My 2022 Holiday Gift List
Friends, friends, friends…
December is here, and I'm still wondering what my family wants. Are you a last-minute shopper like me? OHMYGOSH… I know I should prepare more for the holidays, but even with my large family, I'm a last-minute shopper. What about you? Are you a prepper or a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants shopper?
Then there are the people that want to shop for you! I'm a great gift-giver, but I have the toughest time letting my family know what I want. Are you one who puts everyone else first?
So... this year, I thought I'd start my First Holiday Shopping Gift List. I'm hoping if I think of you fine folk instead of myself, I'll be able to come up with even more great items to share with you. (Then I'll have ideas to share with my family and friends too.)
{The list below includes links to affiliate websites. You can learn more HERE. You can be sure that everything that I'm sharing, has passed my LOVE IT test and I wouldn’t share it with you if I didn’t. I may receive commissions from purchases made through links in this article at no cost to you! Thanks for helping me enjoy a scrummy drink at my local coffee shop.}
Ok... here we go!
First up on my list, is the Instax Mini Printer. I’ve used my friend’s, and I LOVE the idea that I can print out photos of the little adventures I try to make happen in my community… and my kids. I also want to get started making more photo journals. I love the idea of adding photos to my art journals. A little bit of everything, you know! What’s great about the Instax printer is that you get to choose any of your photos from your phone. No more random trial and error you get from the point-and-shoot cameras of the 80s.
See… I really need one!
Do you do this? Fill in your pages, and make space for things later on?
I love this soft pink printer, which comes with 40 film sheets in this bundle.

Don’t forget to grab the bundle pack of film! I always love a good deal on a bundle pack.
Next up on the list are a few art supplies.
I love the Sakura Pen Touch fine-point permanent paint markers. They're fab for adding a splash of detail to your dark watercolor paintings, designs on black paper, or even to those newly acquired Instax photos... hint hint!
LOVE the copper pens!
It’s one of my favorite accent colors/metals.
You’ll need the gold and silver too!
And bonus… you get another copper pen.
Who doesn’t love florescent pens?
That pop and flash really make me happy! So just drop them in your bag.
Don’t forget your journals! I love love love the Stillman & Birn Delta Series Sketchbooks! The Delta series is a heavyweight for watercolors or other paintings you want to create. You can grab a couple sizes while you’re shopping.
I love the 5.5" x 3.5" size for on-the-go or less intimidating days.
Or grab the 8" x 10" for your larger sketchbook.
Go big!
Turn this Dot-grid journal into your photo travel journal! It offers premium acid-free paper to keep your memories for ages, along with journal stencils for that extra bit of help. I love things tidy, don't you?
The color choices make me swoon.
Bonus bonus… it’s a two pack!
With all these journals, you’ll need brushes+ pens! My all-time-favorites are from The Pigeon Letters. Peggy Dean has designed eco-conscious & cruelty-free brushes that are amazing to paint with. And… THE BEST monoline pens you could ask for.
Studio Round Brush Set - 5pc
Great for a bundle… remember, I love a bundle!
The Pigeon Letters Monoline Pens

Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint Set
With this set of acrylics you’ll be creating to your hearts content! Make those marks on the page with an abundance of color!
The Ultimate Flock
Last but not least, I want to share my FAVORITE COMMUNITY with you! I know you've heard me talk about it before, but I wouldn't be the entrepreneur I am today without all the valuable help from Peggy Dean's, The Flock.
This group of creatives supports each other. They encourage me to be the best that I can be artistically and as a human being. We laugh together and sometimes cry together. I've learned so much from everyone.
Peggy created a community of artists and resources that is MASSIVE! She shares everything she knows with us. As she says, "almost to the point of oversharing." She has the most relatable personality to guide us through our regular coaching calls. Peggy brings together a tremendous group of experts so we have the chance to ask all of our questions, and get all of our answers. Along with countless lists, lessons, and worksheets that are ever-growing.
This group has become a remarkable group of friends! In June, a few of us were finally able to meet each other after more than two years of chatting online.
Make sure to invest in yourself! You won't regret it.
