Hello and welcome to My Paper Crane: A showcase of my art and craft. Who am I? I'm 
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Its time for me to say thank you once again for all your support, love, comments and emails! I really appreciate it..really I do! I made up ten little goodie love bags and this time I am going to do things a little bit differently. If you would like to get a little mail love simply leave a comment with atleast your email address and please leave it here on my actual blog (or things are going to get confusing) For those folks who read this through livejournal you can visit here for the actual entry.
Then all the entries posted by midnight tonight (EST) will each count. Starting with the first comment, to the last they will be numbered (#1-whatever) then I will ask my kids to each pick 5 random numbers. They of course will have no idea who the numbers go to, and then tomorrow I will post a list of the ten people and send off the goodie love. Hope this doesn’t sound confusing…basically leave a comment with your email, haha.
**ETA: its midnight folks, and ive turned of the comments, thanks so much to everyone who left a comment! I will be having the kids pick #’s in the morning and will let you know then..xo
I also want to urge everyone to check out the preview for Handmade Nation. The amazing documentary about the rise of D.I.Y, art, craft, and design. Faythe Levine & Micaela O’herlihy are making a moive about the new wave of craft. They have spent so much time and effort on this amazing project, and I cannot wait to watch the finished film.
Please do whatever you can to show your love + support for this wonderful film, you can find out more info on their blog as well!
this is such a cute idea!
