I'm sure you will be seeing many posts about the contest Chronicle Books is running. Normally I don't post about contests but how can I pass up the chance to win $500 worth of books for me, for one of you, and for a charity? Yep, you can win these same books that I picked out.
The charity I would choose would be my local library network, the Lake Agassiz Regional Library. I have so many fond memories of days spent there picking out books and would love to give back to show my appreciation. I think it's great that Chronicle would allow the charity to choose their own items too.
My list comes in right under $500. $499.15 to be exact.

2. Microworlds
3. Paper Cutting

Such a great idea for a contest! I don't have any of those books, either!
Some lovely crafting choices! If I don't win my own picks (at Book Dirt), I'd be plenty happy to win yours.
Great craft book choices. Good luck!
Doesn't that Paper Cutting book look fabulous? I didn't see it when I was cruising the site, but I checked it out from your list, and I think I must have it, winner or no. *grin* Good luck!
You must be a real seamstress. I didn't put any of those books on my list, but they should would be fun to have. Good luck.
what a fun list! Good luck, crossing my fingers :)
Hi Katie! Love your book choices. :D I already have Sublime Stitching (and almost all of Jenny Hart's embroidery books) but I added Embroidered Effects (the one I don't yet have) to my list. You'll love them!
Good luck and happy haulidays!

French General looks amazing!! Good luck to everyone!
Mine came out right under $500 too hehe. Might as well, right?! I like that you have a bunch of crafting books. I'm so so bad at crafts, but i'd be willing to try!
I'm enjoying visiting the sites to see the book selections. And, I love your craft bucket list. Nice.
Nice list! I'm loving the one about the Eiffel tower.
You really do like crafts..sewing and all! I liked to try a quilt one day..bucket list thing.
good luck to both of us!
I love crafting! Not great at it, but oh well... :) Good luck!
Great list! I'd love to win these, if I don't win my own. Good luck!
You got five cents closer to the 500 than I did. Good job of calculating and picking good books.

Chronicle has so many wonderful books - I can't believe I didn't add at least ONE craft book to my list, but I concentrated on cookery and things to entertain the children! Great list!
