The sign of a good book in our house is when it doesn't make it to the shelf. Our copy of Jennifer Casa's new book, Teach Yourself Visually- Crafting with Kids, has been open on our table for the past month and is already dog-eared and happily tattered. It's proven to be a great resource (and would make an excellent end-of-the-year classroom gift). I was genuinely thrilled when Jennifer (of JCasa *handmade fame) asked me if I'd be interested in reviewing her new book. Jennifer, as you probably already know, is incredibly talented and inspiring. Some days I try to channel her energy when I'm dragging my feet about doing a project with Kicky and EZ E (and yes, some days there is some major foot-dragging on my part). We've made a bunch of projects from the book, but the one we've been having the most fun with this week is this hopscotch floor mat...and I'm not even done sewing it.
There are 75 projects to do! You can pick up your copy here and be sure to check out Jennifer's blog, JCasa *handmade.

I could definitely put that book to some good use!
I promised myself that I'd stay away from A.O. giveaways because I just won Rachel's e-course, but I really, really want this book!
with summer coming it would be wonderful to have something to draw from!
my daughter is a crafty kid.
I've read, and seen, a whole lot of nice things picked from the book, so I want to stand a chance!
The book looks just lovely. I've been following the blog tour here and there and would be so excited to try some of the projects. Congratulations on making something wonderful!
