"
A Scrapbook of Christmas Firsts: Stories to Warm Your Heart and Tips
to Simplify Your Holiday" is the first book I wrote. It is available on Amazon here
A Scrapbook of Christmas Firsts
This
book was a joy to write and it shines through in the words. I met my
co-authors online, three of them live in Ohio and two in Texas, and me
here in California. It contains snippets of cheer and time savers,
recipes, Scripture about the birth of Jesus, family fun ideas, and faith-filled hints. We include outdoor
activities, how to create a quiet place in a busy home by having a Santa
chair, green thumb tips for Christmas and true stories of our Christmas
firsts. One of us shares about the siblings she adopted and their first
Christmas in their new home. I share about camping in the Everglades at
Christmas.
Here is a review I read posted on Amazon; I don't know the reviewer but love what she wrote about my book:
"When
I first saw this book I thought it would be something I would read in a
few minutes. Instead I found myself lingering over the stories,
enjoying the little known Christmas facts, and promising myself that I
would try all the recipes. And yes, there are recipes. Truly a bonus.
The pages are filled with personal stories that will touch your heart,
and there are interesting facts that will have you thinking, "I never
knew that." I've always loved the song about chestnuts roasting on an
open fire, but I didn't know until I read this book that Mel Torme, who
originally sang it, also wrote the song in forty minutes during a 1945
summer heat wave. I'll remember that every time I hear the song from
now on.
This is a great book for any time of the year, and a perfect addition to any bookshelf."
This is a hardcover book with pretty illustrations on each page. If you buy a copy or already have a copy please review it on Amazon. Your reviews help.
