Finding the Right Words for the Holidays: Festive Phrases to Personalize Your Holiday Greetings & Newsletters 1 review
J. Beverly Daniel
Pocket, 2005
Nothing new...
I bought this book with the hope of finding something different & more creative to write in my Holiday cards this year...It's nothing but standard greetings that everyone writes anyway, the "funny" greetings sections were not even a little bit funny.
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. It's not that it's a bad book or even that it's written poorly, it's just not anything special. I took a ...

The Grandparents loved their book. And, the kids really enjoyed telling them all about the writing process. The entire ...

A Complete Joy!
Being an author and reviewer when my grandchild asked for this kit as a present I was thrilled. It's always nice to see a child want to follow in your footsteps. Was it worth the money? You bet it was.

Pillars of Destiny
So nice to see a clear/concise book focusing on Pillars of Destiny school of Feng Shui. The market is flooded with Black "Hat" Sect books, if you are interested in discovering your own personal element this book is invaluable. The book consists largely of charts, though there are a few interesting case studies. My two largest complaints are: that the charts only go back 1936 (this is a large ...

Anna Morgan
North Light Books, 2001
Lavish Visuals
Anna Morgan has the eye of a czarina when it comes to creating visual richness. The book is full of marvelous ideas great and small, many of which are quite inexpensive. For example, she suggests saving colored foil candy wrappers to smooth out and use as raw material to decorate the covers of books. Now why didn't I think of that the last time I crumpled and discarded a candy wrapper? Morgan ...

God has truly blessed James Riddle with this gift, because I know it's going to take me deeper into the Word than I've ever gone. The layout is great, and the Word of God couldn't be any greater. There are the promise, the declaration of faith, and then cross-references. It all makes for an in-depth ...
