By now, If you have been looking at my blog, you know that making greeting cards is one of my favorite things to make. Paper crafting has also been one of my favorite things to do, even as a child with cutting and pasting, and paper dolls, I was content with just giving me paper, paste, and scissors!
I made this "paper" house as a gift for my sister-in-law many years ago, but she still has it, and kindly took a photograph of it for me to post here. The pattern came from a Leisure Arts book "Christmas Gifts of Good Taste." I gave it to her with a loaf of pound cake inside the box. She now uses it to keep mail inside. The house is made with a shoe box, and paper twist. I made several of these to give away as gifts, they are easy to make but just a bit time consuming.
"Go often to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the Unused path." Ralph Waldo Emerson
I write well on paper...but that is about it.
