scrapbooking and stamping cozy mysteries

This morning I was on Laurel's Ustream and everyone got to talking about books. Some one mention that there is a scrappbooking series out and then I mentioned there was a rubber stamping series out too. Some were interested. I mentioned the series and the author. The I was going to tweet series and authors that write on these subject. I knew it was going to be more than 140 characters :P, so I thought a blog post would be better. I'll include links to their website, if they have one. After looking things up there aren't as many authors as I thought. LOL but if your into a hobby, there is probably a mystery series for that hobby. :P



Scrapbooking
Scrap-N-Craft mysteries series by Joanna Campbell Slan 
Scrapbooking series by Laura Childs  She also writes a tea series that I like too.

Stamping
Stamping Sisters Mysteries by Terri Thayer (While looking up authors on this subject I saw she also writes a quilting series too)
Card Making nystery by Elizabeth Bright (a pseudonym for Tim Myers) Sadly there is only 3 books in this series.




I don't know if it falls to stamping but the there is a Decoupage mystery series by Lucy Lawrence (a pseudonym for Jenn McKinlay. Who writes a couple other series one is a cupcake mystery series that I read too.)

Though i don't knit or crochet here are a couple series that I do read on them
Knitting mystery series by Maggie Sefton
Crochet mystery series by Betty Hechtman


Here is a website that list all the books in the hobby gene by this publishing company. http://berkleysignetmysteries.com/genre.php?id=20 and take a look around the other categories too. This is a good site to see whats out there.
