Hello Lovelies!
The Christmas count down is on. How are you going with your shopping list?
I am not sure if you feel the same, this year feels a bit easier for present buying as I have been able to spread it out and not leave it all until the last minute.
Last weekend we had an early Christmas with my family as my brother, SIL and nephew were down from Brisbane. That was 3 presents ticket off
We have Secret Santa for my partner's family and I have ticked that present off
3 Oodies ticked off
Presents for Santa sacks ticked off
3 handmade gifts from Four Hands Workshop in Faulconbridge currently being made
The rest are vouchers and books
I am trying to shop locally with 95% of gifts bought from small businesses.
I saw someone joke on social media the other day that it is No-sales-vember for small businesses. I can attest, the struggle is real! It is a small way I can help and you can too.
Why not write a list and see where you can source it locally?
All my art is made with women in mind.
We give so much of ourselves and out ourselves at the bottom of the list.
I say no more! All these artworks are made for you, to inspire you, to offer you stillness, strength and a reminder to get back to nature and have some fun!
As with each year, I have put together a wish list or GIFTS UNDER $... guide for you so keep reading!
GIFTS UNDER $10
These are so beautiful. Designed to be greeting cards but are collectable and frameable. Add a $5 frame from Hot Spot Discounts in Springwood or a recycled one from Salvos and gift a collection of them.
There are Goddesses, Whimsical women, Flowers, Cacti, Abstracts and Blue Mountains themes.
GIFTS UNDER $25
A 120 page journal for you to fill with your hopes and dreams as well as a space for gratitude at the end of every day.
One of a kind earrings made from my art
GIFTS UNDER $70
These are hilarious and sometimes thought provoking. I used lines from a book called the Purloined Flame which is a raunchy pirate/tarot reader book from the 1930s to come up with these.
Printed on watercolour, these make a very affordable way to decorate your home on a small budget.
These are printed at Picture It Framed Gallery in Faulconbridge. I have lots in stock, otherwise I will get it printed within 2 business days of your purchase.
GIFTS UNDER $350
Invest in something one of a kind, something that will always go up in value, something to keep and pass on to other generations.
There are A3 art on paper, framed A4s, art on canvas.

USEABLE & WEARABLE ART
Redbubble print on demand is always a fun place to shop. They have sales all the time and currently have up to 60% off. I think the 60% off relates to pet stuff but there are sales on everything. They source some products from Australia as well as overseas, depending on who prints it best. Tshirts and jumpers deliver quickly so must be very local.
Here are some ideas of what you can get printed:
Wear it - adults, kids and baby clothes
Wrap it- around your tech or your neck
Lay it - on your lounge, bed or floor
Hang it - on your walls or your shower
Stuff it - with your pens, credit cards or business cards, weekend away or holiday gear
Stick it - on your drink bottles, cards, laptops or books
Write it - in your journal, note book or shopping lists
Put it together - doing a puzzle
Pour it - from a cup, mug, drink bottle or travel mug
Pet it - bandanas, mats and blankets for your furry friends
GIFT CARDS
If you are struggling to decide, just grab a gift card to the value you want to spend and let the recipient choose. This could be great for a 1:1 class with me or an art journaling class in 2024.
I hope you will find something for your someone special or maybe even snag a cheeky something for yourself, or both!
Don't let yourself be last on the list, forward this to a gift giver and give them a big hint.
