Buy ART for Christmas

One of the reasons I look forward to Christmas, is giving presents. I love making creative things for my family and friends. I have been doing this most of my life. These types of gifts are treasured and anticipated...so they say!

So I am encouraging everyone to buy or make ART for Christmas, instead of shopping at the mall. Shop from your favorite Artist, Art & Craft Show, or Gallery. Every sale for an artist is exhilerating and motivating.

This year, I created a Toronto Island Monopoly Game. It was so much fun designing it, figuring out the play, and writing all the community cards. I changed the look, the play and and the names so no copyright issues would be infringed. Everyone loved it at the Christmas Boutique. It was a huge amount work, but so worth it to bring such joy to so many islanders.

The most exciting component added was the Time Travelling Portal. This square allows you to go back in time to Centre Island & Hanlans Point, when it was a thriving part of the Island. You can purchase property there as well. One of the main changes to the play of the game is you do not buy or build houses or hotels. You buy a Lease.
