Some interesting ideas, but not particularly catching for me.

This book is fun to flip through. Some of the projects are hideously ugly, but some look like they would be fun to make. My problem with many of them is that they would require the purchase of the base materials! If the stuff is lying around the house, it's already being used.
I liked the little informational sections on the history of the base materials (paper, wood, etc) more than many of the actual projects. I'll hang on to this, but I'm not sure how often I'll end up making anything described on the pages (if at all).

This book's very cool. Lots of do-able art/craft projects - and lots of built in inspiration to think of ways to recycle materials into groovy gifts and decor.
This is a pick up/put down kind of book. More like a manual. You won't read it straight thru. In fact, it's meant to be shared and discussed and turned into a creative workshop of sorts.
My favorite part of the book so far, though, is an odd little section about facial exercises you can do to eliminate the aging face's inclination to "wattle" and droop. I don't know exactly WHY this is in the book - but it was great info.

Yeah so there are some interesting projects in this book. However there's a lot of these projects I would just never do as this book just does not hold my interest.

A great book for taking old things and giving them new life. Many projects are very in-depth though and require some time and patience.
