pink cranes . . .

"Be more splendid.  Be more extraordinary.  

Use every moment to fill yourself up."

 ~ Oprah Winfrey

I love beautiful origami paper, but some of my favorite paper cranes are those that I make out of paper from every day things - such as envelopes, old books, and bags.  I'm always keeping bits of paper and cutting it to fold cranes or for pages in my journal. These paper cranes were made out of the small pastry bag that my scone came in from Starbucks.
