A Creative Christmas Package for One of You!

Happy Monday and welcome to a wonderful opportunity to enter for a chance to win a beautiful gift pack from one of my favorite blogging friends – Danielle at Finding Silver Pennies. Many of you already know what a talented artist she is and I’m happy to announce that she’s agreed to give away a creative Christmas package to one of my blog readers! To enter for a chance to win, simply leave a comment at the end of this post. The winner will be announced next Monday, December 16th.

Included in the giveaway package is Danielle’s sweet desk calendar. I order one of these from her every year. She paints the images for each month in watercolor, and then creates reprints to sell.

Her husband Luke handcrafts the wooden stand that holds the monthly card in place. I have to confess, I love changing the month to see what artwork is next. I’ve also kept all of my calendars from Danielle because I can’t bear to part with her artwork. I’m going to figure out a way to repurpose them.

Also included in the creative Christmas package are paintable watercolor notecards! If you enjoy painting or want to learn how to paint with watercolors, this note set is for you! Danielle designs the outline and you get to fill it in with paint, however you want.

The paintable note cards include detailed instructions. I can’t wait to paint some of these myself! In addition to the items in this gift package giveaway, Danielle also creates notecards, tea towels, ornaments, and more. Visit her online shop to see what’s available.

You might notice a nature and coastal theme in Danielle’s artwork. She lives in Massachusetts and finds plenty of inspiration from her surroundings and daily life. Although we’ve followed each other’s blogs for years, we finally had the chance to meet in person when Danielle was leading a furniture painting presentation in Chicago. We roomed together for the event and I had the opportunity to share the city with Danielle, including a trip to the Bean at Millennium Park. I truly enjoyed her company and creative spirit.

  2. Oh my goodness I follow her blog and although I live in GA. my heart leans toward New England and all that goes with it -except the cold weather. I’m loving the way she recently showed pictures of her cute little truck with a Christmas tree in the back. Just the simplicity of all she does just adds to the beauty of it. Thanks for

  29. This was the perfect post for Christmas ideas. All the homes look beautiful. I also really enjoyed your post about a pink Christmas. I decided to do my dining room in pinks this year instead of my usual red and green. I am familiar with Danielles art. She is so very talented. We are trying to stay safe and warm here in Buffalo. Way to much snow already and it isn’t even winter yet. Happy holidays. Kim XOXO
