Paper Dragonflies: Backyard's Abuzz

Why Paper Dragonflies?

Since I was a little girl, I've had a love for PAPER. I would spend any money I would get on paper. I loved it! I would cut it, glue it, color it, fold it, just whatever creative idea came to mind. Today I'm a little more focused on my use of paper. After having twins, I became addicted to scrapbooking. What a perfect use of paper and my creativity!

I've also always been fascinated by DRAGONFLIES. They are like little miniature brightly colored helicopters...hovering over something and then darting away in a flash. They've been around for millions of years. Most of their life is spent under water in a larval stage where they well camouflaged predators. Their last molt is the one that creates the beautiful winged insect that fills summer skies. As adults dragonflies are our friends eating hundreds of mosquitoes and other pests every day!

Thus the name, Paper Dragonflies! Beautiful and timeless!
