Hi all smile

If one of your resolutions this year is to read more, or craft more - then read on! We have an exclusive series of crafty book reviews, published by David & Charles, just for you!

Each month CB will be reading a new title, and will then let you know what we thought...as well as bringing you a fab reader offer!

This will begin in a couple of weeks time, where we will be taking a sneak peek at a book written by a CB designer! All these reviews will be featured in the Crafty Corner section of the site and will include handy links, telling you how to order the books we loved at discount prices!

So keep your eyes peeled!

Thanks

Emma smile

Oh Emma this sounds right up my street, I really love the sound of this and can't wait for the reviews to start.
Thanks again CB for so many interesting topics, this has to be one of the most up to date and interesting forums in cyber space right now, and I can see that it will remain so for a long time to come!

Hi everyone smile

Glad you like the idea - I'm a little bit excited as I love a good read.

The first review will go up next Friday so watch out for it! I've got the book in front of me now and it looks smashing.

If anyone has ever struggled making a card for a male - of any age - don't miss this. We will be kicking off this series with The Crafter's Design Library of Men's Motifs....by CB designer Sharon Bennett, published by David & Charles!

I can't wait smile

Thanks

Emma

That sounds so great Emma! Cards for the guys can be so tricky. I cannot wait to see the review.

Should I warn the girl in our local book shop that I might storm in to see her the following Monday? LOL

Hello my lovelies!

I am pleased to announce that the first in our book review series HAS GONE LIVE TODAY!

As I'm sure you remember I have been busy reading Sharon Bennett's Men's Motifs, and I have let you all know what I think over here. That's the Crafty Corner - where you can catch up on all the hot news straight from CB HQ smile

There is also a great reader off, just for you! So make sure you check it out and let us all know what you think on this thread! smile

Thanks and Enjoy smile
