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.
Back to the giveaway – the creative Christmas package includes a set of five premium brushes to enhance your painting experience.
To enter to win Danielle’s beautiful Christmas package, simply leave a comment below. I’ll announce the winner here on the blog next Monday.

Hi Jennifer, I’m so grateful for your friendship and loved our creative weekend in Chicago! Thank you for hosting this giveaway and sharing my artwork with your readers. Danielle xx
Just simply beautiful!
Her calendars are simple elegance!
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
sharing .

Beautiful Christmas package ! I want to participate. I love it. Greetings from El Salvador.
I’ve enjoyed reading your blog for quite some time. Learning to watercolor has been a dream so this giveaway would be so welcome.
Everything is so lovely. There is a sense of calm to each drawing…even a sail boat. Thank you for introducing us to this talented artist.

Dear Jennifer,
warm greetings from Berlin. And thanks for your inspiring blog posts, which I have been following with great pleasure for some time. I know that I probably won’t win anything, because I have never won before. But please pass on my respect to the artist for the delightful little works of art.
Yours sincerely, Barbara!
I. Love your watercolors. I follow your blog.
You are very gifted and inspiring.
Merry Christmas!
This set sounds delightful. I love that she and her husband both contribute to the lovely calendar. I bought watercolor paints but have yet to try them out….sounds like an adventure with her drawings !! Thanks.
Merry Christmas!!
beautiful Christmas package indeed
Danielle’s watercolors are beautiful. Someone will be lucky to win.
Love your blog! Finding it in my inbox is one of the best parts of my day!
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
I enjoy reading your blog and how you highlight other bloggers and creative people to show their unique style.
I like how some of the photos have a touch of the ocean in them. The December one with the lighthouse tugged at my heartstrings. We all need a calendar, so this is really functional, but it is also incredibly beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing, Jenn.
What a beautifully way to know the date! The artwork is so realistic in its simplicity! There’s such beauty in the humble watercolor. Just lovely 🎄
oh how I would enjoy this gift
Would be so excited to win ❤️
I have been following you both for a while. Such creativity. And i love that your share your personal sides too. Continue to motivate our creativity🩷🌺
Thank you for sharing your very informative posts for me to read. The ideas are the BEST and I enjoy every post. Your creativity and insight for design has influenced my decorative decisions often. I love to paint and would like be considered for a prize. It is very relaxing and the illustrations are very nice. Thank you and Happy Holidays 🎄🎄🎄
Love her work and her town.
I am lucky enough to live two towns over from Danielle and have met her a couple of times. She is lovely! And her artwork perfectly describes our coastal New England towns. I hope to take her classes soon.
Hi I just subscribed to your blog and I’m looking forward to reading about all things home!
What a wonderful Christmas give away..!
