So excited for the giveaway. I shared on Pinterest and already subscribe to your newsletter. If I could be a fairy tale character I would want to be Alice in Wonderland because she has such an amazing adventure.
Hey Andrea, thanks for the giveaway ! ❤
If I could, I’d be Ariel because who doesn’t love mermaids? And as much as she craved the land, I’m craving something else too, so why not the ocean?
I think I might like to be Baba Yaga because she’s enigmatic and many-faceted
I would be Bell, because she loves to read and dream and knows her own mind. She doesn’t judge a book by its cover, after all she fell in love with a beast.
I saved to Pinterest and signed up for your newsletter.
At this moment in time I would choose to be Sleeping Beauty, I could do with sleeping for a 100 years, and being woken up by a handsome prince. I already receive your newsletter.
I shared this on my FB and I am already a subscriber of your newsletter! I think I would like to be Belle! She is independent, loves to read and she do see beyond the outside, she can see the real person within !
I’m so glad you are teaching this year ! Thank you for this amazing opportunity, my favorite fairly tale is the good witch from wizard of oz because she does good !! I already get your newsletter and shared and shared and shared on Facebook.
I have been with Ever After from the beginning and what a magical ride
it has been. I hate it will end but all things do. Thanks for all the
memories that have been made! My favorite fairy tale are any that have
that one bad character in it… It is so hard to pick one. But Alice in
Wonderland has to be one of my faves! Thanks for the opportunity to
win a spot. Have shared on FB and Twitter.
I would be Scheherazade because she was well read, clever and saved herself in the end. Shared on twitter and joined your list!
So looking forward to this round – so sad it will be the last one. I think I’d like to be Alice and take that strange trip into Wonderland! Shared and already a subscriber!
What an amazing line-up of artists who will be teaching! Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot. I’m on your newsletter and I shared the link via twitter. If I could be any character, I think I’d be Hermione Granger (although the Harry Potter story is not a “fairy tale”) .
sounds like a great learning experience with the added friendships, fun and fantasy.
Hi Andrea:-) I already subscribe to your newsletter and love your teaching style. I would love to win a spot in Ever After 2019. The fairy tale / fantasy character that symbolizes me is definitely Alice in Wonderland; I’m always falling down rabbit holes and seeking reality in the strangest of places, lol. I have shared on my Facebook account. Have a blessed day; peace 🙂
so exciting!! Thanks for letting us know!! Sharing on Twitter
Thank you for this lovely opportunity. I would love to be The Little Matchgirl, so that I could change her very sad ending by giving her/me the hope and strength to manifest a much better, affluent life 🙂
Beauty and the beast. I loved the musical version of this story….it all came to live!
I’ve always loved mermaids, so I’d like to be Ariel. The ocean is calling! Thank you
I think I would be Alice because she goes on an incredible adventure. I need some adventure.
Snow White…because who wouldn’t want to live in the forest with seven men and all the creatures that adore you for who you are and ask nothing more.
I would be Cinderella =) it is a beautiful story! I shared in twitter, already a subscriber
While I LOVED your Pippi Longstocking class (and the others!), my favorite fairytale is the Ever After movie version of Cinderella (with Drew Barrymore). I like strong but down to earth female characters who aren’t afraid to get dirty!
I am a mermaid girl so the Little Mermaid is my fav. Shared on FB thanks for the chance!
Iam so glad that you are teaching again! If I could be anyone…it would be Belle. She was so independent. As for your request: shared ✔, email✔
Looking forward to Ever After this summer! If I’d like to be Hermionie from Harry Potter. I love how strong, brave and smart she is.
Thanks for the giveaway. This would be a hard one for me as I love all fairytales. Sleeping Beauty was always my favourite growing up as a child but I also Love Mulan as she is a warrior.
Thank you so much for the chance to win! I would be Belle from Beauty and the Beast because she is smart, does her own thing, is true to herself and sees beyond to find beauty and truth in others. ❤️
I like the look of the teacher line up. A lot of potential for style development. Will be sad to see this course come to an end.
I would be Grandmother Goose if I had to choose a fairy tale character. Can’t wait for your lesson Andrea
I would be Alice, because her journey always seemed magical to me. It was a world of wonder in my childhood. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!
I would love to be Tinkerbell. Love fairies and the phrase Never grow Up is my catchphrase 😉
I would love to be Alice. I would love to fall down a rabbit hole and be in an alternate universe like she is full of craziness and imagination and be totally lost in it
I think I’d like to have Alice’s adventures.
Shared on twitter. Who would I be? hmmmm, if I’m allowed old folk tales I would probably be the cobbler in the story that tells of how our local hill came to be. He tricked the giant that was going to destroy the town, the giant dumped his weapon (a giant shovel full of dirt) and went home. I’d love to think I can use my wits in a similar way.
I shared on Pinterest. I would love to be the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland
All done! I think I was already getting your newsletter but did it again just in case haha! Love beauty and the beast lesson it’s one of my favourite films too (the original) – good luck everyone
How exciting!I just may be Snow White right now. It seems that animals love to speak to me and come nearby. Even in the forest, while on vacation last summer, out popped a deer and her 3 babies. They just stood there looking at me and the mom just walked on up and acted like I was one of them. Maybe she was sharing her new motherhood concerns 😉
Shared!! 🙂 (and ofc subbed!) I’m in love with Red Riding Hood, I just think she is so brave! 🙂 Thank you for a chance to win a spot!
I would want to be Cinderella’s fairy godmother. She gets to grant all those magical wishes.
I would be Alice in Wonderland as she meets so many amazing characters
Alice because I want to have a mad tea party with the Hatter
Thanks for the opportunity, Andrea! I would be The Beauty (The Beauty and the Beast) because she is so kind and lucky because she has little funny friends.
Alice, so I can have an adventure in Wonderland.
I would choose to be a witch. Whatever witch, but I would probably tweak the story a bit, i guess that is what witches do…
What a great giveaway question! I would like to be Vrouw (Frau) Holle. When I was a little girl I had a fairy tale book with this story. It was my favorite! I have always found this fairy tail so magical. In fact in the first Ever After course I made a painting of Vrouw Holle. I would love to see your take on it, Andrea!
Thanks for making this possible. I think i would be a unicorn, a dragon or a witch.
So pleased you’re back for this year’s Ever After Andrea. Thanks for the chance to win a place. I would like to be Sleeping Beauty. Shared on fb and I already receive your newsletter
I would love to be Cinderella and live in a castle
Shared on FB and already subscribed to your newsletter.If i could be a fairy tale character, i would want to be the fairy godmother, so i can make dreams come true!!!
I would be Rapunzel. I feel as if I have been locked away as an artist waiting to be rescued so I can see the world and express myself through art.
Done, done and I’d love to be Glinda from Wizard of Oz, it would be so much fun granting wishes.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a space. Your artwork is simply AMAZING. There are so many beautiful fairytales but I’ve always been drawn to Maleficent. It just shows that any person can change if they set their mind to it and that you don’t need to turn into a dragon if you ever got hurt in your life. I’m holding thumbs for a space and thank you again for the wonderful opportunity. Much love from South Africa 🙂
I would be Belle, because she is a princess and loves to read! She’s my favorite.
I would be Belle…but also could go with Ariel or Tinkerbell…Belle is the more realistic choice, but being a mermaid or pixie would be so cool!
if I could be a fairytale character it would be sleeping beauty because I love my bed ❤️ Sleeping is one of my favourite activities.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I would be Thumblina because I could live inside a beautiful flower.
I would be Maleficent. I love her strength and her discovering what true love is
I can’t say I’d actually want to be a fairytale character, but let’s say the ambiguous, shape shifting, old crone because then I’d be wise, not take or give a crap, and I’d be magical! Newsletter and FB share, done! Thanks for the chance 😉
This is exciting. I would be the Princess…in the Princess and the pea. I love all her mattresses.
I would be Tinkerbell as I get to fly all over and I can have lots of adventures.
Would love to win a spot on Ever After! If I were a fairytale character I’d like to be the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland, as he seems mysterious, but wise.
Alice in wonderland.
To be a fairy tale character….hmmm. While I do like Cinderella, I think I would go with Maleficent (Angelina Jolie version). She is so strong and definitely knows how to get things done. Plus, she has some kick-ass wings! *shared on twitter and signed up for newsletter*
I would be little red riding hood
Thank you for this chance to win this Giveaway!
I would be Cinderella because she overcomes the evil step sisters. I love when good wins over evil!
This is exciting, sharing on Facebook. I would like to be Santa Claus, not technically a fairy tale character, but the ability to spread joy around the world.
I’d love an opportunity to win a spot in Ever After. Cinderella is my favorite because she was able to triumph over evil stepsisters. I am on your NL list and love to hear from you!
I’m so happy your back Andrea! My first with you was beauty and the best! It was difficult but I look at it now and think wow that wasn’t to bad! I thought I’d signed up for your newsletter long ago before your wedding even! But I did it again!!! Will share on Facebook & Instagram! I’ll try of Twitter not on pinteust but I may join for this! Looking forward again to Ever After ’19. I’ve not kissed on yet, but haven’t won a spot ever! Still it’s an amazing experience!❣️❣️
I want to be Peter Pan (never grow up!)
Have shared on my facebook. Wow if I could be just one character from either a fairytale/kids story …hmm that’s so hard but I would have to be Esmerelda from Hunchback of Notre dame. I love her spirit and her heart of gold. she inspires be to be better person andspeak out against injustice!
I would like to be Snow White, living in a forest is my dream home.
I would be the frog princess. the female version of the original Frog Prince. I grew up with this story and I am also a long term Neil Diamond fan. He writes about this in “I am I said”. It has resonated with me ever since I first heard that.
I would choose to be Toothless in How to Train a Dragon because he eventually goes to the lost dragon world and saves the dragons.
I love giveaways! I have shared on pinterest! If I could be any fairytale character, I would choose to be The Paperbag Princess. She is a smart and independant woman.
Shared on Twitter & I think I’m already signed up for your newsletter. I think I’d be the ugly duckling as I think it’s a story about accepting your creative nature even when people around you don’t understand.
I
would love to be Pippi Longstocking because she is strong & fearless. Thank
you so much for the opportunity to win a spot in this awesome Art course.
(shared on FB, twitter & Pinterest)

I would be Ariel so I could be a mermaid
Alice because it would be such a wild adventure with all other characters in that story.

I’d be Alice! What an adventure she had!
I shared on pinterest and signed up for your newsletter. I’d have to go with Belle because of her love of books and being out of sync with the mainstream.

If I could, I would be the boy in Hans Christian Andersons fairy tale the angle. I love how he loves his rose.
I love so many fairy tale characters that it’s hard to choose just one, but if I had to choose one I would probably choose Belle.
Shared on Pinterest. New subscriber to your newsletter. I would be sleeping beauty, long nap then a handsome prince.
I’d like to be the big bad wolf, so much mischief!
I am not sure if Tinkerbell counts as a fairytale character…. But Tinks is my choice… Cos she is a fairy first off and secondly have you seen how hot she is?? 🙂

Shared to facebook and already a newsletter subscriber. I fancy myself a bit of a Peter Pan. No growing up for me!
Hi Andrea, shared this post on Facebook; thanks for the chance to win a spot. Although she technically isn’t a fairytale character, I would definitely be Merida from the movie Brave, as I have curly red hair like her, and I love her feistiness and self-confidence.
PS. I am having a lot of trouble signing up to your newsletter; it keeps saying ‘ooops, something went wrong’, but I will keep trying!
I shared on FB and I’m already subscribed to your newsletter. Cinderella is my favorite fairytale so I guess I would choose Cinderella because it’s all about the shoes.
Merida … I love her horse! 🙂
I would be Thumbelina because I’m short and I can relate to that 🙂
Tweeted and shared on FB. Subscribed. If I could be ONE character, who would I be? The ugly Duckling, for the growth and learning
How exciting that you’ll be teaching again this year! It’s so hard to pick one of the fairytales! But I think I would pick Belle. When the movie came out years ago, I was just in awe of the beauty of the movie and the story. The first time a fairytale made me cry! I already subscribe to your newsletter. And will be happy to share. Thank you for the chance to win.
I would love to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I love her independence and her will to keep trying and to keep going. I have shared on Facebook and am already subscribed to the Newsletter
Thank you for this opportunity, Andrea.I would love to be around the Lady of the Lake, in Avalon…
I was already a member of your newsletter, so I shared twitter, facebook and Pinterest. So who would I choose to be? I know who I am, I am Cinderella complete with the two ugly step sisters, but if I could be anyone I’d choose Belle from Beauty and the beast! Imagine being given that huge library all to yourself and a talking teapot!!
thanks for the chance. i would be Belle from beauty and the beast because i have always belived its whats inside you that counts. ilove that story. hugs x x x
I think I would like to be Cinderella!
I would be one of the Good Fairies – like in Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella. I want to fly about doing good and blessing people!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win a spot, Andrea. <3This is hard, but I would be Cinderella’s fairy godmother because I would have everything I needed to help humanity and myself.
I have a hard time deciding, but I think I would love to be Belle. I love how she didn’t quite fit in with all the other townspeople, as I didn’t fit in with the children in my childhood. Belle loved to read, and that is something I did nonstop since I was able to read. I often wonder if my poor eyesight has anything to do with the fact tht I would read under the covers with a flashlight at night! I also love how she was truly devoted to her father, because for me family is everything. And what an adventure she had in the castle! So fun seeing all the inanimate objects come to life. And of course, most of all, I love her heart. She loves for what is within a person/animal. The outward appearance has no importance to her, as is proven with the Beast. I love her determination and unselfishness, and how she put others before herself, yet still stayed true to herself. And of course, a happy ending is always a good thing! I tend to live in a fairytale world anyhow, moving through my days with my mind in stories and places I have created in my mind. It’s really quite a lovely place to be!
Shared the post on Pinterest, already subscriber. My favorite character right now is Belle, strong and yet feminine.
Shared and joined!! I’d pick Alice, my favorite!
I think I would love to be Belle. Thank you for this opportunity. I’m glad I found you through this blog hop as I’m always interested in seeing mixed media artists and their work.
Thank you for the opportunity to win a space. I just love the little Mermaid, Malifecent and Beauty and the Beast. Winning a space would literally be a life saver for me. Crossing fingers and toes. Much love from South Africa. Xxx
Alice in wonder land and would be delight to win.
Thank you for a chance to win!! I’ve shared on Pinterest and subscribed. I love your work by the way and you made me fall in love with watercolors a few years ago! If I were a character I would be Alice (in wonderland) I feel a strong connection with her attitude and how she takes in the lessons of life, how she speaks her mind and doesn’t let other bring her down while at the same time helps everyone she can
If I could be one fairy tale character it would be Sleeping Beauty. I have always loved her and her story!
I would be Alice and would have many adventures in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland – I love a good adventure!
I’m so excited about this opportunity…what an amazing gift anyone can receive. To be taught by all these amazing artists..wow. I’m feeling very positive that whoever receives this spot will enjoy the classes tremendously. I know I would. As I have an 8-year-old daughter, we would be able to use this as bonding time and learn about all the Fairy Tales she loves. Although our financial situation is a disaster at the moment, we would definitely make the best of this opportunity. Crossing fingers and toes. Sending much love from South Africa xxx
I would love to be chosen to win a spot on Ever After 2019, I had not heard of this until last year and sadly it will be the last one. If I could be a character in a fairy tail I would like to be a flying dragon that blows good wishes on all the bad people and changes them to good people.
