Lots of folding.
Okay InMonsters and all BeKind readers: I need your help with something and all it takes is a click.
As most of you know, my day job is copywriting at the Balcom Agency in Fort Worth, Texas. This year for Christmas, we broke up into teams to create Christmas trees from found/recycled objects (we couldn’t spend more than $20 on materials). Each team is playing for a charity: the team whose tree gets the most votes gets a check from Balcom for their charity.
My team’s charity is the Humane Society of North Texas. They help animals who are abandoned, injured or mistreated. They also spay and neuter cats and dogs (for free in many circumstances). My team folded more than 300 origami cranes to create our tree (one of the things I’ve been doing instead of writing new Friday posts…sorry).
All the trees are really cool. You can see them all here (click each picture to see more pictures).
Here’s where you come in.
I’d be ever so grateful if you’d vote for my tree! All you have to do is click: no personal info required!
Shameless plug, I know. But it’s for a good cause and it will only take you a couple of seconds.
Just click here, and then click the big green VOTE button under the origami crane picture in the bottom right-hand corner. Voting once is great – but if you are so inclined, you can vote every day through the end of the contest (and that would be phenomenal).

Are you doing anything charity-related for the holidays? I’d love to hear about it!

I hope your group wins. 🙂
Me too! Thanks for voting. 🙂
Voted for ya guys. I will try to vote every day. Hoping you all win! :):):):)
You rock, Chelle!
Oh, wow! That is gorgeous work! You’ve got my vote — and as many other votes as I can remember to give you! 🙂
Why thank you! It took us quite awhile.
I’m giving a sketchbook and some colored pencils to an 8 year old girl in our church sponsored Christmas family and I threw a pack of Hot Wheels in our box at work to go to a local charity. I will probably also donate to Heifer International like I did last year on behalf of my family. I’ll hit the link and vote!
That’s awesome – you’re helping locally and globally! I’ve read about Heifer International. Great work they do – “teach a man to fish” kind of stuff. Very cool.
Awww thanks I just want to help children because I can’t have any of my own. I also donate yearly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in honor of my niece, who unfortunately has the disease. I didn’t think about it before, but I notice now that my charities revolve around children.
They are our future!
Wow this is beautiful!
I voted, I hope you win! All the best!
I hope to write this week. I have been MIA… I am out of ideas completely.
But I will try this time, I promise (crossing my heart! 🙂 )
Thanks so much, Parul! Glad to have you back!
YOU WON!!
…Right? 😀
WE DID!!! Over 20K votes!!! Thank you for making it happen!!!
I’ve neglected to say anything yet. Shame on me. Things have been rather crazy. I think I’ll post on it now. : )
