Hey, limeys. I have a project for anyone whos going to the mutherland or any other fun adventures soon and is willing to have a little bit of fun helping out my DD7. Her class is doing a Flat Stanley project (if you dont know about Flat Stanley, you can find out more here
http://flatstanley.enoreo.on.ca/ or google him or do a DIS search on Flat Stanley as others here have taken him on trips before). Basically, what would happen is that we would mail DDs Flat Stanley to you and you would take him along on your adventures, log short diary entries of what he did and what adventures he had, and hopefully also get pictures of him at various sites/landmarks (with or without you). Then you would mail him back so she could share his adventures with her class. Its kind of fun. I have seen a number of different projects similar to this. For instance, this little restaurant in downtown San Diego called The Cheese Shop has a Frisbee with its logo on it and people take it all over getting pictures of it at various sites around the USA/world and then they put the pics up on the restaurant walls. I even saw a thread here once in which a poster shared pics that her co-workers had from their collective trips with one of those Arbys Oven mitts (see Oven Mitt:
http://www.ihateovenmitt.com/). Anyway, if anyone would be interested in this, PM me. DD would need to have Stanley and the diary/photos back by the end of October at the latest. (Digital photos would be fine, as they could be emailed and we could easily have them printed rather than putting someone else to the trouble.) If we dont find someone who will be doing something exciting to take him, well have to send him to a less-than-exciting relative. LOL Poor Stanley. If he has to go to rural Kansas, hes going to be really bored! Man, I sure wish Id known about this when Teresa went on her 28-day vacation. That would have been awesome think of the adventures Stanley could have had on that trip!
