The Crafty Chica Collection: Beautiful Ideas for Crafts, Home Decorations & Shrines form the Queen of Latina Style4
Fun to look at & fun to try the projects. But, takes a lot of gathering of stuff to make even one small project. So, plan to make lots & give them away for Christmas or another special occasion. Great for craft parties where everyone works & inspires each other with their creativity.

Viva le Glitter5
I love this book! I had a Cinco de Mayo party and used many of the ideas to create the perfect ambiance for my party. I love how Crafty Chica's crafts are very user friendly and can be modified to fit your own tastes. I highly recommend this book as well as Art de la Soul. You won't be disappointed!

Fun alternative crafts!5
Creativity grows when you use it, so why not do things that are really fun and stretch the imagination? Lots of ideas here. Great for all ages.
