Gooseberry Patch Christmas

I look forward to the Gooseberry Patch Christmas books each year. They always have great ideas!

I love this series of books. They have the best recipes and this second edition is no different. So far, my favorite is the third one but I've bought all of them and continue to do so every year. Yes, they're really THAT good! You just can't go wrong with the decorating ideas, gift ideas, and best of all the RECIPES! I use all the recipes throughout the year and my husband calls me a gourmet cook. I also buy these for friends for gifts but my husband doesn't want me to - he wants everyone to think that I am a gourmet!

I saw the decorated jars on the front cover and had to purchase Gooseberry Patch 2. After reading cover to cover I couldn't wait to start making Holiday crafts in July! I made the Chilli Chaser Bags and the decorated jars for a pantry fundraiser, and they turned out just like the photos in the book. The directions for crafts and recipes are easy to follow, especially with the beautiful photos of the finished products. There are several reproducibles to help make your crafts look professional, and with the authors permission to do so! The recipes are enticing and really get you in the mood for Holiday crafting and cooking. I have five friends who have purchased Gooseberry Patch 2 after seeing my copy!

What a fantastic book! Full of great ideas and gifts for the holiday season. Step by step instructions to make wreaths and decorations, counted cross-stich designs, outstanding recipes for any occasion, and much more. An absolute must have! You won't be disappointed.

Each page of Gooseberry Patch Christmas Book 2 is filled with creative country/down home ideas. The ideas are simple with beautiful pictures and easy to follow directions made from easy to find supplies. There are wonderful recipes for gifts or Christmas dinners. The hardest thing about this book was "which craft or recipe do I do first?". Don't miss this one!
