On My Mind: Origami

Hello, Paper-Folders!

I love to do origami. I only have one thing memorized, and I'm not incredible at it, but I enjoy doing it. My goodness, ever since I did the banned words post, I've noticed how many banned words I use. The second half of my second sentence was originally: . . . and I'm not very good at it, but I really like it. Sigh.

By the way, sometimes I feel like a very bad blogger. The last post didn't have pictures, and neither does this one, which is a fairly big offense in blogging. I mean, who's going to care about a post without pictures? I can only transfer pictures I take to my blog at specific times, due to issues I am having with not having a phone/camera to take pictures. I should put a camera on my Christmas list. . . I will try to be better in the future, but I can't guarantee anything, what with homework and school and all. Sorry!You can now ignore this paragraph! I added pictures to this post!

As I was saying, I really don't know why I like origami so much, because although I appreciate my work, I just put it in a bag when I'm done. In any case, origami is the art of folding paper into shapes/animals. I like making animals. Here are some animals that I've made:

1) Owl












2) Crane












3) Bird












4) Dove












5) Bat







6) Cat








7) Puppy











8) Jumping frogs








9) Turtle








10) Dragon









Here is a picture from the web:

Creative Complex: Describe Your Pet

Hello, Pet-Lovers!

Today, describe your pet.

First, use the list of banned words to describe your pet. If you don't have a pet, describe a picture of an animal, or any of the pictures below!

Here is the list: https://wikis.engrade.com/beginningiew/bannedwords

• Happy
• Sad
• Interesting
• Very
• Mad
• See/look
• Got
• Said
• Went
• Come
• Bad
• Ugly 
• Big
• Small
• Thought
• Make
• Really

These words are banned because they are not specific enough. For example, someone could imagine something "big" as being the size of a table, while someone else could imagine something "big" as being the size of a house.

Here is my description of my dog:

Banned Words Version: I have a very interesting dog. She is small, white, and really happy. She loves people and gets mad sometimes.

No Banned Words Version: I have an incredible dog. She is ten pounds, and has very long legs. She also is white with a streak of apricot down her back. She is extremely cheerful most of the time, and gets overly excited when we have people over. Sometimes, she pouts when she is annoyed with us.

See the difference?
