Good for introduction to CNY crafts
If you are new to celebrating CNY or want to introduce the holiday to children who've never celebrated, then this book may point you in the right direction. If you are familiar with CNY, then these crafts aren't anything you wouldn't have thought of on your own.

Includes very basic instructions for banners, paper fire crackers for holding candy, puppets, lanterns, noisemakers etc. The illustrations are good, and the materials are things that you would probably have around the house already.

I'm always looking for good crafts to do with our cross-cultural family, but this book was just too basic. ... Read more

beautiful and informative book
This is a beautiful book.
We found it very informative.
In fact I gave it to my children's Chinese Teacher today as a New Year;s gift and she used it to teach the class abit about Chinese New Years.
I am now ordering another one for our family as I know my kids will miss the one we gave to our teacher.
The book describes several ceremonies, traditions and history of the Chinese New Year with lots of hands-on activities.
Well done!

Product Description
This PC and Mac compatible CD-Rom contains over 250 charming holiday greeting cards from days long passed. These vintage images were scanned as high-resolution tiffs for exceptional image quality, then saved as easy-to-use jpg images for your projects. From old French, German, Italian, and English postcards, most are photographs, although some are illustrations. Included are angels & nativity scenes, childrens portraits, children in the snow, ladies, romantic scenes, Happy New Year cards and more. As a special bonus we have included a dozen scans of the backs of these cards. The antique handwriting is wonderful for altered art, and many have sweet messages in French or Italian.

Great for card making, as well as gift tags, or labels for handcrafted items. Lovely for ornaments, primitives, decoupage & other paper crafts. Add to your scrapbooking pages, altered art, collage, and mixed media. Print for paper piecing, collage, transparencies, tags, journals, fabric transfers, jewelry, and more.

We have removed major creases and tears, and in some cases embellished or enhanced. Usually we have removed the stamps, but we left the original little French stamps on some, as many crafters and collectors like them. Many of the cards have greetings in various languages, either original or added by us, but you can of course alter them and add your own messages as well.

This collection is great for research and study, and also just beautiful and fascinating to wander through.

All images are 300 dpi when printed at 1500 pixels longest side.

A fascinating, first-hand account of the emergence of a legitimate Tradition of Wicca
Presented as a series of essays the book moves rapidly discussing the motivations behind the formation of the Unicorn Tradition and its evolution from the beginning into the present day.While the level of writing of the individual authors varies, the book as a whole is a good read and can give some insight into the political, spiritual, and practical motivations behind the Tradition.

Of particular interest to many will be the Tradition's emphasis on providing a family atmosphere.It has been said before that those who seek companionship in alternative spiritual communities are seeking their true spiritual family; the book illustrates the spiritual family that is the Unicorn Tradition and emphasizes the close bonds between members at all levels of attainment.

This is NOT a "Wicca 101" book!The chapters are presented as essays offering vignettes of how the Tradition was formed, who it appeals to, and what makes it a viable, living Tradition today.

A valuable resource for those studying contemporary Wicca as a social phenomenon, the history of modern-day pagan witchcraft in America, or the evolution of this particular Tradition in particular, "The Journey Begins" should belong on the shelf of anyone interested in Eclectic Wicca. ...
