This beautifully illustrated book by M.E. fails at it's completeness, in that it does not deal with the whole process of crafting for Christmas. It relies too heavily on pre-manufactured items that work more like kit assembly than ' from - scratch construction. Perhaps this is a shortcoming of my male influence because my wife enjoys the book and adds it to our living room coffee table Christmas book collections. WJS 1/21/24

Beautifully colored pages and filled with Engelbreit's style. I've been a fan since she started her gift cards. I created one of her tree skirt designs from Bucilla kits. Find a multitude of crafts from clay to her cross stitch designs. A how to make instructions with a pattern, details written out. The colors and design are just devine. Copyright in 2001, now 2021, i find all her designs still fitting and classy. Ideas like a snow doily, clay ornaments, cross stitch oven mittens, and quilted table mat are unique with her design eye and color combos. Photos are clear and print is a simple easy to read font. No yada yada in the text, its a verb in front to explain what to do next, ie cut, trace, layer, etc. She even color codes her pages like a pattern catalog. Each page has a beautiful boarder and looks like a wall paper. I quite enjoyed this book. I may not make it all, but it I am inspired. Read full review

I liked the quality of this stamp. Mary Engelbreit stamps like this one makes me feel confident that a good image almost always results. This stamp; like other ME stamps has alot of detail work. The finished image is nice, but the work that goes into the details is very time consuming.
Neat book
