I ordered this book in August..to get started on Christmas projects....I like the book..however there isn't anything really 'new' in here...I liked the front cover..as it reminded me of 'Tilda' and Sweedish type designs..but the book isn't filled with such things..it does have a few lovely photos..but I'm wanting a 'full on'..'pretty ''country' 'romantic' 'shabby' type of book..and so far haven't found a Christmas one that fits the bill..this isn't that book...the projects are quick in most cases..but not what I would want in the house...

Christmas crafting in No Time is a wonderful Christmas book full of projects to make your home, party or Christmas dinner go with a bang and to provide gifts for friends and family. You can stamp, do papier mache, cook, sew and decorate the table with this beautiful book. The projects are easy to make and the instructions easy to follow. Each project is well photographed. This is a folksy-crafty book. Some of the projects do have a Scandinavian look - especially the mice and the stockings on the front cover - these are the best projects in my opinion. You can involve children in the making of many of these projects. I also liked the cards section and the papier mache tree baubles, the reindeer are great fun too. A lovely book with something for everyone. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

This is SUCH a lovely book! Even my children are inspired by it and are nagging me to begin something! Many of the ideas are quite simple yet very pretty and the templates provided in the back are excellent and could be adapted for other projects too.Many of the creations can be made from inexpensive and easily available materials. Several of the ideas have a scandinavian look which is simple yet beautiful. I shall def be making several projects for Christmas and shall simplify others for the children to make.There are also some food gift ideas.
