    If I wasn’t so busy crocheting, I think Origami would be my second craft of choice! I need to do a bit of it – so beautiful! Thanks for the review.

    Folding paper is so relaxing. I took an origami class when I was a kid and I have enjoyed it ever since! And now I love doing it with my kids. This looks like a fun book!
