The Beginning

Hello to all! The purpose of this blog is so you can follow my progress as I compete the task of creating 1000 paper cranes. If you don't know the purpose of creating so many of these paper birds allow me to explain. In the Japanese culture, if you make 1000 paper cranes, it grants you a life time of good luck or grants you a wish. If you're wondering what I need a wish for, or why I want good luck so much that I would create so many paper cranes, there is only one thing I can say: I've never been too lucky in my life, and I figure its worth a shot, right? I will do my best to update this blog daily. If my math is correct, if I complete 10 cranes a day, I should be able to finish this project within 4 months. Starting today, I will be creating these paper cranes, hopefully on a daily basis. Most of the updates I post will be rather short. I will say how many I did that day, how many I have done total, and possibly pictures of the cranes as I hang them.
