One Year has passed, and Origami give-away

Today(Feb.1) last year, I started to blog and I cannot express my thanks more to my blog friends☆☆☆   Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and kindness; friends who try to care each other both at times in sorrow and in joy here in this blog land are the most precious treasure I found through blogging.
Sometimes I feel frustrated not having much time to leave comments who gave me one.  I hope this warm relationship with you guys will continue for long time♡♡♡



















*Origami (おりがみ)give-away
I found many of you have little grand kids, or I hope not only children but you all can enjoy Origami. Well, you might find different way of using these square papers.
I will include a book you can see the easy ways to fold some simple animals and so on. Also five sets of them with variety of deigns. 
I will announce the winner on Valentine's day (14th)   Well, my pictures are taken badly as usual, haha. It think they are just papers, so no problem mailing to a winner living overseas. I know this one is no comparison with other friends' gorgeous items, but I hope you can enjoy the time folding them.
You should be a follower of mine and have to leave a comment here or any of my posts untill 13th to enter this give-away, (friends who left comments here without saying not to enter are automatically entered; but for my later posts, would you leave a clear notification to enter,)


Again, I thank your friendship and hope you all are having wonderful week ♪♪♪

  6. Happy blogaversary! I just recently discovered your blog and became a follower straight away. I have fond memories of when we sailed our boat into Yokohama. Our two daughters were little and loved making origami - today my younger daughter still makes cranes to keep busy. Now I have a granddaughter and grandson to teach!

  9. Happy one year blog anniversary my dear friend. Having a giveaway to celebrate is a wonderful idea and the Origami papers are lovely. Origami is one thing I've never tried but have always been facinated by those who do have this skill. I'm just thankful that we met through blogging and have become friends. My life has become so much richer with you in it. Best wishes and warm hugs.

  12. Hi Miyako san, what a wonderful give-away! Origami is such a fun...though I can make only crane and balloon!
    I love plain origami papers as they remind me of childhood but I also love the fancy ones with flowers - they are so lovely!

  18. Happy Bloggaversary Orchid Sweetie...
    What a wonderful share. My little grand daughter, Isabel taught herself oragami. She can make swans really well, and I believe there is another animal, I just can't remember at the moment. She enjoys folding and creating. A beautiful art indeed.

    I am so happy to have met you through blogging sweetie.

    Country hugs, Sherry
