Illustrated Faith started a great giveaway idea where you can share your favorite Christmas goodies from Dayspring and get a chance to win the gift guide too (check out their post here).

Well... I didn't know Dayspring had so much great goodies! It was really hard to choose my top 5, so maybe I'll share another one soon haha. The only 'downside' for me is that it's really expensive to ship to the Netherlands... So I'll probably won't own these beauties ;).

1. Everlasting Light bangles

I just love these bangles. A beautiful message and a beautiful design to wear with Christmas :).

2. Ann Voskamp - The Greatest Gift

Actually, another book from her is on my 'real wishlist'. It's translated into Dutch (Duizendmaal Dank / A Thousand Gifts) and when I saw this book I wanted to add it to my wishlist too. Maybe there's a Dutch version too.

3. Part of God's Story - Leather Journal

Of course there had to be something stationary related on my list. I love beautifully designs cards, journals, pens etc. So this journal couldn't be missing. It just asks to be filled with studies and doodles.

4. Willow Tree Nativity Set

I love the serene feeling of this set. And even when you like to change your interior every year, this set will fit with every style so that wouldn't be a problem ;).

5. Everlasting Light - Inspirational Candle Holder Set

These warm and welcoming Everlasting Light candle holders look so beautiful. Would love to see them shine.

When you are creative yourself, most of the time you'll have some creative friends too. I have to say that most of my creative friends are in the online community but the last years I've found more creatives living closer to me too. It's always nice to stay in touch with some people that can relate to your, sometimes crazy, obsessions haha. People that won't be bored by hours of talking about art supplies, stamps, papers etc.

These two cards are more sewing-related, something I would really love to do but I just don't have the right knowledge for it. When I see a sewing machine I just don't know what to do with it haha. But I really love what people can make with it! So these cards are especially for these creative people that can make little miracles happen with just needles, thread and a piece of fabric!

Als je zelf creatief bent, heb je vaak ook wel wat creatieve vrienden om je heen. Ik moet wel zeggen dat de meeste van mijn creatieve vrienden meer uit de online community komen dan dat ik ze ook 'in het echte leven' spreek. Al zijn er de laatste jaren ook wel meer creatieven uit de buurt bij gekomen :). Het is altijd leuk om wat mensen om je heen te hebben die niet opkijken van je, soms wat rare, obsessies haha. Waarmee je uren kan praten over verf, stempels, papier etc.

Deze twee kaarten zijn meer gerelateerd aan de hobby's op naaigebied. Iets wat ik graag zou kunnen, maar ik heb er niet de kennis voor. Als ik een naaimachine zie weet ik niet wat ik ermee moet doen haha. Maar ik vind het erg mooi om te zien wat mensen ermee kunnen maken! Dus deze kaarten zijn speciaal voor de mensen die kunstwerken kunnen maken met naalden, draad en een stuk stof!

This year I'm doing the 365 challenge from Johanna Fritz. Every now and then I'll share my doodles on my blog. You can see the most recent doodles on my Instagram and Facebook.
