I don’t usually make a post so soon after another one, but this was rather necessary for me.
If any of my readers have been following Mei (from Ice Pandora ♥) blog posts, you should know that her mum isn’t doing very well at the moment. And after reading her latest post about making paper cranes and stars, I thought I’d make a small post dedicated to her and her mum ♥
So these cranes are for you Mei.
I’m not very skilled at Origami, and I don’t really have a lot of pretty paper, but I thought I’d let you know I care. And that I really really hope that your wish for your mum to get better comes true.
But not only that, I’m also dedicating my cranes to every single person out there who needs.
For those in Queensland who are suffering from floods, those in Perth who are getting Bush Fires, for my friends and family who aren’t feeling that well, and just for better and brighter days for everyone. ♥
So I’m asking you all to take the challenge to maybe make one or two cranes and dedicate it to Mei or to someone who really needs a wish right now. There won’t be any prizes or anything, because you need to do this from the heart.
So I challenge you to take that step and help someone out there, even if it’s just showing that you care by making a simple paper crane. Because any of us could be going through something similar right now.

I pray for better days and for a better future for all of us.

Ps/ For those who don’t know, there’s a story that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, you’ll be granted with a wish. Even if you don’t believe in it, just by doing it shows that you care for someone else. It’s the thought that counts really.
Pps/ And please, if you’re going to say something rude or mean, just don’t say it.
Also here’s a link to learn how to make paper cranes: HERE

I hope everything goes well for Mei's mother. I'll be folding some cranes as well, or at least attempt to.
This was a nice and heartwarming post, sweetheart. And those cranes look nice too. <3
I think that's very kind of you!
If I only knew how to make one! D:
-criessuperloudlikeaschoolgirl- THANK YOU xxxxxxx~
veryy sweet of you melody <3
Such a wonderful message!
I dedicate all my previously folded cranes to the people who are in need of a bit of luck. And I have a lot. Never knew why I made them, but I guess there was a purpose after all… Much strength to all who needs it, I hope these little paper cranes DO make a difference!
I've been hoping the best for Mei's mom too. :( I was hoping for a fast recovery after the surgery but ugh … I'm going to still hope and pray for her and her mom. This must be the most thoughtful thing a person could ever do and I'm going to see if I can figure out (from the tutorial) how to make a crane. Though, I will mostly praying cause even if serious problems exist or not that's what I always do everyday.
No matter what, I'm keeping faith!
That is really sweet of you Melody!
I'm not too familier with her blog but I will drop by her blog! Now… where are my origami papers…

well, for example, if you'd like to work at a parfume store you may take a picture of a parfume bottle with a vintage effect or something and use it as a background (half faded, or else you can't read your text) and type something: "Parfume is my hobby" or something like that! ;D
aaaaah, I don't get anything of those crane instructions! D:
/reply/ Disgusting? Why would it be disgusting? =O And what would be disgusting then?
/reply/ Oh! Like that XDDD
No, that's the worst thing on your cv.

I've never done it before, but maybe I'll try to do a few soon!
Awww, you're such a sweet heart for doing that for your friend! They look absolutely wonderful! You're much more skilled at the art of folding paper than I am! HAHA :'(
Btw, I purchased the Clarisonic off Ebay since it was a much cheaper option, HAHA! But do be careful when purchasing anything off Ebay. xD
& yes, the package just included two products and heaps of green foam thingys! HAHAHA, it was a lot of fun just 'swimming' through there trying to see if they left me a surprise or anything… but they didn't. :( HAHA
I hope all is well. xx
