I'm learning photography on my own right now (Not an easy task because get distracted quite frequently) and that book would be an excellent resource for me. <br />I'm sure my husband would love for me to get the cooking book but eh, if I learn how then I'll actually have to do more cooking. ;)<br />Martha's craft book looks interesting but I'm thinking that I am sew (hee hee) getting that Sewing book! My husband bought me a sewing machine three years ago for Xmas and so far it's only gotten minimal use -I used it to sew his boxers shut. I want to venture out and do some sewing crafts so this book would be a great way to finally stop saying I should and start actually doing it. <br /><br />Thanks for the great book recommendations!<br /><br />~JazzJazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248275056619931074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-7173808964220498852010-11-24T09:07:55.255-05:002010-11-24T09:07:55.255-05:00OK, I am so asking for that photography book for C...OK, I am so asking for that photography book for Christmas!
