2014 Friendly Gift Guide

Lately I’ve been blown away by the creativity and talent of some of my friends.  I am surrounded by artists, musicians and crafters.  Because these people inspire me, I wanted to share them with you (that is the entire point of my blog anyways).  So I put together a gift guide to show off the talent around me.  I think you’ll find something for everyone on your list.

First up are three albums by The Brilliance.  The first two are Advent Volumes 1 & 2. Easily my favorite “everyday” Christmas music, I love the way these songs prepare my heart for Christmas.

The Brilliance - Advent Volume 1

They also have a new album out, called “For Our Children.” Not your typical children’s music, in the best way possible.
