by Conni Berfield Hood
Category: Crafts & Hobbies

To preserve the memories of Christmas past--Berfield style--author, Conni Berfield Hood compiled this variegated collection of holiday recipes, favorite traditions and decoration tips that once captivated the hearts of family members young and old. Seldom to ever use a store bought pattern, the author brought to life many of her own decorating and gift designs in keeping with the sentiment that" a homemade touch seldom dwindles from the heart and mind of the recipient and maker." Raised in Gunnison Colorado, Conni earned her first publishing credits during the early 1970's when she wrote frequent features for Women's Household magazine. Since then, numerous other articles appeared in Antique USA; The Fence Post; Mature Living; Creative Crafts and The Beacon. Conni's grown children has long since moved away, so aside from her hobbies and caring for her husband Tom and their horses, Conni loves pretending to be a grandmother to any child that with open arms and heart.
