I’m thinking about holiday presents and wanted to post this reminder about the Chronicle Friends + Family sale that’s ending Friday… such a deal with the free shipping, too!

I am going to post some craft book reviews this week, I’ve gotten some recently that I just adore so I’m excited to spotlight some of my favorite things, and I have a couple to give away, too. It seems like I have so little time to actually make anything for fun these days, but when I do find that precious hour I have some projects bookmarked — with real, paper bookmarks, not internet browser ones. Those are good too, but there’s something really nice about a real, actual book.
