Christmas Gift Options

 If you are interested in a giveaway for a copy of my book

Tangle Starts,

my friend Jennifer McLean is hosting a giveaway on her blog 

Just Add Water Silly. 

You can read the post and enter by going to this link. 

There is one more day in the giveaway.

You can read more about my book on Amazon.

This particular piece of art is not in the book,

but there are similar pages.

Backgrounds without the tangling, I added that part.

This is an example of one way you can use the book.

Christmas will be here before you know it.

I have 137 items in the Christmas Gift section

of my Etsy store TheCreatorsLeaf. 

With priority shipping you can have them in your hands within a couple days. 

Above you see one example of a kit I have listed here. 

This is one of my favorite items in the shop.

A set of 23 unique substrates for you to draw or tangle on. 

The color work has already been done for you. 

You can see this set here. 

Christmas shopping can be as easy as checking out

these two links:

find my book Tangle Starts here and

Gift Sets for the artist in you life can be found here. 

And remember - there is one day left in Jennifer's giveaway here. 

Have a great weekend!

Huge Christmas Sale in My Etsy Store

 The Creator's Leaf on Etsy 

is where I am trying to make Christmas happen!

(You can just click that pink link and go straight

I want it to go to someone who will love it!

 This kids' set has been very popular the past couple years,

My resource for getting these books at cost has dried up,

so when these are gone - that's it.

That instruction book is the same one I refer to 

over and over again.

The supply bag holds tiles and the tools to draw with.

Reduced to $14.99.

 I have a lot of gift sets ready to stuff a stocking

Peerless transparent watercolors.

You literally touch the wet tip of a brush to these little

swatches of paper and it picks up the color.

larger piece of art, if you want.

or you can use them individually.

A great stocking stuffer idea!

I don't make pitches like this often -

I bet you're glad!

I just really wanted to show a sampling of what

I have in my store.

All total there are 146 active listings for art items

such as what you see in this post.

Most items ship priority, which means they can be

to you in just a few days.

Prices seem too high?

Just ask.

And if you don't see what you want -

just ask. I might have it in the closet.

Merry Christmas, all!

Stocking Stuffers and Gifts in My Etsy Store

 The holidays are upon us and Christmas will be here

before you know it! In fact it's just 6 weeks away. 

This year I have added an entire section to my Etsy store - 

TheCreatorsLeaf - 

just for Christmas and stocking stuffer items. 

And I apologize right now for the photo heavy post.

I wanted to show you just a sampling of the items that are available. 

There are several different types of art journals listed, more than what you see here. 

Both hand-made and straight off the shelves.

And marked down to make the Christmas shopping not so painful.

 I've spent a good bit of time this year getting tile sets ready for 

Christmas gift giving.

(Or maybe you aren't looking for a gift, but want some tiles for yourself.)

I'm your girl!

I have 15 sets like the one you see above.

A little sampling of 6 different size tiles.

I used a variety of art media to add color to plain white tiles. 

Each set is different, this is just to give you an idea of what you will receive. 

 Some tiles are the official Zentangle tiles straight from the company - 

like this set of pre-strung 3Z tiles ready for the tangles to be added. 

There are other sets in the store. 

 I have a lot of tiles available in various sizes. 

 Included are several sets of 9 tiles - 3.5" size -

that have been sprayed with Dylusions Inks through stencils 

to create beautiful ensembles.

Don't worry, I numbered the backs so you can put

the puzzle back together. 

 I have several sets of the Bijou - twinchie size - tiles as well. 

Perfect size for a stocking stuffer!

Plus 11 sets of twinchies I punched, then colored.

There are a total of ten in each set.

When they are gone, they will be gone. 

 I have a lot of sets of books - in a range of art topics. 

 Some of them are because I have multiple copies.

 All the books are in new condition,

no rejects or used copies here. 

I don't do business that way. 

This particular set is a really great one!

And priced to move.

 One of the things I enjoy the most about Christmas,

is shopping at Hobby Lobby for these cute little

ornamental boxes, then putting together tangling kits

that go with you from room to room, or just to the sofa in front of the TV.

 Pen sets are popular and I've sold several today already. 

 This particular tin has a beautiful horse on the lid.

 I've never shamelessly posted about my sales before,

but why not. I need this stuff to go to make room for other projects.

And you get great prices because of that. 

 There are even more kits in the store. 

This is a one of a kind set with the oriental papers

and tapes. I will be putting more together,

but this will be the only one with the origami paper.

 I even have some pieces of original artwork 

in the store. 

The store is organized into sections,

with the Christmas section being the largest.

Be sure to look at all the items though,

because what you want might just be posted

in another area. 

And I will be adding even more items in the next couple days.

If you have any questions, just pop me a seller question at the links. 

I will be glad to answer any question you have.

And, if you don't see what you want, just ask.

Here is the link again, the shop is called

TheCreatorsLeaf. 

And thank you so much for looking.
