Summary: Horribly disappointing; recipes are vague; some will fail
Comment: I was so eager to get this book that I paid to have it sent by 2nd Day Air. But what a disappointment! The recipes are short and vague -- which is fine if you just want to peruse them, but spells disaster if you want to actually make them. For example, the recipe for snow globes doesn't explain that you need a silicone adhesive to prevent the water from dissolving the glue, and that you need non-metallic glitter so it won't rust. The author should have perfected her recipes before rushing to press.
Had she taken the time to see how they lasted, and made sure that her directions were very clear, it would have been wonderful. What a disappointment!

Summary: Great Find
Comment: The cover of this book prompted me to pick it up and start reading. What a find! Ms Lett's style is so down to earth and fun that it makes you want to run out and try all the recipes in the book. The ingredients are so simple you either already have then in the kitchen or it is just a quick run to the store. So far I have only tried one, Potpori's Ugly Step Sister, it may sound strange but it smells great and is easy to make. The art work is also wonderful, my favorite is the bee with the big lips on the page for Honey Lip Balm. This book is a must have for any creative or not so creative person. The recipes are easy enough for a fun children's project. Great Mother's Day gift.
