So, It Started With an Idea...

And a conversation, for that matter. Wondering what we were going to do, especially to earn money and preferably together, we were at a loss.

In all honesty, I don't remember where our conversation had actually led. All I truly remember was that I said something, and then she said, "Hey! What about this?"

Origami Crackers was born in that simple five minutes.

We truly feel it was God, because it seemed to walk into our heads, fully formed and ready to take off. We made this blog to tell you, our readers, about our journeys and all that happens during this faith-filled walk.

So what is Origami Crackers, you may ask? Put simply, it is an amateur, traveling bartering line. With odds and ends. As unclear as that was, I feel it to be an accurate description. You see, what we plan to do is this: take one potato chip with a smiley face on it and one oyster cracker that went through the machine wrong so it looks exactly like an origami swan, and turn it into something - or multiple somethings - worth roughly four-hundred thousand dollars.

Have I piqued your curiosity yet?

You may be wondering how we plan on doing this great feat, and it's simple: we're not. God is. But aside from that fact, we plan on trading - hence where the bartering comes in. We trade the potato chip and cracker for, as an example, some antique glass - trade the antique glass for a signed baseball, which we trade for a thousand dollars - oops! We traded for money! However, that doesn't mean our chain ends - we just start a new chain! Maybe take an intricate nesting doll set and trade it, et cetera...

We pretty much plan to just let God work this out for us, with us doing only what he tells us to do; because then it will be a success for sure.

Feel free to follow us, share us, or comment below (anonymous welcome!). If we ever get something and you would like to trade with us, feel free to let us know. Also, if we don't have something you would like yet, but want us to keep an eye out for a particular item, again, feel free to tell us. If you have any questions, you can ask us those as well - we don't bite.

Until next time,

P.S. Here's the cracker and chip - aren't they cute?

 ... and his better side!

I'm going to miss them when they're gone. (Oh, and we'll let them go together or separately.)
