As 2020 draws to a close, I know I am not the only one who is excited to see what 2021 brings. COVID changed our lives for the time being and as an escape from the day-to-day stresses of our current way of life, many of us find peace and comfort in decorative painting. We continue to want to be a source of escape for our subscribers and we hope that getting lost in our pages helps you forget about the world, even if just for a moment. This month, we are pleased to welcome two new designers to the Pixelated Palette family: cover artist Kotami Tanaka and Pam Bock. Kotami’s My Sweet Santa features the jolly guy as he completes tasks assigned by Mrs. Claus, preparing for the family Christmas. Pam’s Candy Garland Ornament features a darling design for the tree. Pam also provides her hard candy recipe, so you can fill those ornaments for your loved ones! Speaking of ornaments, Tami Carmody’s Glass Christmas Ornaments offers three designs for floral glass ornaments to adorn the tree. Take a trip with a gnome and his pooch on their way to the next job in Sharon Bond’s Snow Removal. And I know Sandy Kelsey’s I’ll Start My Diet After Christmas is sure to bring out the chuckles. I know that I myself have postponed the diet until after the holidays. Who wants to miss out on all those delicious holiday goodies?! We are thrilled to have Linda Hollander in our magazine again this month with her article How to Go from Copycat to Creative Genius. Follow Linda along as she guides you on how to go from following other designer’s patterns to creating your own unique designs. Of course, when you design your project, we hope we are the first publication you submit too! Do not forget, we LOVE to launch new designers!! I hope you enjoy the final issue of 2020. We have lots of wonderful things planned for 2021, our 7th year!! WOW!! The Pixelated Palette family wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ~Happy Painting!! Lindsey
