Hi John, Sometimes, we need a creative activity that's simple, mess-free, and instantly satisfying. I've been drawing these little gingerbread houses with white paint pens, and I love how calming and joyful it feels. It's a festive way to add a bit of winter magic to your day without pulling out all your art supplies. All you need is brown craft paper (even a grocery bag works!) and a white paint pen to create charming little houses that can be turned into holiday cards or gift tags. Or simply enjoy making them in a moment of creative peace ❄️ Why you'll love this: Getting lost in creative flow (perfect for stress relief) Adding handmade charm to your holiday cards and gifts Finding a peaceful moment in the holiday rush Creating something delightful (even if you think you "can't draw") If you need a calm, creative break during the holiday season, and could use some mindful making time, these little houses can be a sweet place to start.
