My thoughts:  CREATE! is a fun book for tween, teen, and older girls to make fun crafts for themselves or for gifts for friends and family.  I love some of the ideas in this book, like buying a big wooden letter (L for my first name) and gluing beads on it to make a pretty keepsake or decoration.  Or a prayer case which is actually a travel soap dish decorated and tiny sticky notes and a pen in it for writing your prayer requests out. 

There are more than fifty craft ideas, so if the two I mentioned aren't for you don't give up - pick up a copy of the book and thumb through it.  You will find something. 

This is great for VBS crafts, summer camp crafts, children's church crafts, or for the crafty girls you know to make fun things for themselves and others.  My daughters have all picked out different crafts they want to try. 

I received a copy free. All opinions are my own,
