I was looking to have some ideas on how to revamp some of my presentation by being more interactive, engaging, and unique. This book as some good ideas within that will assist anyone in adding a little more interaction, conversation starters, or just thinking out the box. Its a nice book to consider.

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.

I like the length of this book and the examples included. I find it was easy to read even when reading it in short bursts or selecting a topic from the table of contents. The ideas are simple to understand and implement.  This would be a good book for those who already have portfolio website for redesign or for those just starting out.

I really enjoyed this book!  The ideas are laid out step by step and a lot is covered in a concise way without ""fluff." It feels playful, all-encompassing and fun. I'm excited to implement some of the ideas and to trust my intuition more in my decorating endeavors!

Welcome to an enjoyable, easy read - which is not to dismiss Tom Kelley's fine ideas. With the aid of Jonathan Littman, Kelley works throughout this book to show how innovation can be much more painless than most people think, and more fun. Kelley makes thinking collaboratively sound like a blast. In the process, he convinces you that your organization should nurture and cherish playing with ideas. Although he admits that his consulting company, IDEO, found itself grinding along on tedious projects at times, and that he has watched people shoot down perfectly good suggestions, his underlying message is one of open possibility. He presents 10 roles you can play during meetings, any one of which would be enough to add considerable value. By showing that these roles are temporary, he sends the message that if you want to stay competitive, you can change, and even must. As he examines everything from product names to rules governing how workers decorate their cubicles, Kelley demonstrates the many opportunities you have to create something new. The cost is often little or nothing; sometimes innovation simply means getting out of your employees' way. We recommend this book to managers who wish to break old patterns and encourage creative thought companywide.

Great book! Such a helpful and easy to read guide for creative projects that really help with limited storage. My place doesn't have much extra space and these ideas are perfect for making the most out of what I have. Some of my favorites are the fold away drying rack and the fold away changing table. The next project I have my eyes on is the Window Seat Storage- I would LOVE to have a sunny spot to curl up and read and I don't have to feel guilty of taking up the room bc there's storage for my books and Knickknacks underneath!
I also appreciate that the book ranges from the smaller projects like modular book shelves to a more complicated ones like turning one room into two. I'm not the most handy of people per se so it was nice to start off simple and easy- maybe one day I can get to some of the cool stuff in the back!
All around well-designed book with drawings, step by step instructions, time estimation, and materials needed list all right there. Would definitely recommend it.

I got this book (along with the Homespun Gifts from the Heart by the same authors) and just love it! The ideas are divided into seasons (Fall, First snow, Christmas, Valentines, etc.) and special occasions (wedding, first day of school, baby shower). They have done a very creative job of writing the book,including some very well done gift tags in the back for you to photocopy. The ideas are original and really help get your mind turning in the direction of making memories with those you love. I'm a busy homeschool mom of 5 and in the day in/day out routine of life, I don't think of these things. This book will help me make those ideas into reality. And it actually inspires me to get my own creative juices flowing too. The book itself was very attractive and I loved the layout...very professionally put together.

This is a simple book, designed to acquaint the reader with a process of creating that promotes connection and joy. The author has created collages to illustrate her book, her own words in it, the quotes she uses and these lead the reader to then do the exercises. The exercises are simple and fun, and connect me to the creativity inside myself that bring both connection and joy. It was a pleasure to do!

i purchased this book over the weekend and am very excited about many of the projects.  there are some great ideas that i never would have thought of, like earrings.  i like how each project is rated on a scale of 1-5 as far as simplicity goes.  since i am a beginner, this will help me know which projects i can tackle right away and which ones may need to wait until i am more experianced.

I have to say - this is a GOOD & USEABLE book. Finally! I've already done a few projects with my kids, its easy to follow, lots of cute ideas.
I would LOVE to see a real VOL. 2 of this book (I know there is the activist one but would like something more focused on just being creative and making things for friends). My 7 year old is able to follow the ideas.
