Every year I try to create something new for Christmas. This year I have been very drawn to "textures". I take photos or my artwork and take them into another computer program and add different special effects. I also never usually place "Christmas" on my designs ~so no matter what you call the holiday; the cards can be used.

The Holidays are Approaching
Christmas Gift Idea's
When it comes to Christmas face it, it is not what it use to be. There use to be a time when a child was happy finding a piece of fruit in their Christmas stocking. In today's time chances of a piece of fruit being found in a stocking would get a very strange reaction.
Gifts are given out of love. When you give gifts, there should not be grief, stress and sadness if you do not have the money to spend on expensive gifts. I have seen where a lot of the appreciation of giving has lost some of its magic. For me personally that has become very sad. Many people celebrate and see the holiday differently and however you decide to celebrate it is your call on your own personal path.
How many times (truthfully) has someone asked you what you wanted for Christmas? I personally have a problem with that, because like I said in the opening, gifts are given from the heart and should never be out of obligation. When I think about giving gifts, I look at the person's heart and energy. If someone loved hiking you would never give them a pair of ballet shoes, right? You would associate that person with Nature and a love they have for it.
Here are a few ideas that could be something for you to consider.
For Nature lovers
Just about anything with a nature scene on it:
Do you love baking?
You can make a wonderful gift from your own kitchen
Places to find great recipes to fill a tin
Back in the early 1990's I wrote this short story about how I see Christmas. The story is called: Glorious Christmas
I will be adding to this post throughout the next few days, please bookmark and come back to visit.

Jar of Love
This page could be used for just about any holiday. It is a wonderful gift that is literally made from the heart. Baking a yummy treat and placing it in a jar to give as a special little gift, is not only thoughtful and caring, but it is also a very inexpensive way to give gifts. http://amplify.com/u/a16p1o
