This is a beautiful book and I'm proud to add it to my collection. The problem with those of us who are not creative, but want to be is, where to start? This gives us all we need..the tools, directions and the confidence to make a keepsake that can be handed down for generations. The author has written it in clear easy to follow directions and the pages really are beautifully illustrated! I was thinking I could maybe do different formats for each of my children so it sparks your imagination! I don't usually have any interest shown by family members in any books I get, but they were passing this one around and and discussing it. We decided it would make a really cool Christmas gift for a crafty relative!
