Have you been following the “Buy Personal” series? If not, you should be!

I am highlighting the people in my creative community, which is comprised of our friends all across the country (and you too Jake). These talented people make things with their hands, write things, record things, perform things. They are the people that make our world interesting. I hope you will consider giving these things and supporting these people this holiday season. When you give the gift of the arts you are giving two gifts – to the recipient and to the maker. That’s a win in my book.
