- Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 2011 September #2
If you're looking for nostalgia or a retro style, this is the perfect book to help you plan your Christmas decorations. Separated by decade, the designs and crafts quickly call to mind bygone days of Yuletide joy. Each chapter includes a "Style File" explaining the top trends seen in the decorations from each decade, how to decorate a tree in the style of the decade, and how to get the overall look of the era. The final chapter presents recipes for Christmas candy popular during the featured decades. Of special note is the art in the back; Waggoner encourages, "Scan or photocopy them, resize them or embellish them, and use them in your own cards, place cards, stickers, gift tags, ornaments, and accessories." This is a well-thought-out themed book for any craft collection.

I loved the Sequined Balls, too, which remind me of the Christmas ornaments we had when I was a kid. - "Holiday Cooking & Crafting" Booksmack! 9/1/11 (c) Copyright 2011.
