I am constantly on the lookout for a well done crafty book, and am usually disappointed with the mundane offerings that are put out all too often. Not so in this case; Rosie O'Donnell has not let me down. Bravo, Rosie! You've offered up well thought-out projects in a clear and professionally presented manner, and didn't hog up all of the pages for yourself (not that I thought she would!)
The projects created by the contributing artists (like Charlotte Lyons)are beautiful and do-able; great for crafters of all levels of expertise.
Thanks Rosie!
