Just a quick post to let you know that I have three great craft books up for grabs over at the Adorn blog, so be sure to comment on that post for a chance to win one of them!

I wrote mini-reviews of each and picked a favorite project to spotlight, so check out the Adorn post for lots more info.

Speaking of Adorn, I have been meaning to post about how much I love the new issue! My Crafty News & Notes column was a lot of fun to write — I got to feature some of my favorite crafty things, like Erin McKean’s Dress A Day blog and the Vintage Fabric flickr group.

I also loved Kayte Terry‘s matrushka dolls, Cortney Heimerl‘s crafty guide to Milwaukee, and Linda Permann‘s lino block print tutorial, along with the indie gift guide, sewing machine 101, and Vegas-themed photo spread!
