If you're feeling a little behind with holiday gift acquisition this year, you're not alone! I'm amazed at how the winter

As you scramble with last minute preparations, don't forget that books make great, affordable gifts -- and better yet, you can use them strategically to encourage friends and family to get involved in beading.
