make a 1000 origami cranes COMPLETE

so there you go, 1000 origami cranes.

yep 1000 count them of you wish!

so why make a 1000 origami cranes well I am not entirely sure I just thought I would be a great challenge as I embarked on this challenge i learnt that whomever creates 1000 origami cranes will be blessed with a life time of love, peace and prosperity which i guess makes this whole mission even more worth it. I also learnt that if you make a 1000 origami cranes ancient Chinese proverbs state you will be granted one wish so my wish is ' prosperity with my list in order to raise a mammoth amount of money for Make-A-Wish foundation' so hopefully others will be able to have their wishes granted if my wish comes true.

To tie in with the wish theme I started this project on world wish day so maybe this will add a bit more luck to my wish! who knows fingers crossed .

maybe I might add some instructions so you can make your own origami cranes. In the mean time what do I do with 1,000 cranes? string them together and make them into a hanging decoration perhaps? erm any suggestions will be welcome!

for a limited time only I am offering an origami set so that you can make your own cranes as well as other origami creations and paper crafts

so if your crafty and have patients(trust me you need some) then why not buy

coloured craft paper suitable for origami (aprox 50 sheets)

supporting make a wish foundation

Make-A-Wish foundation is an orgainsiation that was set up with the intention of giving seriously ill children the chance to dream,everyone has a dream but for alot of these youngsters forfilling a life long ambition is normally the last thing on their mind so being able to give them the gift of thier dream and enabling them to smile again is just something words cannot and shouldnot describe! And that is exactly why i have chosen to forfil some of my ambitions to raise money to help these kids wishes come true; so i bet your asking "what difference can my donation make? "
