It made me
Feel Satisfied.....
How I did it: I set a goal to fold at least 10 cranes a day until I finished. I had a bit of a head start, since I had some folded from earlier that I had saved. Some days I made my quota of 10, sometimes more, sometimes less. Read how I did it…

The beginning
4 weeks ago
I folded 4! Just 4. But I did go to the local Hobby Lobby and get some authentic origami paper. I tried making one from a cut piece of paper and it ended up sucking.
So doing something that I like to refer to as math and time keeping, I can make 1 every 5 minutes. But perhaps that is not the point. I mean the journey is supposed to be about patience and not learning to mass produce these things right?
The mind hurts now.

Paper Shopping

I looked up paper… to see how much 1000 sheets would cost.
One place it will cost ~$70 for 1000 sheets.
More of an investment than I expected. :P
But, I still want to do it. And will.
Maybe I can ask for paper for Christmas. :)

203 as of today. I’ve been making them in the car and before work, but still not as many as I would at school.
Only a month and a week left until school’s back, anyhow.
I still don’t know what I’m going to do with these when I’m finished. They’re not made with origami paper and are all different shapes and sizes, so I can’t really string them up into those beautiful collections.
Maybe I should decorate my ceiling with them.

Relay~

At my school’s Relay for Life this Friday, I’ll be running a tent where people write something how they’ve been affected by cancer, and I’ll be teaching them how to make paper cranes out of the paper.
CRANE TENT!

I spent last Thursday evening making paper cranes for seniors at the seniors dinner my school’s HOPE committee organizes (a committee of which I am part – the acronym stands for Helping Other People Everywhere).
I also make them at school and give them to people.
The only problem is, how will I know when I’ve reached 1000 if I’m giving them all away?
I do keep some of them, but for the maybe 30+ I’ve made, I have maybe 10 or so in my room.
Making cranes is more fun that it is a goal. I still want to make 1000…presently, however, I see this as a much more long-term goal.
