So first I will bake the cakes for the cake sale and then I am going to get all the shiniest, blingy-est stash out and make a butterfly in memory of all those little people who never got to see one again - and in memory of my Grandad who spent WWII in a Polish prison of war camp... can't think of a better reason to play!!
And wouldn't it be brilliant if everyone put the link on their blog? I can imagine the array of beautiful butterflies we scrappers could create...
Dan has made a template you can download to make butterflies which you can find here. Thanks Dan!
Amazing project, it will look fabulous when they are all displayed,
ReplyDeletemay have a little play myself!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Annette.
ReplyDeleteSo, your grandad was Polish? My dad was Polish too and was forcably taken from his home by the Germans when he was only 14. We don't know how (he would never talk about it), but somehow he made it to the UK during the war and eventually, to north-east Scotland, where he met my mum.
He finally got back to Poland for a holiday with mum, me and my sister, when he was 37. His dad had died a few years before, but his mum was still alive.
I was only 6 and can still remember the emotion.
His youth was stolen.
I will definitely make some butterflies.
What an amazing project Annette, I'm going to take part too as sometimes I think it's all too easy to forget and we should never forget.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to it. Perhaps you should post it on UKS too?
Can't wait to see your bling butterflies, just make sure there's no glitter!
