GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT for new moms, aunts, grandmas
This is a beautifully designed, accessible, fun book. I ended up buying 5 copies for my friends with new babies in their lives -- it makes a great gift that is more unusual than baby clothes and such, and it is so reasonably priced ($11.50), especially for such a well produced book. The projects are definitely "doable," but the book is fun even just for thumbing through.

And really, it's great for everyone -- especially NON-moms who want to give an easy handmade gift to celebrate the arrival of a friend's baby. As a new mom myself, those have been the best gifts of all -- those of a little time and creativity, and this book makes it easy to do!

Anyone can do these projects!
I received this book as a gift and really was excited!!! I always want to do craft projects, but sometimes feel like things are going to be too complicated. This book makes it seem easy and doable, and has inspired me to start making some craft projects right away. The step by step instructions are easy to follow. Doing small craft projects is really satisfying and I find it better for relaxing than meditating or a martini!!!

Particularly suited for the novice crafter and will hold immense interest for the experienced crafter as well.
In a rather engaging A to Z format, Suzonne Stirling presents twenty-six crafts oriented projects that mixes vintage traditional with modern-style contemporary activities suitable for even the most novice crafter. These 'budget friendly' crafts projects range from 'A is for Announcement'; to 'D is for Decoupage'; to 'K is for Keepsake Box'; to 'Q is for Quilt'; to 'Z is for Zoo Animal Storybook'. Each individual project comes with a 'Tools & Materials' list; step-by-step project instructions; and a color photograph of the finished project. Whether it's 'J is for Journal' or 'W is for Wall Frieze', this superbly presented and enthusiastically recommended project book is particularly suited for the novice crafter and will hold immense interest for the experienced crafter as well.
