9 Holiday Gifts for Women by Women
I love getting to know online business ladies who are product makers, crafters, creators, artists, writers. Every day they are putting in the hard work and time it takes to see their ideas come to life. They are making books, clothing, jewelry, workshops, and more … just for you (and me!).
I asked my maker friends to tell me about their creations, to show me what they’ve been busy putting out in the world this year. I hope you are inspired to check out their work this holiday season and then go on and create those things that are in your heart.

Color Your World
This morning I woke up feeling green.
Not the sick kind of green. The fresh spring, time to plant and grow, kind of green. The let’s get this started kind of green.
I’m feeling this way because the first call of The PDF Workshop is today. I’m feeling this way because I did a fun run this weekend and the shirts that came along with it are green. I’m feeling this way because Kelda, our new puppy, has beautiful hazely green eyes!
So I’m dedicating this week to green.
I will color the world green. Because I am a seed that’s beginning to sprout and I like the way it feels.
What color would you like to dedicate your week to? What will you color the world this week? Why?
Download your own Color Your World PDF, print it out, fill it out, post it where you can see it, and go forth and color the world this week.
