When I think of Christmas, a lot of things come to mind - food, family, fun and, of course, decorating. Who better to help guide you through the seasonal activity of decorating than Martha Stewart. Throughout this book, Martha provides great tips and excellent photos to assist you in creating the perfect holiday setting for your home, both inside and out. Some of the ideas may be a bit too advanced or complex, but for those who wish to have a festive environment, this is the book for you. As always, these are guidelines that can be adapted for anyone. For example, maybe you are not able to create a wreath from scratch. You might take an example and customize it for yourself. If you can't make a gingerbread house, make the ornaments instead. With easy-to-follow recipies and beautiful illustrations, anyone can use this book to make their home an inviting place for the holidays. Many other well-known personalities have their version of holiday decorating, but Martha Stewart maintains the classic good taste we expect from her. Tradition, good taste and creativity - all can be found in this book. Happy Holidays!Read full review
I love to watch Martha's show and these holiday books are a great help to make gifts, decorate, and prepare food and home for the holidays! Buying books on Ebay is great because you can find out of print titles and get so much for your money. You can read or have info on nearly any topic and find what you are looking for here! You can also sell on Ebay when you are finished with a title, and then you can bid on a new one for yourself! It is a fantastic way to read more for young and old!
This is an excellent Christmas idea book that helps with decorating the inside and outside of your home. There are many wonderful recipes that would be great at Christmas or anytime of the year. The book is beautifully illustrated. There are several pictures of Martha and even her black chows (which are now deceased). The chapters include the subjects of wreaths and swags, cookie recipes and packing tips, stockings, ornaments including cookies and a gingerbread house with the template, gift ideas, candle making, wrapping including Martha's favorite bow, and lastly outdoor displays from lighting to swags and garlands. This is an wonderful book for the Christmas enthusiast! My book is a 144 page hardcover with a 1995 copyright. Martha is on the cover.
I purchased this book to give me ideas for making homemade gifts for friends and family. The book was full of great ideas that are doable and present well. The photographs are also beautiful. Instructions are clear and given step by step so it's easy to follow.
For the price you can’t beat the tips that are offered.
