To me, crafting is like a big, warm, gooey fudge brownie. Bottom line? She has to craft hundreds of table centerpieces for the upcoming Craft Olympics, sort out her life, and figure out what she's going to do with 350lbs of German glass glitter sent to her by mistake (vs the 3.5lbs she ordered). The premise is really that Star digs herself a big hole and winds up in a lot of hot water with her family, job, and just about everywhere else with her flighty "take no responsibility for myself and finish no project" attitude. Chloe, though on camera loves all things crafty, has some dirty secrets and is building up some seriously dark karma. To round out the craftista trio, there was the thin, angry, selfish TV personality "Crafty" Chloe. Ofie is a plump stay-at-home mother with a tight budget who has uncontrollable urges to buy crafting supplies and spends more time crafting than doing anything else. Her best friend Ofie is an obsessed crafter who tries a little bit of everything with heart and enthusiasm. Star is a curvy, young, colorfully dressed artist who views crafting as something that's beneath her. She really sucked me into the world of her book, which is set in Phoenix, though I was put off by the characters initially. I was enthralled with Kathy's ability to embellish and describe each scene with such care. The cover (which is actually glittered in spots) beckoned me to open up and dive into the world of Kathy's creation. Several days ago my copy of Waking Up in the Land of Glitter arrived, and I couldn't help but dive right in.
