![]() ![]() The star books, however, were another matter. I found that origami as an art form started over a thousand years ago in Japan (though some say it was invented in China even earlier). This seems like it would be akin to a Victorian tradition or possibly even earlier, so I wanted to see if it was. For example, one entry in 2021 says “instead of saying ‘a long time ago,’ Hunter says ‘far, far from yesterday.” Another entry says ‘We started the tradition of having breakfast on Christmas eve at the beach.” Then the little stars would hang on the tree. The first two were too large for what I had in mind, but what to do with them? Then, it occurred to me that I could use the larger books for Christmas memories by separating each section into a year and writing happy things we did or just daily life notes about what life was like that year. So, I wanted to make a similar book so that I could make one as a gift for my husband for Christmas. I had written around the edges of the pages with messages of love for her. When opened, the book turned into a 3-dimensional star shape when opened and could be hung like an ornament. When going through some items left to me by my grandmother, I found a tiny little book that I had bought from an artisan many years ago.
