There's something about a weekend that sparks creativity. For most of us, it's a stretch of uninterrupted free time when we can explore ideas and embark on new projects. This book showcases projects that average craft dabblers (without any advanced skills in a particular genre) can complete successfully.

Soleil Moon Frye's new book will feature more than 15 parties, such as the fairy party, the pirate party and the movie-on-the-lawn party; you can throw for your kids that are not only inexpensive but wildly inventive. Each party in the book will include two crafts, one game and one recipe - ALL of which you can put together with your child.

Based around the seasons, this work shows how to carve a perfect pumpkin, make old-fashioned popcorn in a pan, make quick yet effective Halloween costumes for kids and more. It also includes recipes such as Erbazone (Spinach and Cheese Tart), Osso Buco, Simple Risotto, Homemade Pizza, Asparagus with Fried Eggs, and Sugar Cookies.
