jujuvauxhall – 5.0 out of 5 stars great book – I love this book, I was a little wary considering some of the reviews saying it was only suitable for children, I disagree, if you are an imaginative crafter this book is perfect.

Pollen – 5.0 out of 5 stars  – Sweet – Lovely little book. Just putting the finishing touches to one to hang up this Christmas!

Marilyn – 5.0 out of 5 stars  – Amazing little book – A delightful little book with so much in it. I have made three wreaths all different. The combinations are only limited by your imagination.
