Have you ever wanted to make crafts for other people but were unsure where to start? Well then this is the book for you. With over 30 projects, there's really something for everyone. Every project is accompanied with a charity that you could give the item to or ideas of where it could be of use in your community. The book contains very detailed instructions with nice pictures to help you in the creating process. "Craft Hope: Handmade Crafts for a Cause" also chronicles the beginning of [...], an online community with projects that help people around the world, as well as the Earth itself with its most recent project, Project 8, helping to clean the animals caught in the gulf coast oil spill by donating washcloths to help in the cleaning effort. Please support this great cause and help other people by buying this book! I can't wait to get started on projects of my own from this book.

I got my book a couple of days ago, and have already started searching my stash for materials. The instructions are clear, with beautiful pictures of finished projects so I know what I'm getting myself into. I love to sew, but I can only give so much to friends and family, so I am excited to look into the suggested charities and start helping people while enjoying my hobby.

I'm so excited to see the crafty projects in this book. There is something for everyone and great potential to change the world, raise awareness, and provide a handcrafted item to someone in need. These are projects for both local and global communities. You'll enjoy the motivating family projects to teach children the importance of giving, creating, and sharing. Savor the photographs, projects, designers, illustrations, templates and overall feel of the book for years to come. It's great to see Craft Hope - the book. I'm hoping for Craft Hope- the movie in the future -just sayin'...continued success with all of your endeavors. Margaret Nock (margknittinaround)
