I'm giving it a 4 only because I have yet to try any of the scrapbook making -- not because any part of it was unsuccessful! I have paged through many art books of ilk over the years, but I'm giving Hagerty a good rating, because I was dazzled not only by the caliber of her crafts, but the personal touches she added and the collaboration effort between her and others in the book. It was heartfelt in a way that is not often done in books, and I felt like the well orchestrated crafts and the personal touches made it memorable and worthy of review. Check it out of you get the chance!

I don't really like the look of most of the little books pictured in here, but I really like the idea of mini scrapbooking. I'll have to try it sometime.
