Excellent presentation and accompanying text. 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 16 people found this review helpful.

I have seen this book at the publisher's and it is outstanding. The photographs are exceptional and the descriptions well composed and pertinent. You have, however, left out the name of the CO-AUTHOR, Mary Miley Theobald. I hope you will correct this as both professionals worked long and hard to assemble the edition.

Lovely, Natural Christmas Decorations 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I've used this book over and over to decorate my home at Christmas with Southern style arrangements. Demonstrating these techniques for garden clubs and at libraries, I always found a ready audience for this and it was really easy. I learned it all from this book.
The supplies are easy to gather (pinecones, apples, oranges, holly, greenery, wire, ribbon, etc.). The results are spectacular. Your arrangements will look very professional!
Each page shows four or more drawings showing the steps for attaching the pieces to make a different decoration. It shows various wreaths, table decorations, swags, roping, corner accents for doors, mantel decorations and an herb kissing ball.
If you ever visited Williamsburg at Christmas, you will want to recreate these beautiful arrangements in your home. This website gives you an idea of the variety you can create:

Editorial Review:

Colonial Williamsburg is famous for the wreaths and other exterior and interior decorations that adorn its houses, shops, and exhibition buildings at Yuletide. This how-to book contains directions for making forty-two beautiful decorations including an apple cone and an herb wreath. Step-by-step drawings and thirty-five color photographs show how to create each decoration at home

Outstanding! TNT recipes from across the country 5 out of 5 stars.
21 of 23 people found this review helpful.

Although I have over 2,000 cookbooks, this is one of my top favorites. It contains recipes from customers all over the country -- and almost all are preceded by descriptions of why their family loves them, how many people beg for them, etc. Many also include directions for packaging as gifts. The book also contains cute illustrations, many of which provide great ideas for decorating one's own gift containers. There are also a number of quotations, some of which you may want to incorporate in your own crafts. There is nothing fancy about this book or the recipes -- it is primarily down home cooking, and everything I've tried has been delectable -- from layered cookie mix in a jar to main dishes. VERY highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

Lovely 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This book was full of beautiful snowy white Christmas pictures. More pictures than projects, more of a decorating book. A lovely coffee table book, especially during the holidays.

Editorial Review:

The many shades of white, beautifully complemented by the velvety verdure of evergreens and ivy, are a perfect choice for holiday trimmings--the decorations, the accents and accessories, the table settings. Glowing with candlelight and sparkling with sun-kissed snow, these pages are filled with glorious arrays of white and green. Noted designer Tricia Foley has a way with white: dozens of elegant little ornaments, a creamware-bedecked table, a frosty tree encrusted with crystal and silver decorations, an all-white gingerbread house, even a boxwood-swagged gauzy bed canopy. "Like a Currier and Ives print or a snow-capped New England steeple," Foley reminds us, "the image of the perfect white Christmas is firmly etched in our minds." Her visual feast shows how truly stunning holiday decor can be when planned in a symphony of whites. --Amy Handy

Good Food Good Ideas 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I have most of the books in this series and each one is a delight. Full of ideas for making the gifts you give really stand out. When I make something from one of these books I always take the recipe with me.. I know I will be asked for it! The only draw back is that some of the recipes call for several ingredients and unless you have a well stocked pantry it can be a tad costly. However do not let that stop you. These books are a great source of inspitation and ideas.

excellent variety, something for everyone 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I love this book. It has something for everybody. Even people who don't think of themselves as crafty will enjoy this book. And there are so many fun things in it that I have found something that I didn't notice before everytime I look through the book. And it has different skill levels too. There are projects you can do with the kids, or if you are ambitious, there are detailed christmas villages you can make. Even the recipes for holiday cooking are fun and easy. If you want a good all inclusive book for the holidays this is the one. Another book I would recommend for the holidays is "Old-Fashioned Christmas Favorites". It has great traditions and recipes that are old time favorites that may have been forgotten.

Traditional Christmas is Wonderful 5 out of 5 stars.

This is one of the best Christmas books I have ever found. There is a second one called Traditional Christmas Two that is also very good. They have everything from decoration crafts and ideas to gifts that you can make to recipies for those holiday meals and intertaining. I had both books and lost them in a move and did not rest until I managed to replace them. They are great!

Some thing for everyone 5 out of 5 stars.
17 of 17 people found this review helpful.

Down Santa Claus Lane is a gentle meander along the Victorian by-ways of yester-year, crammed with lush reditions of Father Christmas in various guises. The charts are drawn from old art work sources such as post-cards and Christmas cards. The use of colour is imaginative and trouble has been taken to find many styles. In this book Santa comes in red, yellow, green, blue, and brown. Something for everyone. There are thirty different charts, each one easy to read and the finished stitchery is displayed in numerous ways, from straight forward framed pictures to cushions, pillows, and stockings. There is even a chart dedicated to baby's first Christmas, surely no doting grandma could resist the urge to stitch that one? As this is an American book there are a few all American Santas. This is a truely super book, well up to the house standard of Leisure Arts and one of my particular treasures.

Down Santa Claus Lane 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Beautiful book includes many cross-stitch patterns of victorian and patriotic Santa's re-created from antique postcards. Projects include framed pictures, stocking, pillows, and ornaments. If you collect santa's or postcards you'll love this book.

Don't bother... 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I am glad that I didn't pay full price for this book. These are the same ideas that you have seen in every other book on homemade Christmas gifts. Most of these I wouldn't even make as they look cheap. If you want a good book on this subject, try The Spirit of Christmas by Leisure Arts

Editorial Review:

Filled with many enticing images of holiday goodies--both the edible and the decorative kinds--Better Homes & Gardens' Christmas: 101 Wondrous Ideas makes it easy to get into the seasonal spirit, generally with minimal effort and little time. From festive table toppers to tempting recipes, handsome tree trimmings to quick, attractive gifts and impressive illumination ideas, this beautifully photographed guide offers good step-by-step directions for a huge number of projects, including colorful wreaths, pretty wrappings, yummy candies and cookies, easy-to-make ornaments, and lovely luminarias. The simplicity of most items means that even beginners--or crafters of any skill level who are really pressed for time--can find great success here. --Amy Handy
