Contest is over! Thanks!

Today's Five Days of Quirkmas giveaway is a Snowed in Survival Kit... aka, all of our crafting books. Spend those chilly Winter days huddled up working on crafts with your friends, family, and potentially, your cat!

Microcrafts by Alicia Kachmar, Katie Hatz, & Margaret McGuire: A celebration of all-that-is-small, Microcrafts dishes out 25 projects no larger than a spool of thread. Micropapercrafting, microsewing, microcrochet, and even microgardening... there are lots of super cute tiny projects in here.

Witch Craft by Alicia Katchmar & Margaret McGuire: Lots of spooky-yet-adorable projects fill Witch Craft, from marshmallow skulls to plush poison apples.

The Museum of Kitchy Stitches by Stichy McYarnpants: Well, this isn't really a craft book. It's a showcase of hilarious stitched up projects.

Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden: Love amigurumi? Adore monsters? Perfect. You want this book. Creepy Cute Crochet contains more than 20 patterns for zombies, ninjas, Vikings, vampires, aliens, robots and more. 

Knitted Icons by Carol Meldrum: Not happy with just crafting famous monsters? How about famous people?

Crafting With Cat Hair by Amy Hirschman & Kaori Tsutaya: This hilarious, strange, and rather cute craft book will show you how to make projects using your cat's fur. Buttons, portraits, cat toys, picture frames... plenty of projects that you and your cat can make. Together.

How can you enter? Just leave a comment telling us about your favorite crafting activity. Are you a knitter? Crocheter? Papercrafter? Let us know. I'll select one of you at random and send you a package full of books, as well as some sample crafts we've got around the office. Don't forget to leave your email address! I'll need to get a hold of you somehow, right?

Okay, so Craft isn't my middle name, but it should have been. My dog feel left out, maybe I should publish a book called Crafting with Dog Hair? gwen(at)chewdigestbooks.com

I'm really into making paper toys with I son right now.

Don't make me choose! Embroidery is probably my favorite--it's easier than sewing, more complicated than cross stitch, and you get fewer paper cuts than with paper crafts. Careful with those needles! isadora@isadora-ink.com Thanks!

My favorite crafting involves buttons, mainly, but can also include googly eyes, felt, or beads. I like making my own earrings with these items by use of super glue or crazy glue. I try to wear a different pair every day so I am constantly making them. I enjoy sewing and crocheting, as well. Cheryldptr@gmail.com

Oooh, I'm a knitter, and I am in serious danger of running out of new knitting books. Really.

I'm a knitter, and I usually have 1 or 2 cats by my side while I'm working on projects. I am really curious about the Crafting with Cat Hair book. erinmulrooney@gmail.com

I'd have to go with embroidery as my favorite craft! Although my cat produces a ton of hair...so I think I need the crafting with cat hair book! My email is nitephotos@yahoo.com

All the crafts - I has them! As a Cat-Lady-In-Training, I'm super excited for "Crafting with Cat Hair" and am looking forward to potentially expanding my etsy shop with Cat-tastic projects (or become internet famous on Regretsy. You know, which ever comes first). I'm also a Knitting MACHINE, especially around the holidays. In fact, I knitted this comment!
