Wendy - Peace - Richmond, VA

"Hi there,

I was inspired by one of my friends who released a crane yesterday to release one of my own. The word I chose was "peace" and I opted to write it in both english and farsi on the wings of my crane. I chose peace written in these two languages to symbolize my hope for peace between America and Iran, two of my favorite countries. The link to your site was written on the crane's tail.

The crane was released today at Panera Bread, 1601 Willow Lawn Drive, Richmond, Virginia 23230. Time of release was 1:15pm.

I'm attaching some pictures, but because all I had with me at the time was a cell phone, the pictures are not of the best quality. I have also posted a link to your site, along with information about my release, on my blog at http://pinkbayouphotography.blogspot.com/ and will be posting it to my 365 blog at http://wendys365project.blogspot.com/ .

Thanks for creating such a wonderful and creative project!"





I love that you put it in two different languages. And it's awesome that it has such meaning behind it!

Alli's Crane - Kindness

"The word I chose was "kindness". That word sums up everything about the way I want (and try) to live my life. I think it's important for people to recognize that even though this world can be difficult sometimes there are still kind people out there who care about you without even meeting you. You can be kind to another person which could change their whole day. It's important to remember to love one another.

I left it on a newspaper stand in the library at my university and I hope it went to a good home!"



Kindness is a great word to leave! Good job Alli. :)

Carla - Bounty - Texas, USA

Hello, Sandy.

Finally uploaded these pix from my camera. Two photos of the same released crane.

Released at a Telco bank branch in Austin, Texas, on 11/18/10. Thought it would be appropriate to put the word "BOUNTY" on this crane in the hopes the person who finds it will receive a bounty ... at the bank or elsewhere.

Smiles,
Carla

Lori Anderson - Decide - Annapolis, MD

Lori Anderson at Pretty Things released this crane and wrote about it on Tuesday 11/23. Lori released her crane at the Anthropologie in Annapolis, Maryland! I know every time I end up in that store, I have to decide not to max out my credit cards!

Sorry for taking forever and a day to post it! Great job Lori! Love the paper you chose. :)

Tracey - Glede/ Joy - Norway

Check out this link to see the crane that Tracey left in her home area of Norway! She even gave both the English and Norwegian words! Tracey put her crane out on 11/13/10 at a library! Super cool. :)
