The Spirit of Christmas: Creative Holiday Ideas (Spirit of Christmas, Vol 16)

Rating:
Summary: A disappointment
Review: I purchased this book anticipating the same variety of projects the previous 15 books in the series offer. I was disappionted. Most of the projects in this book use beads, ribbon, and candles. There are no cross stitch projects, no papercrafts such as scherenschnitte or paper twist, no child friendly crafts section. I understand that there are trends in crafting, but the appeal of the previous books in the series was the spectrum of projects, and decorating motifs. The decorating ideas in this book are mainly elegant, fancy, victorian. Using similar ideas in different color schemes. None of which I would consider child friendly.
