Following up on the successful Everything Is Wild and Free puzzle
and stationery set comes a new group of paper products from Flow
and the artist Valesca van Waveren. Taking as its inspiration a
quote from Francis Hodgson Burnett, and translating it into
stunning images that capture the magic we find in nature,
particularly on a starlit night, Everything Is Made Out of Magic is
a suite of pure delight. Everything Is Made Out of Magic Wrapping
Paper and Gift Tagselevate the wrapping to make package a gift with
twelve full, folded sheets of wrapping paper (which unfold to

The pages of The Confession Album contain 100 questions. Your part
is collecting the answers - whether from a loved one, or yourself -
in the course of an evening, or over a lifetime. If you're
answering for yourself, The Confession Album offers an opportunity
to gain and share the solace of self-expression; a way to relay
knowledge or impart wisdom; store a little data about what matters
in the old-fashioned way, by putting pen to paper. If you're
collecting someone else's answers - whether together in person or
by inviting them to respond alone and share with you later - The
Confession Album is above all an opportunity to bond. To lend your
ears and give your love. The Confession Album might be used to mark
a birthday or anniversary. As an activity to anchor a family trip
or weekend with friends. At the very least, it beats a Greeting
Card or social media quiz. At best, it creates a small but
thoughtful legacy - recording thought, and hard-won wisdom, to
advise and inspire. For Aspiring Writers, The Confession Album
removes one more barrier to putting pen to paper. The Confession
Album is designed to encourage you to make a start, to help writers
find and refine their voice on the page.

selected from the TeX Users Group's TUGboat journal archive.
