New Origami Crane Card

http://www.etsy.com/listing/68601150/handmade-mini-origami-crane-cardThis is an origami crane card with mini cranes folded of vibrantly colored washi paper. The cranes are approximately the size of a nickel and are handfolded from one inch squares of origami paper. This is the first card in my line of Happy Crane Cards. Enjoy!

Finding Time to Craft

So I have all of these ideas and friends inspiring me to make wonderful origami creations but I feel I have no time to create. I want to make shadow boxes and ornaments and cards but I am sitting here with two sleeping boys trying to type as quietly as possible for fear of waking them up. I need to find more time in the day.

Crane Folding Party at Out of Our Hands Gallery was a Success!!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Out of Our Hands Gallery in Emmaus, PA in support of the National Crane Project and David Heard's dream of folding 1000 cranes for each of the pediatric cancer centers across the country. The event was a great success and over 200 cranes were folded during the 3 hour event. If you were unable to make it today but would still like to fold for the cause, Out of Our Hands will be serving as a drop off site for crane contributions. You can find directions online and start folding! Thank you

David Heard has died

It is with a sad heart that I inform you that David Heard died last night of the pediatric cancer that inspired him to strive to provide hope for others. The National Crane Project will continue to accept cranes for his goal of having crane mobiles of 1000 cranes in each of the 220 pediatric cancer centers across the country. David is an inspiration and brought people together for a common cause. The crane folding event at Out of Our Hands Gallery in Emmaus, PA will also continue as scheduled this Sunday from 11-2.

Card Pricing and Comments

Okay, so maybe I'm just in a bad, bitter mood today, but I'm going to go with it. Has anyone ever looked at the back at a Hallmark card and considered what they are spending for a mass produced card that is reproduced a million times over (this may be an exaggeration) year after year?? It's around 3.50 a cards, just in case you haven't looked recently. So you should expect to pay more for a handmade, original card or anything that is handmade for that matter. Am I right? Please give me your feedback. Maybe tomorrow will be a happier day :)
