5.0 out of 5 stars Saving Money, August 29, 2005

By	Mary A. Famulare (OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really like this book, I just started scrapbooking and find the book real easy to follow. I also saved a lot of money by not going out and buying things I may have not needed. I am excited about getting started, with what I really need, nowing I won't be wasting money in the process. I plan to have lots of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars All in One, December 20, 2005

By	P. Cofield - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very complete, very well-written. Next to "SCRAPS: Adventures in Scrapbooking" this is the best book out there for creative women who run with the scissors.
