Great craft book,
This review is from: Breit Ideas for Home Decor (Leisure Arts #3418) (Perfect Paperback)
This book was an addition to my numerous Mary Engelbreit craft books. I love her style, and I've used lots of her instructions to make or embellish projects around my house. I've already decided on some things to do or make from this book. If you're an ME fan, it's a must have.

This review is from: Breit Ideas for Home Decor (Leisure Arts #3418) (Perfect Paperback)
If you are looking for design ideas and love Mary's designs this is not the book to buy. This is a craft book. The designs are more childish than I wanted. Given another chance to buy this book. I wouldn't.
