Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper quilling is a favorite crafting pastime but is by no means new. This paper art has existed since the invention of paper. Paper quilling is the art of cutting paper into long thin strips, rolling and pinching the pieces into different shapes, and then gluing the shapes together to form decorative art. Paper quilling projects can be used to decorate cards, boxes, gift bags, picture frames, or even be made into 3D stand-alone art pieces. The Christmas season is here, and along with it comes the yearly rush to send out and give away holiday cards to your friends and family members. When it comes to Christmas cards, some of us like to go with the old stand-by box sets (JAM offers several lovely options) while others like to take the homemade route. If you are more prone to put yourself into the later category, this post is for you. Those who keep up to date with paper crafting trends are probably familiar with quilling. For those who are not, here is a short explanation. Quilling is the practice of curling ans shaping strips of paper in order to create larger decorative shapes and designs. Here, I will show you how to use quilling to make your own beautiful and decorative Christmas wreath gifts!

Bounds Award for Best Newcomer (Winner) 2013 Aurora Award for Best Related Work (Short-List) "Masterful horror. In Marshall’s dark landscapes, the metaphors are feral and they’ll turn on you in a heartbeat." --M.R. Carey, Author of The Girl with All the Gifts “. . . A tour de force of imagination, this remarkable debut collection uses the conventions of dark fantasy and horror as the framework for some of speculative fiction’s most unusual stories. VERDICT Fans of experimental fiction and exceptional writing should find a wealth of enjoyment here.” --Library Journal, Starred Review ". . . Amidst moments of body horror and hauntings galore, miracles and expressions of joy are liberally sprinkled, offering moments that lingered in my thoughts well after I’d finished the story. . . . I cannot wait to see what Marshall conjures next."--San Francisco Book Review "The stories in Helen Marshall’s Hair Side, Flesh Side occur in the interstices of our most fundamental relations. Brothers and sisters, parents and children, lovers find the space between them grown strange, shifting, as the familiar becomes the site and the source of startling transformation. Elegant, unsettling, these stories leave the reader no less changed than their characters. Highly recommended work." --John Langan, Author of Technicolor and Other Revelations and House of Windows ". . . Hair Side, Flesh Side is a strong first collection of speculative fiction borne out of faded manuscripts, old libraries and the memories of the past. However, it’s how Marshall sees us reconcile these ghosts with the world of the living that give her stories the weight of immediacy. She is a talent to be discovered." --The National Post

Book excerpt: After a devastating MS diagnosis, one woman shares her inspirational journey in gratitude and generosity--in this New York Times bestseller. At age thirty-five, Cami Walker was burdened by an intensified struggle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological disease that left her debilitated and depressed. Then she received an uncommon "prescription" from South African healer Mbali Creazzo: Give away 29 gifts in 29 days. 29 Gifts is the insightful story of the author's life change as she embraces and reflects on the naturally reciprocal process of giving. Many of Walker's gifts were simple--a phone call, spare change, a Kleenex. Yet the acts were transformative. By Day 29, not only had Walker's health and happiness improved, but she had also created a worldwide giving movement. 29 Gifts shows how a simple, daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...we have tried here to present designs known to be Sioux, for use in Sioux schools. The purpose of the book is a practical one. Though we have striven for accuracy, our aim has not been an exhaustive scientific study. Rather, it has been to bring together a representative collection of designs and to explain them, so that practical workers, both students and teachers, may be able to recognize the bead and quillwork of the western Sioux and to make it for themselves. The art has changed in the past and those who understand its style and uses may use their imaginations to develop it still more, while keeping it Indian and Sioux."--Introduction, page 9.
