175 Easy-To-Do Christmas Crafts  
This is a neat book with lots of Christmas crafts that even a 4 year old can do.  Ideas from home made ornaments to decorations around the home and much more.  I really enjoyed this book and had fun doing the simple crafts - especially when I was baby sitting.  This book is recommended for ages 4-8 and uses things from around the house, like a empty paper towel roll, regular paper, and more.
 
101 Christmas Crafts 
This has more ideas for Christmas crafts.  It's much more advance than the book above.  There are ideas for ornaments, decorations, gifts and more.  This book is idea more for the serious crafty person.  There is a good deal of sewing and using a hot glue gun etc.  There are things in this book that look victorian and things that can make your home look like a white Christmas, and lots of other neat ideas.
 
 
 
 
Christmas Crafts and Entertaining  
This is a neat craft book with lots of fun projects and gift ideas.  Also included are some neat recipes.  This book really is a treasure and has gotten a lot of use in my home.  This book has everything from simple stencils to Christmas quilts. And recipes as easy as everyday cookies to candies like those in the stores.  There are ideas for Christmas breakfast and through out the day till the Christmas dinner.
 
101 Stocking Stuffers 
Money tight?  This book has a lot of neat ideas for stocking stuffers that are not very expensive.  This book isn't all that expensive itself either.  Some of the crafts are a little challenging, but most are actually easy. 
 
 
 
Christmas Gifts Under $10  
Here is another great craft book if you are tight on money.  It is filled with lots of neat ideas at a low cost.  One thing I really liked is this book gives a break down of how much the materials for the crafts cost - on average.  One project I admit I spend around $15 but then I also picked some expensive material instead of what they recommended, but if you follow what is recommended everything will be around or under $10.
 
Christmas Keepsakes 
This book is perfect for the crosstitcher in the family.  My mom does counted crosstitch and has made use of this book every year.  There are things from stockings to dollies and more.  Defiantly a dream for anyone who does crosstitch.
 
 
 
 Christmas Gifts in Plastic Canvas 
Great for anyone who works with plastic canvas.  My fiancee's mom has this book and it has been used so many times the pages are falling out from over use.  A lot of neat ideas from tissue box covers to picture frames, and even ornaments and houses.  Because of this book I might get into working with plastc canvas as well... thinking about it.
 
 Beautiful Christmas Jewelry 
This is a great book for children.  Easy to make Christmas jewelry from earrings to necklaces and lots more.  My little sister, who will be 12 on Feb 2, 2000, has this book and loves making the jewelry.  She is always writing me letters and including pictures of her wearing the jewelry she made.
 Christmas Iron-on 
This has to be my FAVORITE craft book.  I love decorating t-shirts and now have more than enough t-shirts and sweaters for Christmas for myself.  I even made alot for family.  One of my favorite designs is the one with a Christmas tree and Santa eating cookies next to it, another has Roudolph and the rest of the raindeer pulling Santa's sled.
