Black Friday!

Happy Black Friday! You can get 20% off all items in my shop through Monday if you enter the code "HOLIDAY" at checkout. My twitter contest to promote the sale hasn't had a lot of success. I got 4 retweets, but I need to get 50 for it to work. I might cancel it or extend it.

I listed this new journal. I've been meaning to list it for a while. I made it this summer. I love the paper I used:

Postcards from Europe Coptic Stitch Journal





You might have noticed I added a new feature to my blog. In every entry, you'll see 3 recommended older entries that relate to the new post. I thought it seemed like an interesting feature. Tell me what you think – if you like it, if you use it, if you think it looks nice or too distracting, etc. I kind of like how it looks and I think it will be helpful to get people to look at other entries. I wish there was a way to set it up so I get an email when people comment on an entry though (so I know if somebody comments on an older entry). I'm sure there's some way to do this, but I haven't figured it out. I've also noticed I've gotten a lot of spam comments lately (like one entry I have 20+ comments of spam). I'm not sure how to stop these. :(

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I got to see my brother and it was nice to see him again. We celebrated his birthday and Thanksgiving together. I also watched the movie Julie & Julia. It's about a woman who attempts to cook every recipe in Julia Child's cookbook written in the 1960s and write a blog about it. I love food/cooking and blogging so it was fun to watch (I thought of this blog when they showed the blogging parts). I thought the movie was good. You can see the real blog she wrote here It's interesting how nowadays, people can become famous through their blogs. I'm actually inspired to start a cooking type project (not related to this blog though). I'll post about it if I decide to do it.
