Has it really been ten whole weeks since we started this project? August 22 - October 29? I continue to be overwhelmed by the generous and loving spirits that join the project, and I know I sound like a broken record, but it's both a humbling and refreshing experience and magnifies my faith in the goodness inherent in our nature as humans.
Butterflies from two kind souls arrived this week. But not just two butterflies - ....eight! So, a very humble thank you again to Linda and Cindy. Together you brought the total of our butterflies to 50!
FYI, there is still an abundance of time to join in on this meaningful project. The deadline is December 31st, 2011 (that's over a year from now!)
More information is available by clicking on The Butterfly Effect tab above ( just below my blog header.) Please consider it.
If I received your butterfly by November 30th, 2010 you will also be entered into a draw to receive a copy I purchased of the book - I Never Saw Another Butterfly.
Great news and another draw will also be announced December 15th, 2010!
So today with pleasure, I bring you several photos of more beautifully hand-crafted butterflies (and two snapshots of Cindy's package) directly from the hearts of Linda Adams and Cindy Adkins.
** In Hebrew, the prayer Cindy incorporated into the above butterfly is The Shema.
In English it is translated: "Here, Oh Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One."

Hi Trudi,
Wow, I'm so happy that they got posted--you are such a sweetheart to do all this. And I'm so happy to be in the post with Linda too because she is so awesome and I love her art. And, Linda and I are friends and it's through her that I found out about the project, so this sure was serendipity. Trudi, thank you for everything that you are doing to honor the precious children and thank you for letting my butterflies find a temporary home at your house!
Love,
Cindy

Thankyou for your lovely comment on my post on the Pulp Redux blog. You have great timing as I am just in the middle of making my butterfly for the project! I will be posting it too my blog next posting and then on to you.
I just had a browse of your blog...and I love your skinny pages! Lots of other great things here too..but I really like the format of your pages and seeing the process. The forest one from your friend is a treasure too!

Oh Trudi, I can't believe how many beautiful butterflies you have collected so far. People are so generous and it comes from their heart too. How wonderful that these precious little souls will not ever be forgotten. Love , Sharon
