From the Ashes of Angels: The Forbidden Legacy of a Fallen Race: Andrew Collins: 9781879181724: Amazon.com. The 10 Most Defining Novels of the Millennial Generation. In any culture the people look to storytellers to give shape to the experiences of their times. This is the ancient practice of myth-making. It helps us commemorate and come to terms with what we’ve been through. The greatest writers are often those who manage to capture the quintessence of the zeitgeist around them. Millennials (sometimes also called Generation Y), the latest generation to come of age, are usually defined by demographers as the age cohort that was born starting in 1983 … perhaps a few years earlier, at most.

This generation has not yet turned 30, and unlike poets, mathematicians, or gymnasts, novelists don’t generally flower until after that. (For instance, in the New Yorker‘s most recent “20 Under 40” list, only two authors were born in the 1980s; they’re both on our list as well). Most of the so-called young writers currently gaining reputations are still late Gen-Xers. This list is bound to be much different a decade from now. Polo Underwear, Woven Boxer 3 Pack - Mens Underwear. Perfumes For A Buck! Home made gift boxes. Dear Chicago House, I love scrap book papers but rarely use them for scrap book projects, they tend to get frame and hung within your walls like here and here.

Here is another fun way to use them, home made boxes, which would work perfectly as gift boxes. All they take are a little patience and a bit of folding ...scroll down for a video tutorial. I think I will be making a few more of these in more festive papers as the holiday season rolls in. Love from Creative in Chicago. Paper Pyramid Gift Boxes. Check out my new site, Let's Wrap Stuff. It's dedicated to all things related to gift wrap. You can even submit a tutorial or photo (even if you don't have a blog)! Lately, I've been a little obsessed with making different kinds of gift boxes. So when I came across these pyramid shaped DIY gift boxes, I knew I had to make some.

These are so simple to make, because Sassafras has generously provided a free printable template. Print the template onto the inside of an 8.5 by 11 piece of card stock. These little boxes are easy to open and close, and would be perfect for a little Mother's Day gift like earrings or a necklace.
