This book is full of creative techniques for creating truly unique projects in fabric and mixed media. Our art quilt group has tried several. Great fun!

This is a big book filled with creative ideas in how to doodle by adding doodling on top of another. It's like phrase one, phrase two and then phrase three and it works. Making a simple flower by adding to the outer edges, and by adding to the inner flower. The designs go on and on for just about any project. There is an interesting page on how to add to photos not for me but again a cute idea if your creative. More blank pages for you to try on your own, I'm beginning to see a norm to this idea, I guess I hate marking the book knowing I'd be erasing and erasing. I prefer to use a separate sheet of paper especially if I decided to give these drawing books to the grandkids, one day. There are more and more ideas on doing design that you can embroider, and other special projects for special occasions. I like the book because it has a lot of things in it.

My son was so excited when he saw this on Christmas. The book actually surprised me as there are so many pages and so many thins you can do. Of course if you don't have some of these pieces you can't make all of the ideas in the book but it's definitely a great book for ideas. And the pictures are awesome.

Team Challenges is a resource book packed with ideas and activities for encouraging and developing children?s creativity, lateral thinking, and communication skills.

It's easy to see how these challenges could help to develop a child's confidence as well as exposing children to career and skill development options. Solutions are not necessarily guaranteed and children can be encouraged to continue thinking a problem through when the time is up and to present further ideas later, or even try the task again.

The challenges in this book emphasise creative and imaginative thinking and I'm very impressed with the author's ideas.

This book is an absolute gold mine of fun ideas for circle time. The author covers a huge range of ages, themes, goal areas, etc. Some of them took me down memory lane in the best way possible and some were new and fresh and exciting. Really just wow.

The only downside for me was that the formatting made it all run together a little and therefore is a little overwhelming. That said, if you ignore this minor issue, then this is an awesome resource for teachers, camp counselors, and anyone else working with a big group of kids.

I think this is a really fun and creative way to dig into the scripture. I like that it goes along side of the Message Bible. It gives it a unique way to study. Since it is a coloring study guide the pages are thicker so you can use most mediums that are available. Depending on how heavy the paint or marker is will depend on whether or not it will bleed through but for colored pencils its perfect.

I like how not only does it give the scripture but some notes from Eugene Peterson who created the Message version. It is designed to be used as either a personal study or for groups so its pretty versatile.

There are 3 in the Drawn In series right now: Mary, Ruth, and Esther. I hope he does more of these types of studies on other Bible figures. Maybe even other Bible women. It's definitely different and I really enjoyed going through it.

This unique book addresses decorating styles based on personality - the visionary, the artisan, the idealist and the adventurer.  It contains quizzes to test your style and then shows examples of each type of room for each of the four styles.  I liked the page of each style section that states -"You may be an artisan if ..." and it lists different traits. Also at the end of each style is the alphabet for each style - and it gives buzz words for each style.  Very unique and creative; fun to read with good ideas.

This book is absolutely wonderful. So many options to choose from and what's included sparks creativity and idea after idea. The only complaint is the way the items are held in the book, definitely needed an adult to remove to keep from ripping.

This is a wonderful book and resource.  Many of the activities start small and build on the skills kids have.  I've been using ideas/activities from this book with my 3 year old daughter and have seen growth in just a few weeks.

Someone else said it was not great or original, but I disagree.
Maybe because I do not have the other Taunton home books,
so these images are all new to me.  I am a designer and this has
been an excellent resource for me.  I use it a lot.  I love the
ideas and I turn to this book over and over for inspiration.  I
highly recommend it if you're looking for ideas to rejeuvinate your
home's exterior or if you are sharing design ideas with your cleints,
as a real estate agent or architectural design consultant.

I am a student of English Tecahing in Tel-Aviv University. I found this book a wonderful resource of activities and fun to activate pupils in a stress-free environment. The ideas in the book are a source of inspiration  for everyone. I intend to use it in my classroom and I wish for more books  like that.

I enjoyed the photos of example newsletters, all in different formats. It really got the ideas floating around in my mind.  The interview questions and checklists were helpful also.  This book really shows how unique a  newsletter can be, and I would recommend it to anyone dabbling with the  idea of a family publication. I think the original price is a teeny bit  high, but the quality of the material is also!

A great resource for machine quilting. The book contains design ideas for blocks and borders as well as backgrounds. I like the way the it's cross referenced so you can choose designs that are cohesive. I also like that it's spiral bound.
