Paperlicious is Delicious

I am impressed. I ordered the image above to try from Paperlicious. It arrived packaged neatly and well protected. Once opened the stationary was packed in a neat clear plastic box and included the note cards and envelopes. The envelopes included my return address which isn't always available these days. These would make great gifts for a teacher, neighbor, house warming present, for a new mom and many more. While I like the idea of sending hand written notes of encouragement or thank yous, I can't say I am good at remembering to do so. Now, I have less of an excuse with these cute notes in hand!

A to Z Crochet - Book Review

This has got to be one of my most favorite books. Why? Because you don't just read it cover to cover and walk away from it. It is useful, it is a resource, and I find myself referring to it time and time again. You see, I am a crocheter, but I don't crochet constantly so I forget stitches. A to Z Crochet is a great tool to remind me how to do a certain stitch. The pictures are helpful and show progressive steps. If there is more than one way to do something, you can bet it is explained.  This book is offered in both a softcover (which I have) and a hard cover from Martingale & Company. [link] Not surprising, this is one of their best sellers!
