Help a friend AND get some great holiday gifts

If you're looking for a holiday gift (esp. writers & illustrators), please consider visiting my friend's Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/artbeco

Beckett Gladney's husband Paul was just laid off work. :-(

Beckett is a talented illustrator and writer, and was the one who convinced me to enter last year's SCBWI Illustration Portfolio Showcase (the one that ended up getting me a book contract for I'm Bored with Simon & Schuster BFYR).

She and Paul have two young kids. You can read about them in Beckett's wonderful blog:http://artbeco.blogspot.com/

Beckett makes absolutely gorgeous sketchbook covers, notebooks, craft kit covers, jewelry and other items. AND she does custom work! If any of you happen to be looking for a holiday gift , please do visit Beckett's shop:
