Because. Because I am a mother. Because no child should ever be sacrificed to political ambition. Because 1,500,000 children perished in the Holocaust. For all these reasons, I’m participating in Paper Turtle's Project Butterfly.
The lovely Deb at Paper Turtle – by now you all know I’m a fan – has created this project to participate in a Holocaust museum’s display. They’re collecting butterflies for each of the children who died. For her 51st birthday, she is collecting 51 butterflies to contribute to this cause. Click on the link above to learn more and see if you’d like to participate. My daughter’s and mine are below, and they’re about to pop in the mail. Because regardless of race, religion, or political belief, no child should ever have to suffer what these children did.
Best,
Stephanie
Beautiful butterflies! I'm sure my mom will be so happy to receive them. <3
ReplyDeleteHI Dear Stepahnie
ReplyDeleteI will pop over and check it out.. It is so important these tragic lessons of history are not repeated and that the newer generation is aware
Sorry I've been such a slacker .. just catching up on your last post also.. You know I never made it to Laduree in Paris.. meant to.. but time got away and quite frankly I couldn't find it in the rush.. so.. happy to have a viewing of yours!!
Have a great week.. ciao xxx Julie
What a meaningful project - we were meaning to see the museum when we were in DC but couldn't get in. I will definitely be clicking the link to read more.
