2 comments about Scrap Saver's Bazaar Stitchery.
- Sandra Lounsbury Foose' books are full of wonderful small project ideas, easy to use, full-size patterns for fabric and paper items, illustrated with clear, attractive colorful photographs and concise, easily followed supply lists and instructions. Scrap Saver's Bazaar Stitchery is no exception to her usual fine Scrap Saver's quality. I can hardly wait to get started on several projects in this book! Whether you're looking for gifts or small holiday-theme items to make, or projects that will sell well at a bazaar - this book will spark your creativity and enthusiasm. Fabric shape items include stars, bunnies, hearts, bears, kittens, Christmas shapes, small dolls, mice, and ice cream cones. Paper patterns include autumn leaves, bookmarks, stars, filigree heart ornament, chain of hearts, and wonderful folded baskets in the shape of bunnies, bears and snowmen... Easily a project for every season!
- Lots of cutesy crafts - more for doing crafts for kids I guess although mom would end up doing most of the work. there are pot holders, stuffed mice (these really are cute), rabbit, baskets, halloween stuff etc.

- This a must have for any doll collector of modern dolls. There are over 50 doll artists mentioned with a brief history of their work. For each artist mentioned there is at least one photo of their dolls. There also is The World's Most Beautiful Dolls Volume II as a great follow-up edition.

- This book has the best creepy creatures to make! Yarn and pipe cleaners and other basic supplies allow you to make the most adorable creatures which you can embellish and alter to suit your taste.

- Great companion to Fantastic Fairies for brothers to create. Lost of fun creatures to spark your creativity. Love the extras - furniture etc. that are included.

1 comments about Easy-to-Make Decorative Kites: Step-by-Step Instructions for Nine Models from Around the World.
- This is one of those craft books ideal for the Boy or Girl Scout troop leader. The designs are very detailed and they all require a great deal of effort to complete. The projects are from all over the world and they are:
*) The European Diamond Kite
*) The Japanese Red Devil Swooper Kite
*) The Oriental Butterfly Kite
*) The Korean Warrior Kite
*) The Chinese Yuan Kite
*) The Guatemalan Sun Kite
*) The Traditional Chinese Dragonfly Kite
*) The New England Ghost Kite
*) The High-tech Box Kite
There is a scaled grid drawing of each of the kites and detailed textual instructions regarding the materials to use as well as how to put the kites together. Several diagrams showing intermediate stages in the kite construction are also included for each model. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in young people creating advanced kite models, independent of the reasons for wanting to do so.

2 comments about Official Price Guide to Action Figures: 2nd Edition (Official Price Guide to Action Figures).
- This was a very informative book. I liked the fact it went back a while to older figures I am missing, as well as all the hints and thips along the way. Kudos to Amazon for featuring this book!!
- This book had all black and white pictures, and almost all of them showed the item in its package. I needed a book to help me IDENTIFY individual figures, which this book DEFINATELY DID NOT DO. I immediately returned the book.
