I’m so excited to share with you TWO wonderful holiday books from Country Living/Hearst Books. The first is by the fabulous Serena Thompson. I not only met Serena recently, but had the great privilege of walking the Alameda Flea Market with her and good pal Heather Bullard. It was a day I’ll never forget. Serena is a very kind soul, wife, mother of 4 boys, Contributing Editor to Country Living and runs the ever famous Farm Chicks Antique Show in Spokane, Washington. And if you think her blog is breathtaking, wait until you get a load of her holiday book, The Farm Chicks Christmas: Merry Ideas for the Holidays, now available in paperback!
I adore how Serena savors the simple things in life. She shares sweet family traditions and lots and lots of inspiration for creating cherished memories in your home and with your family. This is a book I wish I’d had when starting our family.
Her holiday displays have me drooling. You will soon find me nestled up on the couch with my laptop shopping Etsy and Ebay for vintage treasures like the ones she shares in her delightful photographs.
Serena has lots of delicious holiday treats she shares with full recipes for each (and cute blank recipe cards to share your favorites with others) and includes Ways to Ward Off the Chill, a compilation of delicious drinks perfect to pour from the Thermos. My favorite- Warm Lemonade with peppermint stick candy as flavor stir sticks.
Serena even takes you along to visit her friends and admire their Christmas decorations!
The Farm Chicks Christmas: Merry Ideas for the Holidays will inspire you to make handmade crafts, re-think holiday decorating, wrap beautiful packages, and create delicious food gifts. There’s even Farm Chick Style adhesive labels in the back to use on your treats! Of all the things included, this wonderland of a book left me wishing for something I rarely do- snow. The Farm Chicks Christmas is the perfect Christmas gift for your best girlfriend, your sister or mother, and of course, yourself.
………………….
This second book is far FAR more than a book. It’s a DIYer’s dream- Country Living Deck the Halls: Christmas Notecards, Labels, Ornaments, and Other Festive & Fun Projects by Katy McColl, former Executive Editor of O at Home and Country Living. With this delightfully illustrated book, you’ll be inspired to make, bake, decorate, craft, cut, perf, paint, gift, wrap, pack, ship, and then… do it all again!
Deck the Halls is a very chunky, all-inclusive package that includes projects with punch-out templates and patterns…
recipes, recipe cards and stickers…
pages of punch-out ornamental birds to tuck into your Christmas tree and other paper ornaments to hang…
Name tags, stickers, disguises, diy coupons, adhesive gift tags, place cards, and napkin rings…
even gift boxes to construct!
It’s more fun than you can have in any given day- another perfect gift for friends and family, and yes, YOU!

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Me..me..me – would you just pick me??
Love these books, what great Christmas projects.
Remember the anticipation of Christmas morning when you were a child…the buterflies in your tummy, the “I can’t sleep, Mommy” whine, the sweet smell of hot cocoa and muffins as you burst from your bedroom and bolted for the Christmas tree when it was FINALLY time… That’s the feeling I get anytime I get a new book. I would love to have that experience with either one of these books.

I would be thrilled with either book !
They both look filled with awesome ideas.
These books look so adorable and fun! Happy Holidays!

I already own a copy of the Book Serena wrote, but have a good friend that would love one, and Christmas is all about giving, right? The other book looks incredible! I can sit and read these kinds of books over and over this time of year. Thank you for having this giveaway!
Love your blog and LOVE these books! I tried going with the trends of a more modern Christmas, but I always go back to my love of the vintage and traditional so I have a very special appreciation for both of these book!

Oh, how I would love to savor and use these books to bring fresh ideas to my Christmas season. Thank you.
Christmas crafts make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Now that I have a baby and a toddler, I have way less time to do them. Sometimes just curling up with a sweet book full of beautiful ideas for a few minutes in a busy day can satisfy my crafting desire! Neat books…I’d love to win one, of course!
I love your blog! It is one of only a couple that I check each day. I don’t want to miss a single inspiring and cool thing! Fingers crossed for the great giveaway prize….Thanks!
Beautiful tomes!I’m glad that a mainstream publisher like Country Living is embracing the “alt” craft style as evident in “Deck the Halls”!
