I adore this book. For anyone who can still get caught up in the magic of childhood, this book is a treat. It is a pleasure to read and the pictures are beautiful. I have a lot of craft books, but this one I actually read from cover to cover, and savored it. I can't wait to get started on some of the projects. The book isn't just about individual projects, but inspiration for creating personalized heirlooms for children that we love and adding to their world that is already full of wonder.
