Comments on: Do something about abortion: Red Envelope Campaign http://inashoe.com/2009/02/red-envelope-campaign/ the methods and madness of one family of 12 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:10:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Karen http://inashoe.com/2009/02/red-envelope-campaign/#comment-21986 Karen Mon, 30 Mar 2009 04:36:39 +0000 http://inashoe.com/?p=3835#comment-21986 My 7 kids and I are mailing our envelopes tomorrow. However they are not empty and they are not going to the Presidents office. Here is what our letter says: "Dear Care Net Crisis Pregnancy Center, I was instructed to send our President an empty red envelope to represent an aborted baby. I think that is a good idea, but I think an even better idea would be to send a crisis pregnancy center a red envelope with 2 dollars in it. One dollar to save baby's life and one dollar to help a needy mother. I know you will use my red envelope to fight abortion, and I'm pretty sure President Obama would have just thrown his away. God bless you and all the good work you do saving lives....................." I will send Obama a prayer that he will change his mind. In the meanwhile, babies need help at crisis centers, please consider sending two envelopes, one empty one to the President and one full one to a crisis pregnancy center. God Bless, Karen My 7 kids and I are mailing our envelopes tomorrow.

I noticed on the Red Envelope Project site, they are asking for a mass mailing on March 31. I have a Mr. Linky up to spread the word. Hi Kim,

We happen to have a bunch of pink envelopes lying around, so to be thrifty, we're using them. We've written "baby girl" instead of "child" on the back. I wonder--why just one weekend in February? Why not once a day all year? Maybe for penmanship practice? Thanks for making us aware of this!

I noticed your bunk idea...Here is what we did. We built our children a four tier bunk. It was 28 inches between bunks and we bought the fold up camp matts for the mattresses. We allowed curtains and embellishments for their bed. We had only one rule one end was to climb up and the other down...(we had an in climb collision). This bunk costs less than one bed...and the kids greatest memories come from that bed. We had bought a teeny tiny home that needed lots of love, and lots of patience. I am certain that you could make this yourself, or hire the local highschool shop class(oftentimes they do projects such as this) jennifer I love this idea.
