The Crafty Diva's Lifestyle Makeover: Awesome Ideas to Spice Up Your Life!

Crafting is a great way to teach our daughters (and sons!) how to start something and finish it. The Crafty Diva books give guidelines for fantastic crafts that moms/step-moms can do with their daughters/sons. It also teaches girls to choose their own individual style, as opposed to looking like a cookie cutter. Directions are clear, and can easily be modified to add one's own sass.

Ok -- I may be twice as old as the typical reader of this book, but I love the peppermint face mist directions -- I'm planning on making some with my friends' kids for the holidays! If you've ever wondered how to keep a group of younger girls entertained on a rainy afternoon, the Crafty Diva's Lifestyle Makeover is a great jumping-off point for activity ideas. I teach kids to knit (in person and with my Knitgrrl books): believe me, they'd rather be doing fun things like this than watching endless TV reruns. Creativity is cool! Like her earlier Crafty Diva book, the illustrations are adorable, the directions are clear, and the tips are great. I like her emphasis on money-saving ideas...you don't have to be a millionaire to be a crafty girl!

i bought this book and the other crafty diva book for my little sister for her birthday and we LOVE both of them! the projects are so different and easy to make and super colorful. we already have made a list of projects we are going to make next week at my siuster's slumber party. i like how the writing in it is so funny and relatable. i just barely found kathy's crafty chica web site and podcast and am so proud to find she is a latina like me! this book is so creative and happy, i encourage all girls to go buy it so you can make the projects with your friends!!!! i can hardly wait to go buy kathy's other books, i hope they are as good as these ones are!

I love the new and innovative ideas for crafts! The pictures and illustrations are great references to see if we're doing things right.

This book is even BETTER than the first Crafty Diva book. It not only has craft projects, but it also has all kinds of neat articles like how to feng shui your room, how to sell your jewelry and how to make a mix tape and other cool stuff like that. This book takes care of all my presents for my nieces birthdays. These Crafty Diva books are awesome!!!
