SUMMARY- This book is even more dissorganized than the "Creative Ideas for Christmas" annuals. It would have helped if they'd named the things the same in the index as they did in the titling of the projects. It takes me a couple of hours just to do the Table of Contents for each of these books. I usually love these potpourri projects books, but their organization makes it such a chore to find anything in them.
