Here Are 3 Creative Gifts That Will Make Anyone Joyful And Happy.

Hi, Creative Friends-

The Holidays are in full swing and if you are a bit like me can be hard to find a meaningful gift for everyone on the holiday list! Speaking of gifts, don’t forget to “Sign Up For the Create & Change Newsletter Here.” I will be doing a giveaway in December and everyone on the newsletter list will be entered to win a beautiful one-of-a-kind watercolor!

Now, let’s chat about…

3 Creative Gift Ideas That Will Make Anyone Joyful And Happy…

  1. Log On And Gift Away: Molly Wlik’s virtual pastry classes can help anyone learn the basics of French pastry! She teaches her classes from her apartment in Versailles, France, and the classes couldn’t be any sweeter! You can grab a gift certificate from her website or buy her amazing “French Pastry Made Easy” cookbook! I’m personally looking forward to the Bûche de Nöel cake class coming up in December. The gift of learning could never be so joyful or delicious!

  2. Creative Curious: Do you have someone on your holiday list that wants to make and create but doesn’t know where to start? Try gifting a subscription to Skillshare, the online learning platform for all levels of creative curiosity. Skillshare provides short lessons on everything from watercolor to storytelling!

  3. Wrap Up A Puzzle: Make brains happy this season by gifting a super cool jigsaw puzzle from Society 6 like this adorable “Season’s Eatings” or “Owl’s Holiday” artwork. Each supports an artist and can make anyone have a Happy Holiday!

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or what creative gift you will be giving this year.

Also, thanks for reading along. This newsletter takes some time to pull together. Consider showing your support by forwarding it to someone who might need some inspiration or buying some of my artwork at INPRNT or Society 6.

Keep going, creative friends!

If there are questions why STEAM is important, check out this post from last week: "How To Use Candy To Expand Your Grey Matter." In short, STEAM is about giving kids tools to create and experience learning like a kid.
