I have most of the books in this series, but Book 2 is a definite favorite from which I've made many projects and recipes. My daughter and I made the Snow Couple bells together and had so much fun doing that project. I've also made many, many of the Primitive Stockings from my husband's old, worn work socks and given them to our grown kids and their families. I had such fun one year making the Bright and Shiny Word Wrap wrapping paper. The Mitten Coasters were another neat project. I want to make lots more of these, as they are a great addition to a gift of hot chocolate or tea mixes. All of the recipes in this book are outstanding, too. There is a particularly nice selection of cookie and candy recipes. As in all of the Gooseberry Patch Christmas series, the photography is just excellent and really gets one in the Christmas spirit - any time of year!
