Holiday Gift Packs Disappear after December 5 ~ Free Cards Winner

Holiday Gift Packs are available
ONLY THROUGH December 5
in the Online Shop
in 3 sizes: $39, $59, $89
guaranteed to cross at least 2 people off your list, if you plan to give simply and love lavishly :)

I went Christmas shopping yesterday ~ and though I loved the time spent with my mother and sister, I just can't seem to relate to the buy-buy-buy that I see happening all around me (and it is bound to get worse as the holidays approach).

Myself, I'm trying to do much of my shopping from sources featuring handmade items, and local, too. But most importantly, I am not doing much shopping. I plan to give simply and share time and love more than items.

This season gets me thinking of how I can buy less & buy smarter. Thinking quality over quantity ~ I remember the value of giving one or two small thoughtful gifts vs. big gifts that strive to impress (do expensive gifts really show our love? I think not.)

It's even better when those thoughtful gifts serve a purpose, or fill a need.

One of my main reasons for offering the above packages is their ability to provide multiple gifts in one fell swoop. And at a lower price than buying items from the Shop separately.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will certainly try to accommodate special requests if I can.

The whole buy-buy-buy mentality drives me nutty. Does this go against being an artist who creates from-the-heart artwork to share?
It doesn't.
I support, and my business supports, heart-initiated purchases. Especially handmade, especially local, and especially from someone you know, like and trust.



The Free Cards Winner for last week is: Amber! Thank you all.

Let's do it again this friday!

Wishing you a day full of Possibilities

Thoughtful Gifts to Serve A Purpose

This season fills my mind with thoughts of how I can buy less & buy smarter. Thinking quality over quantity ~ I remember the value of giving one or two small thoughtful gifts vs. gifts that strive to impress (do expensive gifts really show our love? I think not.)

It's even better when those thoughtful gifts serve a purpose, or fill a need.I've paired my personal philosophy with my art to offer easy ways to achieve several thoughtful gifts in one package (and save $).

And these thoughtful gifts DO serve a purpose ~ if you need proof

When I'm asked to buy with motivation of guilt and claims of products improving lives, I rebel and run. The whole sell-sell process drives me batty. Does this go against being an artist who creates from-the-heart artwork to share?
It doesn't.
I support, and my business accepts, heart-initiated purchases. Especially handmade, especially local, and especially from someone you know, like and trust.
