I have a confession. I love paper.
It's becoming a borderline obsession. For me, it's right up there with my other obsessions, ie. unique coffee mugs, scarves, and anything made of glass. I just love it. I love how fragile it is and how it looks with pencil, ink, paint, chalk, conti, and pretty much any medium. I like how it smells when it ages, how it crinkles when it's folded, how it can become a paper airplane, and can be a place to write your deepest darkest secrets.  
Paper is amazing.
