Welcome to the 12 days of VLOGMAS! Day 2: First, I share 5 Christmas picture book recommendations for 2020 out of my small but loved picture book collection. I simply adore these beautifully illustrated books, and I hope you do, too!
Then, join us as we step outside of the art studio on a wintery excursion to walk in the Swiss mountains. More beauty guaranteed!
Lastly, I fill you in about the issue with the advent calendar I created, which I alluded to in Vlogmas video #1: youtu.be/6vz1BfJ5Zlw
Make yourself a hot beverage, cozy up under your blanket, and make sure to subscribe for 3 Vlogmas videos per week (Dec 1 - 24) to get you into the holiday mood!

Who am I?
I am an illustrator who shares her journey here on YouTube, IG and on my website. I have been learning and growing on this path since March of 2019, and I continue to learn more every day. I want to share that with you! I believe in the growth mindset and that though in a creative pursuit natural talent can make a huge difference, so can persistence, practice, and enthusiasm :D.
