This is probably my favorite of the three Engelbreit books I brought home from the book sale, in that it contains the most project ideas I'll probably actually make. There's a quartet of two-dimensional gingerbread houses that would look pretty awesome made up in felt, so I'd better get busy.

This is a Christmas craft book. Some of the recipes look quite yummy. Engelbreit's own illustrations sprinkled throughout are fun. The craft ideas, not so much. Either very unhelpful directions for the couple of projects I did like, or a lot of "Why go to the effort to make that?"

Beautiful ideas but a lot of work to execute them

This is feel good Christmas book with fun ideas for activities and patterns for both family & friends. I love her artwork which is part of the joy of reading this book.
