A Book That Takes Its Time

I saw this at Michael's and decided to grab it on Amazon because it was cheaper. This book is such a treasure. It really helps you to have some self-care, me time on a budget. It is BEAUTIFUL, the art work and paper craft goodies are so sweet and fun. I love that there are things to take out and poke in envelopes and fill out and share. It's crafty and also kind of like a journal, and also has some great articles in there to read as well. I bought one for me and then decided to buy one for a swapping friend of mine, too. She also loves it!

This book is very informative, fun, and interactive. I like it so much that I bought another one in the series.

This book is not only beautiful in its art and aesthetic, but has so much substance as well. With so many interactive activities and writing prompts, post cards, and so much more, it really helps in slowing down to reflect, and enjoying life on a deeper level. Whereas I bought a copy as a gift a while back, I’ve also more recently received a free copy from Workman Publishing in exchange for a free and unbiased review, and I was delighted because it truly is a joy to work (and play) through!

I’ve gifted this book twice now for friends who lost loved ones recently. They both loved it. I have one for myself that I like just to slow down and focus on something meaningful during my busy days. I love the little projects on the articles, and the postcards which I use, and they pull outs. This is a great gift. Worth every penny.

This is my first Flow product, so the fact that some of the content is apparently recycled from previous publications isn't a problem for me. It's a beautiful book, of course, packed with ideas, art, paper crafting supplies, prompts for lists and musings, and lots more. A concern for me is that I was looking forward to using the "bound in cards" included, and this is difficult. The cards are actually meant to be postcards, which I could use, as I belong to a postcard swap. Unfortunately, they don't meet U.S. Postal Service size specs. A postcard mailed in the U.S. must be at least 3.5 inches by 5 inches; these postcards are 3.5 inches by 4-3/8 inches. They're formatted as postcards, with an address space on the reverse side of the art side, but in order to mail one in the U.S. I'd need to put it in an envelope--then it would cease to be a postcard and become a small note card. I know this wouldn't bother many people, but for me it's a disappointment. That said, there is much, much to use and enjoy in this wonderfully designed and rendered book.

Such an enlightening book, that really made a difference in my life. A great way to practice mindfulness in different ways that you didn’t even think of. Reminds you of your creative side and makes you think. My only complaint is that I have ended up going through this book too fast! I have now bought this book for friends and family because I want them to experience it too!

A beautiful book with fun extras that you can interact with. I love it. It came in a sturdy box and looked new. Very happy

I never review things I buy on Amazon (or any other place for that matter) but I did want to take the time to share a review for this one. I came across this book at Michaels last year, it instantly called my attention, but as many other books I buy I left it untouched in my shelf for a few months. When I picked it back up I had started doing the 5 am club routine and this became my scape space every morning and my favorite activity. It has so many different crafts and readings to increase creativity, reach your inner child and really be able to “enjoy the moment”. This is the third time I’m purchasing it as a gift for my friend. I absolutely loved it and it’s worth every penny if you have the time to spend it on yourself

Uno de mis libros favoritos de este año, temas interesantes y saca tu lado crativo

Lots to work on and will give hours of fun.

Es un libro especial. Está lleno de frases, actividades, pegatinas, postales... Ideal si te gusta el tema de la creatividad. Para una tarde de domingo, es genial, ya que entretiene. Es muy grueso y de calidad.

Eu estou amando! É um livro para ver com calma, aproveitar cada página, cada imagem, colocar em prática. Uma papelaria incrível, vários mimos dentro. Certamente um presente que me dei, mas pode ser um lindo presente para outros.

Of all the Flow books, this one is my all-time favourite. This stays on my nightstand and whenever I need to feel comforted or cheered up a bit, reading this really helps. I like to leaf through it before I go to sleep. The illustrations are beautiful and the articles soothing and relaxing. It's full of cute little paper goodies as well - teeny notebooks, illustrated postcards, stickers etc. It's just an amazing, gorgeous book. Money well spent.
