Craftastic: paper toys, again
After my previous post on paper toys, I found these fabulous paper nesting dolls for a whopping $3: 
They are by artist Timothy Haugen, whose Etsy page, Fantastic Toys, includes such ridiculously adorable paper crafts as a 3-D mushroom house.
Another site with fabulous FREE paper downloadables is The Toymaker. I love her Window To Fairyland 3-D box. She has many other cool downloadable paper projects too. Like these black and white templates for bug boxes, houses, and school buses. Simply print out, let tot color 'em in, and then put together with a modicum of effort. Lovely stuff!
I'm feeling quite peachy-pleased about finding these sites. Takes care of the desire to be craftastic with paper, even if you lack original talent for it. As in, me.
Go on, do one! You know you simply must.
I love Etsy. It is such a handsome format and the diversity of wares are incredible. I've seriously found everything from door-draft busters to chandelier earrings, not to mention gorgeous knobs for our kitchen! I'll have to go peek at these whimsical creatures. Thanks for the tip.

Etsy just keeps popping into my radar right now, thanks crabmom for making me finally go and check out their site.
