Love Scattergories...needs a few minor changes
359453
I was a House Party host  and I received a free Party Pack that included Scattergories. I LOVE this game. It is super face paced and so much fun. I like that my kids can play just as well as any adult and some of their answers are so funny! My only complaint is that parts of the game are now made of cardboard and are pretty flimsy. We already ripped one of the pieces accidentally, and they used to include 6 boards instead of just 4, and that's kind of a bummer.

Kaukko, PLEASE PLEASE PLASE make some changes to this backpack!

THIS BACKPACK IS PERFECT EXCEPT FOR 3 PROBLEMS:

1. I've only had this backpack for a few weeks and already, the fabric around the drawstring is fraying away. The drawstring fabric is extremely thin and this is a MAJOR PROBLEM for people who use this backpack on a daily basis.

2. This backpack needs more SMALLER, CLOSABLE POCKETS. There's only one small pouch on the very front of the backpack, but it can only hold so much. Small items (keys, wallet, chapstick, pens, hand sanitizer, calculator, etc) don't all fit in the pouch on the front of the backpack, but if I put them in the large compartment, they get crushed, so there is a DIRE NEED for SMALLER, CLOSABLE POCKETS within the large compartment.

3. The red dye used on the fabric of the large compartment has STAINED my laptop case. Please be aware that THE RED DYE WILL LEAVE STAINS. I would love if they could change this.

Honestly, I'm very very very particular about the kinds of backpacks I use, and I was really excited when I saw this backpack. I would love if Kaukko would roll out a NEW AND IMPROVED model of this backpack.

Hello everyone! This is a very good note book. Ive been using this brand for many years now and they have been amazing! I highly recommend them but I do have 2 complaints.

1. When you tear a page out, 8 times out of 10 it comes out funky! The perforations aren't deep enough and it dosent come out clean! Not huge deal but something they could do better.

2. The little folder in the front ( to store graded papers of something) isn't big enough for a regular 8.5/11 paper! I just think thats ridiculous! Its only big enough for like a paper you tear out of the note book. I hope they change this soon!

No complaints.  It's sounds like the patterns/colors are random.  I got a wide variety of patterns, but two were similar except for color.

I like the theme of this puzzle very much and we had fun making it with our 8-year-old. It is harder than it looks because there is so much color and pattern variation between pieces and some repetition of the motifs. I like this manufacturer, and we have several of their puzzles, but I sure wish they would put a full picture on the boxtop to use a guide in making the puzzle. That is so useful and makes puzzle making more fun and less frustrating.

This planner is super cute and a lot more fun than the millions of basic ones out there. My biggest problem, though, is that it doesn't include weekly breakouts into each day. Instead, you get the whole month on a 2 page spread, and then the next spread is that month broken into 5 areas that say Week of 1-7, Week of 8-14, etc. instead of each week broken down to 7 days. It's pretty useless if you need a planner to keep track of multiple daily meetings and tasks like I do. But still super cute, though!

The is cute and a little kooky. Her overall suggestions about asking yourself if the item really sparks joy in you and to go through to de-clutter all of one area at a time is useful and has changed my plans for clean-out. But her suggestions about folding seem like she has too much time on her hands. Tucking and folding multiple times, come on! As a write I felt she hopped around just a bit too much or maybe repeated herself. It could have been half the size and just as effective.

I love the designs in this book but I noticed some of the printing is grainy which is just a little annoying. The designs are good, complicated with plenty to do and will take a lot of time to complete depending on that is what you are looking for. Overall, fun activity, I just wish some of the pictures weren't pixilated.

This was my second purchase of this item, as the kids have been rapidly folding their way through the first pack.  Do note that the paper is not precisely square, being ~1-2 mm longer on one side than the other.  For casual origami practitioners, this need not be an issue, but it is noticeable in some folding situations and can be just a tad frustrating.  Also, there is a multitude of fun colors, but a paucity of grays, as pointed out by my daughter, who wanted to make a gray crane to go with her rainbow of cranes.  Each paper is colored on one side, white on the other.

I do a lot of Forest & Flowers so I loved the pastels, great. Some of the tips were rough, so they could be improved. Very very nice. One for me I need more greens & browns. Ask the boss if you could send me a pack. Thanks for doing a good job. Jeanette

We bought this set to give my 2 years old more options for expanding his track without overwhelming him with the expansion kits.  We love that it's a simple track and relatively few pieces to get lost around the house.  While my son absolutely loves this set, there are a few changes I would like to see.  First, the logs don't stay on top of the train car and neither does the piece that holds the logs.  We finally hid them because my son was losing them all over the house.  Secondly, I would like to see the straight pieces reversible.

I like this planner. I wish I love it, though. I LOVE Sarah Andersen's work. I relate to this comic character a lot. The planner itself is a good size but I don't like having 3 sections for what I'm doing that day. The spiral often gets in my way when I'm writing. The paper that's used gets ink transfer on it and I hate that. The comics are all from the books. But I like the stickers and happy to support a talented artist!

I really like this, it is full of cute scrapbooking and card making backgrounds and pictures.  The only thing I don't like is that I use it mainly for scrapbooking and it doesn't tell you the dimensions of the figures or shapes you place on the paper like the previous edition, so I don't know if I can fit a 4X6 picture on it or not.  I print the page I create out and then place my photos on the finished design, so knowing the size I left blank to add the picture would be extremely helpful!

I've given this book 4 stars because it has some designs that are really beautiful & a few not so beautiful...
I made the "Quilted Pendant" (pages 30-33), although I used candy beads & changed the edge a bit. I did, however, find an error in the "Supplies" list. You will need 22 bicones with the tassel, 21 without a tassel, not 18, as it says.  Also, if you want your pendant to have the same arrangement of beads as is shown in the photographs of the front and back of the piece, you need to put the bail on one of the "corners" of figures 6-8 (pages 32-33) instead of in the middle, as the diagrams show.
I want to try some more of these designs, but I'd not be at all surprised to find more mistakes...

Great stash buster! If you want to use colors other than what she prescribes it is easy to look at what colors are used  in the pics but the reason for 4 stars is because the color names of the yarn manufactures she used are terrible and repeated  as A,B, C, ETC. WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMON COLOR NAMES?  Good "take along" projects. Small and practical gift giving for a little something to take along.

This is one of my favorites...primarily because I like the designs (not too small and not too large). It's more modern than floral. The thicker line weight is great for coloring with 1mm markers (sharpies/bics). To help you decide if it's right for you, I've included several pages as examples. I will say, upon receiving this book, compared with my prior two coloring books, I initially gave it 3 stars. The reasons are less important now that I've almost finished the book and thoroughly enjoyed it, but here they are: The paper is a little thinner than some of my other books. The lines are a little jagged, but you have to look very very very closely to see they are not perfectly crisp. Each page has a wide border, making the actual design smaller than 7"x7". Once I started coloring, though, the smaller size seemed appropriate for the designs. Just FYI, the pages are not perforated. Since this book I've ordered three more Angie Grace books (Snazzy, Baubles, Spiffy) but Whimsy is still my fav. Enjoy!

This is a fun pattern book, but not one I'll keep. Out of the 18 patterns, I only liked 8 and of those, I will probably only make 3 or 4 - the bean 'stalking' socks, the cabled infinity scarf/hood combo, and the forest mittens. That said, the patterns are well written (as far as I can tell), there is an obvious fun and quirky theme to the book, the layout is readable and detailed, and some of the patterns are really creative. The designer is talented and the photography is lovely, showcasing the pieces to their best advantage. Most of the items just aren't my style, and I have no one to make them for (like many others, I think the dragon scarf adorable!) but there is a lot here. Unfortunately, for me, this a pattern book I might browse a time or two, make a few (and I mean FEW) of the patterns, but otherwise will just gather dust.
