A Christmas Story: The House Made of Paper

December 18, 2010 by Amanda Formaro

When this project first caught my eye, I thought I was just going to look at some cool house made from paper. Instead, I read a story about a wonderful heartfelt gift given 20 years ago from a broke college student to her parents. The gift was this replica of her childhood home, complete with flower beds and handprints in the concrete. I loved this story, but I loved even more that her parents still have it, displayed under a plexiglass box some 20 years later. Go see this awesome paper house and read the loving story behind it at The Magic of Ordinary Things.
