Title: Leisure Arts Presents: Creative Ideas for Christmas 1987
Editor(s): Nancy Janice Fitzpatrick

SUMMARY- I think Joyce M. Gillis' Santa on the cover is one of the cutest I've ever seen. The book was worth the price of admission for me just for that! Not a lot else really grabbed me, though - waaaay too many wreaths, which I've started to see as the last refuge of "I need projects to fill space and don't have enough time to develop something more interesting." I am convinced that is what killed "Crafting Traditions."
