More About the Author

Born in Superior, Wisconsin, Sue's love for writing and art started before she could bait her own fishing hook. To feed Sue's creative passions, her grandparents constantly told her stories which they encouraged her to capture on paper -- in both words and illustrations. From building a humble cabin during the depression to a secret fishing spot on Lake Nebagamon, the stories told by Sue's grandma and grandpa opened her eyes to creative writing, sparked her artistic imagination, and fueled her passion for sharing stories and art with others.

As a young teenager, Sue gathered her writing and painting tools and biked to the shores of Lake Superior to capture the beautiful scenery in meaningful poetry and fluid watercolor. One year, as a Christmas surprise for her family, Sue completed a collection of short stories about life at the 4U2 -- her grandparent's quaint cabin nestled amongst the birches and evergreens.

Sue pursued her love of writing and art at the University of WI-Superior, earning a degree in fine art and journalism. After graduation, Sue worked as a copywriter/designer for a trade magazine publisher in Duluth, Minnesota. In 1987 Sue went to work for Meredith Corporation in Des Moines, Iowa. Her career there allowed her many professional experiences, including copywriter, copy chief, crafts designer, magazine editor, set painter, and photography stylist.

Today, Sue is a freelance writer, artist, and crafts designer with her work appearing in more than 75 crafts and decorating publications. Her creative skills are sought by businesses and individuals all around the country. Sue's works are constantly called "contagiously happy." To Sue, that's the nicest compliment in the whole wide world.

If I could only take one book on a deserted island,it would be this one.
Many affordable, cute Non dated crafts are described in this book.

I viewed it at the library first, and knew I had to have it!

Highly recommended!

This review is from: 100 Crafts Under $10 (Better Homes & Gardens) (Paperback)

I expected much more out of this book. Basically, a lot of the crafts were to buy something glass, wooden, etc. and paint it. Out of the 100 crafts, I only found one that I planned on doing.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little bit old fashion....., November 23, 2010

This used book is good for kids getting some idea to do the crafting. The only thing for this book is a little bit old fashion......
