And to think it's just paper

Sometimes I come across something that makes me so jealous.  Jealous for more time to do fun, artistic things like I used to do when I was a child.  I was just sharing with my children stories about my grandmother and the great artistic and creative visionary she was.  She and I used to do so many great creative things together--she taught me origami and cookie decorating I just didn't appreciate at the time.  She used to make decorated Christmas cookies for her friends that would rival any gift you could conceive; she would hand paint a Santa Claus face that made you place the cookie on the tree or in a place of prominence, but you would never be able to eat it (even though it was delicious)!

When I came across this fun collection from Real Simple Magazine this week, I wanted to share it with all of you.  It's amazing you can do these things with paper alone.  And let me tell you, there's nothing simple about these paper creations.  Enjoy this treat and break from your busy day!
