Thank you for this opportunity to have many hours of fun, creativity, and sharing with interested friends. If I won The Great Katazome Giveaway, I think I would invite my interested friends to The Great Katazome Giveaway Party — a gift that keeps on giving!
What fabulous paper and what a fabulous prize! I’d love to find this under my Christmas tree, from Santa, of course.
My daughter and I are both crafters – she is an origami expert and I’ve just started learning Iris folding. These papers would be inspirational.

I love using origami paper to make cards, thanks
Such beautiful papers!! Glad to be introduced to a new paper source!
What beautiful paper, thanks for the giveaway!
great initiative!
i make origami, so, of course, i’m very interested in every good-quality kind of paper!
and japanese ones are some of the best.
here’s a link of some paper-works i make (http://www.flickr.com/photos/30452866@N06/)
What an amazingly generous gift. Beautiful paper.
Lovely paper!! Would love to win this giveaway
Great idea — can’t wait to try this paper.
I would make envelops for all the xmas card I am sending this year. Then
I will use some papers to make a nice book to store special card I receive every now and then.
Perhaps I say to use the paper to create nice book covers, but I am not 100% sure. So much paper, in so many nice patterns. To be honest, I really can’t tell right now what to do with the papers exactly. But it sure has to do something with bookbinding or creating nice boxes for my daugther (or the children of friends), enveloppes, etc.
I can’t wait to have all those very nice papers in my hands for use!
[...] Last year, I missed out on an awesome contest held by The Paper Place called, The great Origami Giveaway. I literally found out about that contest one day too late. it was such a major disappointment, I actually sulked about it for an hour because I love working with Chiyogami paper. this year, The Paper Place is hosting a new give-a-way this season The great Katazome Giveaway – 12 Days in December [...]
I’ve loved and enjoyed your store for years, and have a link to it on my blog because it’s such a great place. When making arts and crafts with children, which is what my blog is about, we’ve used Japanese papers for a number of projects including these cards:

Katazome is fantastic for washi eggs.
So great!! I hope I’ll win the contest so I can craft again and more with those beautiful papers! I discovered katazomeshi not so long ago and I love them. I love ones with cranes and bambou leaves so I can create sceneries with them

You have the most beautiful paper. I can’t wait to visit the store again.
I love paper and the paper store! I am currently turning old, discarded wood-frame windows into a series of lights – layering and shaping translucents on the panes and illuminating from behind. So many papers, so little time.
