it just blows me away, I already feel inspired.
I didn’t know about ever after last year so it would be lovely to join this time round. I have adopted a little girl who has a few disabilities and so art is my time for me whilst allowing me to create things for her that she can look at in the future.
Your work is beautiful. I took part in Ever After last year so I look forward to the taking part this year hopefully this year I’ll hop myself into a freebee. How does on show it is shared on FB?
I took the Ever After 2016 course, and it was such an incredible experience! I’m very excited that it’s back this year, and can’t wait to get started!
WOW I WOULD LOVE TO WIN BECAUSE THIS COURSE LOOK LIKE GOING TO BE MAGICAL 🙂 ….. AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT FAIRYTALES AND WHIMSICAL,. 🙂
Still trying to find my own style. Would love to be a part of this class.
I want to take this class because fairy tale art makes me happy.
I love mixed media and fairy tales. I have always drawn them. Would love to win this. ❤
I love fairytales c and this sounds like a cool class to be a part of.
I’m looking to learn new techniques and find my own style.
I’ve retweeted on twitter and signed up for your newsletter. I would love to join Ever After because I really want to develop my own style and also because there are so many amazing teachers participating this year.
I never thought I would be the fairy tale type or whimsical type artist, now all I want to do is gather as many different methods and styles so I can find my own style. I would love learning from all the various artists, wow! such a wonderful range of styles all in one place! It’s like sweet candy goodness, not just visually but in movement and texture. Can’t wait to see who wins.
Oh, I’d love a chance to win this!! Thank you!
I missed Ever After last year, but I’m looking forward to it in 2017! It looks like an amazing group of teachers!
want to do this course because I love art, I love fairy tales and, above all, I love learning different techniques and teachings from people so creative and inspiring.
I really love fantasy and fairy tales. I think this would be the perfect course for me. I can honestly say that art and fantasy has both saved my life on many occasions. Also, your art is amazing! I’d love to learn from you. <3

I’d love to be a part of ever after. I’m 34 years old, but a big part of me is still living in fairy tales, but only in my mind. My intention is to start making these fairy tales alive, not just in my mind, and I believe this course will help me with it!
