Heart Handmade Holiday Zine
It may be the ultimate cliche, but there truly IS something special about the Holidays.
And for those of us in the handmade community, this time of year brings an extra layer of excitement as we see an incredible explosion of creativity from the artists and designers in our world.
It's that sense of creativity energy that inspired me to put together the Heart Handmade Holiday Zine - which is available...
(1) as a preview (via issuu.com/hearthandmade), split up into three parts:
part I, part II, part III or...
(2) download the zine in three parts: part I, part II, part III
warning: the files are kind of large, but I promise it'll be worth the wait!!
The Zine includes an inspiring collection of stories, wishes, tips, recipes and gift ideas from some of the talented people who've contributed to Heart Handmade in 2008. Plus a few of my personal favorite artists have donated print-your-own art prints and gift tags!!! Yay!!
I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had putting it together. Let's raise a Holiday toast to the Handmade Community!
Best,
PS. I'm taking off for the rest of the week!!! I'll see you back here on Monday - a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this Thursday and Friday!!

Awww thanks Julie. I'm so sorry they ended up being such huge files. I wish I could've just kept it down to 1 file but then I don't think anyone would've appreciated the 15 minute download wait :)

Finally downloaded them--fantastic work, Marichelle! Thank you for a very nice read!
I just downloaded your zine. You did all this by yourself? Amazing. I'll be pouring over this for the next few days.
Sorry trees, but I think I'll be printing them out as well so I can put it in my clear book and take it with me wherever I go.
Thanks so much for the inspiring reads. I'll be adding you to my blog read. :-)
I found this zine via Sister Diane at Craftypod. I had never heard of your site before! The zine is marvelous! I'm devouring every word. :D
This is fantastic, Marichelle! Thanks!
Hi Marichelle:
