Link Love: Inkvent is Upon Us!

With the turn of the calendar to the month of December, I heard a cacophony of paperperforations being torn the world over as folks cracked open the first days of their Inkvent calendars. Some might be making up their own countdown calendars. Other are opening chocolate calendars, coffee or tea calendars or even yarn mini skein calendars in preparation for little bits of holiday cheer. Take joys in the little moments this December.
