I really like the Listography journal. I think it would be a great gift for someone.
“Apartment Therapy Presents: Real Homes, Real People, Hundreds of Real Design Solutions” is full of great decorating inspiration.
“Kittenwar” is adorable.
I’ve been reading “Lotta Prints” and really like it.
Wow, great prizes…I particularly love the sock knitting kit:)
I’m excited to read “Handmade Nation”!
I should get this book to learn intarsia: “Picture Perfect Knits: Step-by-Step Intarsia with More than 50 Inspiring Patterns.”
I’m new to sewing and would like to read “French General: Home Sewn: 30 Projects for Every Room in the House.”
Word up! I just bought my hunny the book Core Memory for Christmas! I think he’ll love it as much as I love the postcard book
I think the Suki iron-on is so cool.
Thanks for the giveaway, Jen!
I am gifting so many Chronicle books this year… almost all of which I wish I could keep! Surreal Gourmet Bites is one that I bought my sister.
I have more than a few chronicle books. I have Holiday Knits: http://tinyurl.com/6zu3h5 and like it quite a bit!
I just recently rediscovered a scarf I started to knit 3 years ago… now I have my old enthusiasm back and would love to learn more techniques! So the “Hats Mittens and Scarves deck” would be wonderful!
And it would be cool to try some of the projects from “Pretty in Punk”!
Ooooh…nice! I really like Handmade Hellos!
“Squiggles: A Really Giant Drawing and Painting Book”. I saw this book in a store a few weeks ago when I was on a trip and keep thinking that it would be a fun gift for my sister, who although she’s 27, would really appreciate this kooky coloring book.
I like “Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey” for myself because I definitely have a serious sweet tooth!
i’d like the get the “stencil 101″. thanks1
One of my favourite Chronicle Books is Craft Inc. By Meg Mateo Ilasco!
I think just about everything Chronicle puts out is AMAZING, but lately I have been especially coveting the Sukie iron craft pad and the handmade hellos book from Hello Lucky! I’ve been eyeing the stencil book too for some time! What fantastic books!
What’s Your Poo Telling You?
Readymades: American Roadside Artifacts
I like “Puff.” It’s a cookbook with 50 recipes to make with puff pastry! Desserts, appetizers, etc.
I also think “Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey” looks fun. It has recipes for “desserts for the serious sweet tooth.”
And “French General: Home Sewn.”
And “The Sunlight Print Kit.”
1000 Journals Project is one of my most favorites but I own LOTS of Chronicle books…
The Book as Art: Artists’ Books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts is another fave.
Please enter me! I love Tartine. I’m a desert freak and it’s beautiful.
Also Easy Green Organic. It helps with those strange farmer’s market items I’m not sure what to do with.
I really like Detail in Typography. It’s got some stuff in it that I need to drill into my brain.
Love their Kyuuto Japanese crafts series of books!
I love the whole Stuff on My Cat series. There’s a lot of animal lovers in my life and the photos crack us up.
My favorite Chronicle book is currently Handmade Nation…I am so eager for the film so it was nice to sit and read
One of my favorites is “Lotta Prints”. I just got it a month ago and it’s so fun!
I’m planning to get the Softies Kit at some point… I want too many things…
I totally recomend “Subversive Cross Stich”!
Both Stencil 101 and Sukie Iron-Ons, I’ve wanted ever since reading reviews on various blogs. I imagine they’d be quite useful for last minute holiday gift customizing.
Oh, I’ve decided. Denyse Schmidt’s “Quilts: 30 Colorful Quilt and Patchwork Projects” is my favorite.
Continuing with the embroidery theme (a craft I’ve been wanted to get deeper in to), Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Woolly Embroidery looks awesome. Crewel intrigues me, and I’d like to see how I could apply it towards my current crafts.
i like the sukie iron- Ons book. If I win this I can iron onto tote bags
I love the Love is the New Black postcard book!
The iron-on book looks wonderful! I haven’t seen it before this post. I need to go look for it (if I don’t win it first!!)
I’ve been eyeballin’ that Stencil 101 book.
ive always wanted to try stenciling! so that book will be cool too
I always love your giveaways!!! The Stencil 101 book would be perfect….perfect for me that is! I currently own a business and I have been working on new products for the spring…this book would offer some great inspiration and design tools to get started with my own patterned fabrics! I am a sucker for any how-to or craft related books!
Thanks again and happy holidays!

Of course the handmade nation book sounds wonderful
And the Softies Kit – okay, now I am going to have to buy myself a Christmas present
“Pretty Pantry Gifts” looks right up my alley. I love making homemade edible gifts and that kit would make them look so pretty.
“The Designer’s Toolkit: 1000 Colors, Thousands of Color Combinations” looks perfect. Sometimes I just don’t know what colour to choose when I’m designing.
“French General: Home Sewn: 30 Projects for Every Room in the House.” I’m just a sucker for anything French, and the fabrics on the cover looked so lush.
I gotta tell you all who are ahring the Sukie Iron-ons and Stencil 101 as your favorites, you are spot on. They are both totally fantastic and I’d really rather keep them than give them away!
The Core Memory book is always a wonderful picture book for any computer geek.
I really enjoyed Handmade Nation
I also love “Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey” because I love desserts of any kind.

Laurence King Publishing By Michael Evamy
It really is an awesome reference for logos!
Paul Frank’s “Love is the New Black” postcards are my new faves!
Lovely giveaway – Chronicle just rocks in all ways, shapes, and forms!
I like the Birdscapes: A Pop-Up Celebration of Birdsongs in Stereo Sound because yay birds!
Wanderlust postcards are great! I am hooked on postcards!
I’d also love a copy of Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Wooly Embroidery, based on just the cover alone.

I love all of these things!!! I got my sister “what’s your poo telling you?” as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. I have the Method book myself and love that it’s pretty enough to leave out on the coffee table.
Now I can’t stop looking at their website!!! I want it all!
I’d love the Printmaking Bible, but I am also eyeing the Suki iron-ons!
I really like “Top Chef”, the show is amazing so I am sure the book is as well!

The Sock-knitting kit is perfect! I can’t seem to figure out how to get beyond a straight line so that would be a big help!
Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Fuzzy Felted Friends is my pick.
Pretty Pantry Gifts: A Recipe & Wrapping Kit for Delicious Jams, Sauces, and Pickles looks great!
Softies: Simple Instructions for 25 Plush Pals – so cute!
My toes are cold so I pick “The Sock Knitting Kit”…how fun!

My fav is Lotta Prints. But I own and love lots of Chronicle Books. K
I could see myself spending hours on the Listography Journal.
The only thing keeping me from buying it is knowing I’d do nothing but fill it out until I finished. Chores would neverrrr get done! =P
Love it, though!
