Once the notes on the inside start to burn, the envelopes do, too! Maybe we'll try the candle trick next time.malindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233439015219192874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-77536704974664532322010-05-09T22:08:37.905-05:002010-05-09T22:08:37.905-05:00Well I proposed this tradition to my kids and they...Well I proposed this tradition to my kids and they thought it was a fine idea so they each wrote a note and stuck it in a red envelope. We proceeded to try to burn them and they wouldn't catch on fire! Eventually lit a candle in the fire place and held them over the flame until they burned. (First time ever using the fire place, too.) I think that the kids may have been more interested in the fire than the notes, but I think it is a neat way to honor birth mothers on mother's day. Next time we'll have to use more flammable red envelopes!<br />Sue (aka anonymous)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
