Well done but a little tacky....
Craft School is a very attractive book - clear instructions and great photos. If you are a beginning crafter, this gives you a nice introduction to many different mediums. However, some of the projects were rather cheesy and juvenile - so, I am choosing to take the instructions and apply them to projects that I think are way cooler.
