Christmas will be here before we know it and this year I would like to get Charlie and David to create arts and crafts we can use to decorate our home with. My best friend Debbie and I will be making Scrubs to give as Gifts this year. Would you like to join us for a art 7 crafts night? I will furnish the snacks.
I even have the perfect book for us to use French Country Cottage Christmas although it was hard to open the book because the cover is so pretty. If it didn’t have the title of the book and the authors name on it I would have used the cover as a picture in our living room. I love the bard doors behind the Christmas Tree that I would like to get someday but will not happen as long as we live in our Townhome.
You open the book and see all kinds or pretty ornaments that made me want to go Christmas Shopping for a Christmas Tree but its to early. You should see all of the illustrations that will take your breath away. The book begins with a section titled “planning ahead” which all of us should do. Or at least try to.
She tells us to begin in September which you can see I am late to the party but what would you expect? If my Uncle Chuck was here he would have fallen in love with “25 Inspiring Trees”. Charlie and I liked the vintage toy tree. Suzzie would have liked graceful shades of pink. Charlie even liked the graceful shades of pink which I thought he would say was to girly.
The next section was titled ‘all through the house”. I liked learning step-by-step tree layering which I’d never heard of. Thank to this unique book I need a office a actual office I could decorate for Christmas. Next was Christmas in the Cottage. No, I don’t have a Cottage. Do you? Although it would be fun to rent one and watch it actually SNOW for once. Would you like to come with me?
Next is French Country Christmas Entertaining. Before ask no, I don’t know what that is which is why we have French Country Cottage Christmas. As your browsing through the book look for recipes like “Granny’s Mashed Potato Casserole” Charlie and I can’t wait to make. Would you like to help us?
Then we came to “Handmade Natural Christmas. In here there are Step-By-Step Table Centerpiece Garland instructions Charlie and I can use for not only our table but my mother in laws. Now let’s step outside with “Christmas Cheer Outdoors”. Then we go to “Away for Christmas”. Inside her you see a bike decorated and my Vintage Camper I would like for SANTA to bring me.
French Country Cottage Christmas is the perfect coffee table book to sit out at Christmas because not only will adults enjoy the information inside the book children will love looking at all of the illustrations. As your Christmas Shopping for those you love this year make sure and pick up a copy of this book for them.
