Link Love: Refresh for the New Year!

This week there’s lots of 2017 recaps and favorite lists for the past year as well as some looking forward to the new year. In art, there’s two posts about using scraps (coincidence? I don’t think so!). And there’s also a section of digital wallpapers to refresh your digital workspace for the new year. Hello, 2018!
