new books

Keeping you in the loop on a couple new scrapbooking books that might interest you:

Simple Scrapbooks has a new book coming out by Lain Ehmann. It's called "Snippets" and you can get a sneak peak here. This is not an "idea" book and doesn't include scrapbook pages. It's a series of delightful essays exploring everything from getting started and making time for the hobby to stalking scrapbooking celebrities and yearning for a magazine worth scrapspace. Sounds like a great stocking-stuffer for any of your scrapbooking friends. It's shipping after Thanksgiving. Oh, and there's a Snippets virtual launch party at the Simple Scrapbooks website this Thursday.

Also getting ready to ship, the latest from Creating Keepsakes is called "Month by Month Scrapbooking" by Amanda Probst. You can find it here. This one has tons of inspiration for all the traditional annual events, rites, and rituals, along with new perspectives on how to document your daily life throughout the months of the year.
