My favorite gift was a Spirograph. It allowed me to create interesting shapes and another way to draw. Merry Christmas!

My favorite gift was a Thumbelina doll. I wanted that doll for a long time, but the best part of receiving is to be so grateful that you are able to pass it on to someone who wants it just as much as you do and I did just that. I passed it on to my sister as soon as I opened it. My greatest gift that Christmas was seeing her joy when I gave it to her.

For many years at Christmas my parents would wrap up new, soft, cuddly pajamas for me! I looked forward to new PJ's every year and to this day my fondness for new pajamas continues! A simple gift that has turned out to be a special memory of my childhood in Massachusetts. Merry Christmas!

Can you do more tutorials with watercolor pencils? This one is so beautiful and great 👍

I received clay for Christmas one year. It was clay with the best texture I had ever felt up until that point in my life (I was around 13 years old). I only got two colours, red and blue, but I was so excited because it held shapes beautifully and wasn't as hard as other clay I had (also they were huge pieces!). So my imagination literally had no bounds as far as shapes go. I'm sure that moment sprouted all my love for clay. I, now 26, rediscovered the craft in the form of polymer clay and its the best thing since the blue and red clay because now I can bake it and my creations can live on and become useful!

Not shopping in stores, so this is a TOTAL BLAST to be able to make my own greeting cards! You are a simply wonderful teacher (and I have taught adults) as you keep it simple, and empowering each step with calm reassurance. Thank you. Christie

The year my very generous grandma died, I was ten years old. That year my father was out of work for 8 months as well. Before that, we were used to huge gift hauls and loved every minute. My ten-year-old Christmas gift was a Barbie and a music stand to share with my brother. He also got a GI Joe. This was my greatest gift because I finally realized all the love that went into the Christmases past. My mother sacrificed and saved from her grocery budget to get even those basic things for us. My gift was to see what love goes into sacrificing for your kids. It stuck. I'd sure like one of the gifts you showed but will be happy for whoever is lucky enough to get them.

The wonderful thing about art is it's so subjective and it's in the eye of the beholder. I appreciate different styles of art, some more than others, but it's such a beautiful creative outlet.

My 7 Yr older tried this for the first time with water color pencil and the result was awesome. He just drew it with ease even though it was his first attempt. Thank You So Much @Shayda for putting this together.

Happy Holliday’s to you and your Husband and family.
Christmas was our grandmother’s birthday. Looking back, the best gift we ever had for Christmas was our Grandmother or Bobonne as we called her.
Her gift was our joy in cooking and beeing creative. A gift she gave us for ever. She left us in 1986, but still lives in our hearts. Love from Belgium

This is my first time watercolouring and I love it. I live in a small city in Canada where they just opened a craft store and I am so excited. I live in New Brunswick. As I am just beginning a little extra supplies would be awesome. The best Christmas gift I received was a piano at twelve years old. I have always loved any kind of art, colouring, painting.I would so much love to receive this wonderful gift.

I've loved reading since I was very young, so I loved getting books for Christmas. But when I was in high school I received a sketchbook, some pencils and charcoal and fell in love with art (though I never did get good with charcoals). I went to high school long enough ago that we still had art classes, and one semester we did watercolors. I didn't get comfortable enough with it to continue it, but watching your videos has inspired me to try it again. I've ordered watercolor paper and paints, and am looking forward to getting on it. I'm sure it won't be quite as easy as you make it look. So glad I happened on your channel a few months ago!

My favorite gift I got as a kid was a homemade dollhouse! It was incredible!! It even had light fixtures in it that actually worked!! I cannot wait to give this a try with my watercolor pencils! Would love to see more tutorials on this!!

I am a beginner to watercolors, I found it so relaxing, my best gift as a child was crystal am radio that my dad helped me put it together. You could hook it on the window screen am pick up AM stations. Best gift ever.

Thank you so much for helping me using my watercolor pencils. I'm a beginner and always felt I had to work with color...Thanks

[sherrywolcott]

My favorite gift as a child was a light box for tracing. I traced fashion models from magazines and made them into paper dolls with my own designs for hats, coats, dresses, gowns, boots. I loved it! I got back into creating art again with adult color books and recently took a watercolor class. I am so happy to be creating again! I try to paint or learn something new every day!

[lindaloumontana]

Whimsical and fun! Great for greeting cards as well. Thank you! My favorite gift growing up was a Breyer horse: a beautiful rearing Appaloosa.
