4 stars for sharing festive earth friendly ideas. We all need to make more with our own hands and spend less on box store plastic.

This is a lovely book. What is funny to me is how many times the author said how simple her recipes and projects are but I would disagree. They looked over whelming to me. Not all of them but many. I also didn't like that the very first paragraph talked about the Christmas season and didn't mention Jesus at all. To the author it was just a time of gathering with friends and family. It worries me to see this happening in today's society. Over all I did enjoy reading and looking through this book.

Some lovely ideas but I’m not sure I’d ever have the time to do them…
