Greetings!
Hello! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My Thanksgiving
was lovely, full of family and good food! It was a welcome break
from my school visits and
book events.
But now begins the whirl of the winter holidays. Now starts the
crafts, shopping, decorating and all the good cheer that makes
December fly by. However, in the rush I don't want to forget how
grateful I am to you, my wonderful readers. As a humble thank you,
in this newsletter is some small gifts for you!

Ling
and Ting Paper Dolls
My holiday gift to
you!
I've been so pleased to hear so many of you have enjoyed Ling & Ting!
As an added special activity to accompany the book, I've made some
Ling & Ting Paper Dolls! These paper dolls are ready for you to
color and cut and are completely FREE. It is my small holiday gift
to you!
Just:
1. download HERE!
2. print (preferably on a lightweight cardstock)
3. color (any way you want!) & cut
4. dress! fold the clothes flaps over Ling and Ting and let them
wear their warm winter booties or their party dresses!
fyi, these paper dolls are for personal enjoyment only and
copyright remains with the artist. aka, print and play as much as
you want, but print and sell is wrong.

Fudge
Gift Tag
fun, free design
A  s I do every
year, my holiday gifts include a homemade treat. This year, I
decided on fudge! I tried many recipes and learned that fudge is
actually quite a tricky thing to make! I hope to put up a post
about it soon on my blog, my photo from above is
from my fudge making escapades.
Since I spent so much time attempting (and failing) at fudge, I
didn't have as much time to make my decorative label, so it is not
as colorful as years past. Still, I think it's fun and it's also
free for you to use too! I've left the space blank at the end for
you to add your name, "a gift from----"
Download the gift tag HERE!

recipe here.

For
your holiday shopping!
There are new prints available at the Grace Lin Gallery, my etsy shop. If you would like
the print personally autographed, please make sure you note to whom
you would like it autographed to in the "Notes" section of the
checkout.
Would you like a book personally autographed as well?

Simply call the Porter Square Bookstore at 617-491-2220 and ask for ANY of
my books from Where the Mountain Meets the Moon to Ling and Ting. (You can browse all my available
books HERE).
You pay for the book(s), shipping, and handling, and the bookstore will ship signed
stock in time for the occasion, even gift-wrapped if requested.
Remember, if you want the books personalized, to provide the name
of recipient to bookseller.
