We have Anything Goes or Origami. My first choice is origami, my Great Nephew loves it and has a piece of paper making animals and other things all the time, so if an 11 year old can do it, so can I right?
Well I did it - jumping frogs, but was I successful? I think not, I'm afraid I'm picky about the folds, even though it was copy paper, it was difficult to get them perfect. They do jump though, have a looky at the video down below. It made my men in the house laugh, as did I.
Here's the link on how to make them.
I then thought perhaps I should try a card. This is the result. With no computer used for any of these? Are you proud of me?

11 yrs old?! I've never tried & doubt I will, but sure love seeing your adorable frogs! The card is wonderfully designed--love it!
PS--I use a mouse with my laptop & it's so great to be able to have it at the angle & height I need--plus I can sit in the same room with hubby while I read blogs. So hoping I get it back next week or may go buy a new one!
Faith, these are the perfect frogs and the beer card!
Many thanks for comments on my blog.
