I am a known procrastinator. All of the Janes’ are. Always have been. I’m still Christmas shopping. I am almost out of time. I had a great idea for gifts for your crafting friends. BOOKS!!!! I love a good mystery and what better way to include a craft in the story line. My favorite so far is Earlene Fowler and her books set to the theme of quilting. Laura Childs has come out with a series about scrapbooking. (She also has a series surrounding a tea shop) Donna Andrews writes about a blacksmith. Her mysteries take her to craft shows sometimes. It’s funny to read about the woes of setting up, manning your booth and all the other fun things we do. At least I’ve never had to solve a murder mystery.
So if you still have a crfty friend in need of a gift…the perfect one is just a trip to your local bookstore or amazon.com.
In light of the Holiday Season and mystery books that I love, I will be having my first give away. It’s a much loved book from Earlene Fowler, Sunshine and Shadows. I have read it, so it’s not brand new. I am actually parting with one of my books. So leave me a comment between now and New Year’s Eve to be in the drawing.
Check out my book links, some of my favorite will be listed. But I’m sure the list will not be up today….I have cookies to bake.

Happy Holidays.
Just Jackie
