Customer Reviews

I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
Not 10 tips, not 30 tips, but 75 very doable and very attractive ways to preserve your children's art work. I can't believe it. Each of the 75 tips has photographs of sample projects, specific directions, and the exact list of what you need and where to get it. Not a bit of space is wasted in this terrific book. It's packed with great ideas and easy to follow instructions. Each project is as beautiful as a Martha Stewart craft, but uses supplies you can easily find and won't break your bank account. I already tried 3 and can't believe how easy it was. And I still have 72 more to go. It even solves the really tough problems like what to do with those first scribbles as well as three dimensional artwork. This book is a great find. I'm buying it as gifts for all my mommy friends as well as my children's teachers.

Now There's No Excuse Not to Display Them All!
My daughter just finished her first semester of pre-school. With school comes the inevitable artwork, and there's only so much room on the refrigerator!

With this little book, you will be shown innovative and unusual ways to display your child's masterpiece. There are 75 ideas in this book, and you're sure to find one or more that will not only suit the artwork, but also your home. From simple to sophisticated, your O'Keefe or Picasso will never be prouder. Of course, there's only so much wall space as well... but that's okay, because lots of these ideas are not confined to the wall.

Wow!
Excellent book for the amatuer photographer. Even just skimming through it I've gotten several great ideas and techniques for good photography ("find the triangle!"). My wife made me order a second book b/c she found someone she *had* to give our copy to. Very much worth having.
