The Perfect Gift for the Creative Person on your list

Do you have a creative or artistic person on your gift list for the holidays? Or, do you have an inner artist waiting to express her/himself inside YOU? Sometimes you just have to write or draw, and it makes you so relaxed, and filled with the joy you used to have as a kid when you were doing a project in school. So here's my idea for you.

I have these wonderful organic, fairtrade reusable shopping bags – with non-toxic fabric paint pens. Give the gift to your artist, and you may be lucky enough to get one of the bags back as a gift! AND they're on Sale for the holidays!

If you are the artist, or creative person, consider decorating and personalizing bags for your friends for an original gift idea that is REALLY from you! Enjoy yourself – or work on a project with your children, grandchildren… WHOEVER!

Inspirational Quotes

Posted on November 21, 2011 by lianda

I've seen so many people use their computer, or even print by hand an inspirational quote that they love. Then they stick it up with tape, or a thumbtack! It reminds and motivates them to live up to those words. They take those words and put them in a place where they will be seen daily. There's hardly a house you'll walk into that doesn't have something that's written: some text- a house blessing, a prayer, a family motto. Do YOU have a quote you love by your desk or maybe on your refrigerator?

People love seeing their names written in fancy writing. With all the computer fonts available, calligraphy STILL stands out for it's originality and beauty. If you have someone that you are always stumpted to find a perfect gift, think about the words they use.. Consider a quote that they would like. It can be framed and put on their desk, or on their wall. It can even be made into a tiny card to put in their wallet… a blessing maybe?

You are only limited by your own imagination-

And remember, getting an inspirational quote for the one you love may mean getting it for YOURSELF! You deserve it!

Holiday Calligraphy Gift Ideas

A Gift that EVERYONE Loves!

People love to see their name in "fancy writing" or beautiful calligraphy. I've been to lots of homes and seen hand calligraphy wedding invitation envelopes held up with magnets on their refrigerator doors! Even with computer fonts that "look like" calligraphy, people can still tell the difference between the printed computer lettering and real handwritten calligraphy.

So, when you are looking for a unique gift idea for someone special, consider how long the gift of a handwritten poem, quote or other calligraphy gift will continue to please your recipient. And give yourself a gift! Don't YOU have a special quote – maybe an inspirational or motivational quote that you have on the wall near your desk. Get something that reminds you of what's important in life! When it's written in hand done calligraphy, you will not only be able to read it, but have "Words To Live By".

I have many choices of already done calligraphy quotes that can be personalized with your recipients name as well as yours. It's a lower cost alternative to custom calligraphy. Look in my store to see examples. Remember, the holidays are coming up!
