The crafts in this book are super-adorable. Like, honestly, you could coo over how cute some of them are. But unless you're really artistic--and I am not--I'm not sure you could make them look anything like the photos in the book. If you are artistic you could probably make some great decorations or gifts from this book and if you aren't it's still fun to read about it and look at the pictures. (Provided by publisher) ( )

I got this book as a free eARC (Advanced Reader Copy) from netgalley.com. This does not affect my review or opinion of this book.

This book delivers what every craft book should do, inspiration! The projects are fun, do-able, and are easily tweaked to be used for other projects and occasions. The book is aesthetically pleasing too, projects are well demonstrated and the photography is gorgeous! I don't usually come across craft books that I actually enjoy flipping through without getting bored.

If you are a crafter, this book (and its projects) will make a great edition to your library.

This is the type of book I still prefer in a traditional paper print format. The photographs are wonderful and I would appreciate looking at them even when I was not in the middle of crafting. stephen Brown has made this a real celebration book. These are the kinds of crafts a family would love doing together and appreciate the memories year after year.
I enjoyed the poems about the projects, but wish there would have been one more to end the book, give it a more finished feeling.

The first 20% of this book is a wonderful introduction to tools and materials, followed by excellent tips and techniques.
The crafts are for everything one needs to celebrate a winter holiday, from forests and village buildings to snowflakes, snow people, glitter gnomes and reindeer!
I did think Candy Claus would take a higher skill level and more time than the other projects.
I will be adding this to my wish list for a paper bound version.

I read this an an ecopy from NetGalley and would prefer to own a paperbound version myself. ( )
