i jokingly told a friend last week that i was like scrooge. or, that’s what he called me. i told him how i’m not a fan of christmas music {although, i will admit there are a few songs i do enjoy}, primarily because i can’t stand the idea of stores and coffee shops pumping those tunes out starting the day after thanksgiving. that, to me, is waaaaay to early. but you know what part i’m least scroogey about? buying gifts for my nieces and nephews, baking treats, and wrapping. i love wrapping things. so it’s no surprise why i am loving these eco-friendly {you can reuse them year after year!} chalkboard gift tags by eclu…

alright. today is the day where i get my holiday cards written and mailed out. that is the goal. i know, i’m super late this year. whenever november rolls around i begin debating whether i should make my own holiday cards or purchase some lovingly handmade ones by someone else. when i come across beautiful cards such as the ones below, i secretly want to hoard them all for myself. i know. it’s a problem. but, can you really blame me?!

a little while back i got an email with the words “top secret project” in the subject line. i was, of course, very intrigued. what added to the excitement was the fact that the email came from someone i admire a great deal. stephanie, the editor of n.e.e.t. magazine was working on a book project {to give their online presence one in print} to celebrate the magazine’s fifth anniversary. i am so honored to have been asked to be a part of such a special adventure.
well, guess what? the book is officially available for sale and looks absolutely gorgeous! it’s offered up with five covers by five illustrators {so you get to pick the one you want!}. within the book you will find five sections, with five interviews of five questions. i am one of the five n.e.e.t. writers {did you catch all the “5′s”} and had the privilege of interviewing some of the most amazing indie folks around for the n.e.e.t. homes section {they already happened to be on my crush list}. i got to know more about: sandra juto, natasha denness of candy pop images, jeska hearne of lobster and swan, valeria herner and daniel garbutt of hindsvik, and amanda johnson of here’s looking at me kid.
buy yourself a copy. buy one {or more} as a gift. available in both hardcover and softcover. read more about the book here‘ {and scroll down to the bottom to find a free flat rate shipping coupon code good through december 10}.
remember to also check out the current anniversary issue online now.
congratulations, stephanie!
