The theme of this month's box is "Keep Keen With Creativity." How fun! This list was included, detailing the contents of this month's package.
Journal It! Perspectives in Creative Journaling by Jenny Doh - List Price $21.95
I am using the list price here because this book seems to be out of print, and the resellers are charging anywhere from $2 to $30+, so I thought the list price would be the fairest. This is a big deviation from what I've come to expect from Beautiful Madness. They usually send great reads, but this is more of an instructional craft book. It's a beautiful book, though! It's almost lovely enough to be a coffee table book. From Amazon:
Journaling and collage come together in Journal It!, where 19 mixed-media artists showcase their signature techniques, tips, and creativity boosters. The featured work ranges from lettering expert Jill K. Berry's beautifully calligraphied travel journals to Jeannette Sclar's whimsical gardening books, and the techniques include everything from toner-based transfer to stitching with fabric and paper. With over 200 inspirational photos to guide them, even beginners can create works of art right from the start.
Bob Ross Funko Pop! - Value $10.70
I cannot tell you how excited I was to see this in my box. LOVE! This is such a great rendition of Bob Ross, beloved public television art instructor. We love Funko Pop! at our house, but my favorites are the ones in my collection, where this little guy is headed.
Paper Mache Book Box by Darice - Value $7.27
This little box is so cute! I have several fun ideas for using it, but my nine-year-old wanted to decorate it immediately. He put a book title on it: "Box" by (my son's name). That was really clever.
Journaling Supplies - Value $8?
It's hard to assign a value to this, there isn't much information supplied about it, so this is kind of a guess. There are several sheets of punched paper in different colors and textures, plus some writing utensils and paper clips. I have to say, I have never seen rose gold paper clips, and now I don't know why they aren't always rose gold!
The Verdict: Beautiful Madness Book Case is one of my favorite subscription boxes! Having said that, this wasn't my favorite month. I miss having a good read I can sink my teeth into! Some of the best books I have read over the past couple of years have come from Beautiful Madness. I am also not really into journaling, but I think this would be an amazing box for someone who is. I sure do love my Bob Ross Funko Pop! though! The value this month comes to about $48, which is a little more than the cost of the box. That's great for a book box!
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you will receive the Chapter Eighteen/November box.
