I'm trying this...

I recently joined a group of crafters whose goal is to make 1000 paper cranes by the end of the year.

They can also be given as wedding gifts.

I have no desire to get married at the moment, but figured this would be a fun thing to do. Even if it is just to say that you did it! I've folded cranes for years, but then I began thinking....this is dangerous!
