So far I've bought two silk gifts: on purple scarf with cranes on it for my mom, and one red scarf with cranes on it for his dad. Two more to go! I think I may move on to porcelain now.
My fiance's brother will only be 11 at the time of the wedding. We got flasks with cranes on them for the other groomsmen, but figured it would be inappropriate for a kid. I've been trying to...

My fiancé is a champ! He and I have been cranking out those origami cranes like nobody's business, and now we have made over 900 of them! Can you believe it? 100 more to go, and then I don't ...
... I got the crane stamp I ordered, and I've been writing our initials and wedding date on the origami cranes, and then putting on some string to make them ornaments. So, now I've just got to fi...
I bought a rubber stamp of a crane that I think I'll use instead of the graphic on the save the dates. It's about the same size and shape, so it should fit in just fine.
I plan on having th...

Each StD will have one of these cranes in it with our first initials (N+N) and the wedding date (07.30.2010) written on it. I'm not sure if hand writing is particularly attractive. However, b...

YES! We found the most perfect gifts for the groomsmen. FH and I went to Chicago this weekend to visit some friends. We thought we would walk around, visit the town, and do some shopping sinc...

Anyway, then I was fooling around and I made an origami rose, and it looks really nice on the cranes too! And the color perfectly matches the bouts I've already m...
