The holidays have a kind of magic that lures you into thinking you’ll be able to make perfectly decorated gingerbread men, give a gorgeous handmade gift to everyone in the tri-county area, and put on an elegant dinner that will even impress your mother-in-law. But we all know that handmade crafts can lead to disappointment on the faces of gift recipients who would rather receive “real soap” from Bath & Body Works.
Heather Mann celebrates this creative process, but from the other side, in her new book: CraftFail: When Homemade Goes Horribly Wrong. Because even if you can’t build a picture-perfect gingerbread house (see below), why shouldn’t you laugh while trying? Laugh with us below and enter to WIN a copy of the book. Happy Holidays!
