Cleverly Crafty Five-Minute Mysteries2 reviews
Ken Weber

Running Press, 2007

Back in Form!
I own all Five-Minute Mysteries books. The first couple were pretty good, but the last several were just awful, with unoriginal and mediocre problems. I was about to give up on this series, when I decided to give it one last try -- and this one did not disappoint! The problems are creative and interesting (and fairly difficult -- but definitely still solvable if you read the text carefully), ... 		  
  







  
  
Crafty TV Writing: Thinking Inside the Box8 reviews
Alex Epstein

Holt Paperbacks, 2006

Excellent
I've read many books on writing for film and television, and this is one of the best. What I like most about Alex Epstein's style is that it is immensely, if not compulsively, readable. His advice is practical and straightforward, and he approaches the topics in the book with a much appreciated playful sense of humor. There are books that are educational but pretentious and are a chore to go ... 		  
  







  
  
Rip It!: How to Deconstruct and Reconstruct the Clothes of Your Dreams32 reviews
Elissa Meyrich

Fireside, 2006

I loved this book!!!
The first time I sewed anything was in middle school shop class - we made this hideous blouse that I never wore because I didn't like the material or the pattern. I decided to get back into sewing because while I didn't like the end result, I loved the process. I have a sewing machine coming and I can't wait to get started. I want to try at least a few of the techniques I saw in this book. ...

Sheila Brennan

Quarry Books, 2008

The Elizabeth Zimmerman of Sewing
Great book of chic and easy projects that actually look great! The idea of a one piece pattern reminds me of Elizabeth Zimmerman's style of one piece knitting - all you need to do is sew the seams together to finish the garment. These projects are quick and easy and work well alone or with embellishments. Bottomline, this book is a base for creating an entire wardrobe, down to a purse! The ...

Crafty Screenwriting: Writing Movies That Get Made39 reviews
Alex Epstein

Holt Paperbacks, 2002

When Substance Matters
For any writer out there it isn't a mystery how many screenwriting, writing and writing for the screen books exist in the world today (please note my redundancy had a point). Reading one book is usually like reading them all. The same message, means and delivery - mechanical, trite and simplistically frustrating as we all know writing isn't easy - on the page is only 1/5 of the battle. ...

Great book
I love this book. It is full of cute expressions and clipart to use on scrapbook pages or cards. There are many topics to choose from including babies, cats and dogs, and seasons. I only wish it came with a cd so it would be easier to print them from my computer.
