You are welcome Julie!

I wonder if there is a toilet paper design for a pilgrim?

I had no idea that we at the Mexican dinner would all be famous. Julie, you have such a way with words! I missed seeing your camera in action. But I should have guessed….

I especially liked the websites that Robert Franck mentioned for even more wonderful options for folding toilet paper.

I now know what I will be doing extra for my guests on Thanksgiving, after I stuff the turkey, mash the potatoes, make sweet potato casserole, cranberries, gravy, set tables, play hostess, on and on and on…..

I will discreetly step into the bathroom after each guest uses it, and I will get busy on my new hobby. I cannot imagine a better way to show love to friends and family on this day of thanks.

Oh my gosh. I have now seen everything. I actually think the toilet paper origami book would be a nice gag gift. Just the ones on the cover are amazing. A sailboat would be pretty neat at a beach house. Thanks for commenting, Rob!

At our house, you’re lucky to have toilet paper on the dispenser. One morning, I replaced the toilet paper at 8:00 a.m. and at noon, the roll was gone.

Here’s a good book if you decide to take up this new hobby: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0980092310/

But check out the cartoon near the bottom of this page: http://www.origami-resource-center.com/toilet-paper-origami.html (on the difference between “nice touch” and “too much”)

(Actually, I’m interested in the ship pattern on that page.)

Deb – it wasn’t high quality toilet paper – I buy the cheap and scratchy Scottissue – the ones with 1000 squares per roll. :p

You absolutely could, Jessica! Maybe you could call Deb and ask her to lead you through the steps.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I have so many thoughts racing through my head!!!

I have, in the past, pondered the types of household staff people might have that live in these huge mansions. But I have to say that NEVER, would it have occurred to me to hire someone to fold my toilet paper. Never.

I do, however, have to try this. Just to try it.

My hobby is definitely paper crafts. Until now it had consisted of card making, scrapbooking, paper gift designing. Do you think I could now include toilet paper folding?

Hmmm….

OK………16 minutes has come and gone…..a long time ago! Toilet paper origami is not for me. I probably don’t have the high caliber toilet paper required for such artistic bathroom endeavors. I am sad because I think Dean and Kyle would have really appreciated the effort after being in the hunting shack all weekend with their toilet paper roll propped up off the floor on a very nice stick!

I’m going to try it right now!
