This book is definitely geared more toward intermediate crafters, who know the basics and want to become more advanced. I loved Paige’s background information on crafting and of course the gorgeous pictures, but I wish there were more stories throughout the book rather than just how-to pictures and craft ideas. This book is still one to add to a crafter’s collection as it provides great information. I’m so happy my public library has it on the shelves!
