I'd love to share some of the books I've received this Christmas. I'm absolutely gaga over them. I can't even pick a favorite so I'll start with a magazine. :) I'm not a stamper but have designed many. The photo on the top right is from a project using my butterfly fairy stamp. :)
I need to email the Stampers' Sampler and let them know the right info on where to purchase her. The artist who created a wonderful doll book is Paula Dion from Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
Okay, so now to the even better part! I'm head over heals in love with my new books....the first one being from two people I admire and am honored to know....Linda and Opie O'Brien. 
Metal Craft Discovery Workshop. It's absolutely awesome and a present I gave myself because I was unable to get into their Saturday Artfest Workshop because the class was full....it was my #1 choice for the WHOLE week! sniff sniff....the book makes me totally happy.
The same time I got that one I picked up some more. :)
Embellish Your Home is such a charming book packed with whimsy and awesome ideas. It's just beautiful inside and out.
Flea Market Jewelry is a book that is totally what I'm into. I've been using vintage broaches, etc., to make altered art and jewelry for ages...and now, to see these wonderful ideas in print! Love it!!
I finally found it....Where Women Create. Sally, you were right...it's incredible. I'm in heaven.
Last but certainly not least. I've discovered the most wonderful crochet book....it's Crochet From The Heart by Kristin Spurkland. 
I can't wait to make stuff from it.
I hope everyone's had a wonderful holidays....oxox
Those are some fantastic books I've been eyeing myself. I think I'll be dipping into my Christmas money for a couple now!

happy new year!
