PAINTINGS & CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS FOR ALL AGES:

GREAT GIFT IDEA FOR KIDS OF ANY AGE: 

 I think that if you are thinking of encouraging the creativity that seems to be so natural to children, a great Christmas gift idea would be some student quality paints (acrylic or watercolour) - coloured pencils - marker pens and perhaps some pastels, and then add some bottles of glitter and a few stickers ... then a good sketch book for their own drawing, and some of my designs printed onto a variety of papers ... thicker, watercolour paper for paints, thinner cartridge paper for pencils and glossed paper for marker pens (that of course, is the beauty of my ebooks - they can be printed as often as needed on whatever paper you choose).  Don't forget, there is dogs and horses now, and more to come soon  :-)

Here is the link to purchase either the Horse or Dog designs already available as eBooks for only $4.95 US each in my eBay store...
