So funny!
As soon as I saw this book I had to have it! The glitter title! The hysterical writing! The ridiculous crafts! The gorgeous photos! This book has it all and will be my go-to gift until everyone I know has a copy.

“I’ve never written a book before, right? But I sure invented a bunch of rules based on how I thought authors wrote books. You know, all those classic author rules like: Write everything by yourself with help from no one completely stream of consciousness and zero plan in one long word processing document and then print it out and circle a bunch of bad writing in red pen and completely start over after a random but incredible burst of inspiration and then turn it in at exactly 11:59 on the night it’s due…” An avid reader, I am used to author’s having organized their thoughts into cohesiveness. This is the first craft book I have read and reviewed, that was not well organized in the attempts to be funny. Actually, it was organized into chapters, such as The Sh… trophy, Pompoms to Pom(p) you up!!!, Being Gay is Actually a Craft.” It is mostly the run-on sentences, stream-of consciousness chatty you-can-do-this friend dialogue that drove me crazy. Again, I am now sure that I am not the target audience. I have done crafting for decades. Not everything turns out the way you want it to be, like this book. When I wrote the title of the book, Word warned me “This language may be offensive to your reader.” I found that ‘crappy’ word choices were used more than necessary in the book. (I should have known better, given the title.) On the plus side, the pictures are bright and colorful. A pink rickrack bookmark is sewn into the binding. Cool! On the minus, I would not keep any of these crafts and feel like they would contribute to the waste stream with little redeeming creative, aesthetic value. “I have some really good news. I recently discovered that you can make your own trophy. For literally anything. Which means we can all become the champions of whatever we want, whenever we want!” If this is what you think, you might enjoy this Sh… Craft Club book.
