<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>During these challenging economic times I think it is more
important than ever to support community based businesses this holiday season. Of
course, BookPeople is every ones first choice for reading, gift wrap,
cards, blank journals, and sundry stationary needs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I’d also suggest a visit to Crossroads Nursery
for a sensory extravaganza. I’ve blogged about it and included
photos <a href="http://cleaning-house.org">http://cleaning-house.org</a>
(I’m not trying to get blog hits and my photos do not do justice to the
gorgeous staging and wide selection of items. There is something for every
budget, but the presentation alone is worth the short trip out there.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m looking forward to reading other folks suggestions.
