I think you should all know...

[WildIrish]

what a remarkable person Sharni/Alassë is.

My 10 year old daughter had a school project that involved packing up her favorite stuffed animal and sending him off to travel the world. She was mortified at the prospect of never seeing him again, but didn't want to not participate. My thoughts immediately turned to Pixies and to Lilith's box. Um, her Pixie's Box, that is. I pm'd Alassë with the details and she was quite receptive to helping us out. We mailed Henry to Australia and let me tell you...he had a blast. We never, ever, ever expected to get back what we did. There were photographs a plenty. Henry at the beach, Henry driving a bus, and Henry disguising himself as a koala. There were postcards of all the places he visited and of sites around town. There was a beautiful book about Allasë's area. And there was Vegemite. :D We sent Henry with a journal to record his adventures, and it came back full. All in all...Henry had a glorious time. He slept well last night. :D

I can't thank you enough, and I thought the least I could do was to publicly brag about what a great person you are.

Thank you very much.

[jseal]

That is soooo cool! Sharni, you outdid yourself! Kudos to you madam! :)

[wyndhy]

[maddy]

what a unique flat stanley type project. I'm glad to hear Lil WildIrish-ess got her Henry back safe and sound. Also pleased to hear that Alasse took Henry on a few pleasant adventures on the other end of the globe.

[imaginewithme]

Oh wow,....that makes me wanna cry or something. How awesome is that!?!?! I'm proud of your daughter for being so brave and think that Sharni is one amazing person!

WOWhttp://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/grouphugg.gif (http://www.millan.net)

[Fangtasia]

(((WI)))...Oh i'm so pleased Henry made it home!!!

I really enjoyed having him stay...it was so funny to see peoples face when ya walking everywhere with a stuffed animal *LOL*...and taking pics of it *snort*

"He's American ya know' used to be my answer to many a stare.....they'd sorta go 'Oh , ok', then they had this 'dont upset the crazy woman look' in their eyes

All in All Henry and I had a ball.....I'll miss his little furry butt

[fzzy]

Ok, I just have to ask ... can I be next? :D ... wonder how much it would cost to ship me?!?!?! ... probably more than the airfare ... LOL! ... Alasse, you're one in a trillion and we love ya!!!! ((((((Alasse))))))

[Lilith]

What a fun project. What great lovies.

[sodaklostsoul]

[musicman]

[bare4you]

[PantyFanatic]

..... There were photographs a plenty. Henry at the beach, Henry driving a bus, and Henry disguising himself as a koala. There were postcards of all the places he visited and of sites around town. There was a beautiful book about Allasë's area. And there was Vegemite. ......
You get pics from her so fast, it's like they were shot back from a cannon, and you're not going to share. :(



... but I see she got even for doing everything elses so well. ;)







lmao

[Salacious]

Okay I got goosebumps! Very cool... but I'm not really surprised. We have some quality bodies around here. Packaging and contents!

[Fangtasia]

Thank you very much.

Just proves (again) what I knew already..... Sharni/Alassë is wonderful lady in just about every way I could imagine. (Still trying vegemite out though.....so I'll reserve judgement on the other few!!)

DM

[dicksbro]

Sharni, you are an angel. But then, we knew that.

((( HUGS ))) to you, mamm!

[LixyChick]

Awwwwwwwwwww!

Is it weird of me to be jealous of a stuffed animal?

Oh...and what "persuasion" of a stuffed animal is Henry (ie:cat, dog, goose)?

((((WI & Sharni))))

[PantyFanatic]

.... (Still trying vegemite out though.....so I'll reserve judgement on the other few!!)

DM
I've got extra!....... Let me know if you need some. :eek:









;)

[scotzoidman]

I don't normally get into the "warm & fuzzy" stories, but this is the tops...just goofy enough to be appealling, & obviously a great learning experience for the little WI...& proof again that there's no better place to call home than pixies, & no better group of friends to have...esp. Sharni...

[nikki1979]

how sweet! i hope my lil ones get to do somthing like that one day ! awsome stuff , sharni does def. rock!

[alspals69]

i am so very impressed, what a great thing to do :)

[Oldfart]

Sharni,

Done good, Henry'd hard.

Are you planning on posting any pics of you and Henry skinny-dipping in the dam?

[Fangtasia]

*LOL*...not warm enough nor enough water in it for that Oldfart!

I felt so honoured that WI asked me....my parents loved Henry too (he went to visit) *LOL* It was fun and something different. I just wished i had've had more time to take him around (in and outta hospital fixed that *sigh*)

[Oldfart]

Dam shame.

[lakritze]

Please post some of Henry's pictures.

[dicksbro]

Please post some of Henry's pictures.

I'll second that. Great idea, lakritze! ;)

[Fangtasia]

I will post some if its ok with WI....so ask him *LOL*

[Oldfart]

WI,

Should Henry be outed?

[sodaklostsoul]

LMAO...... outed makes me think Henry is comming out of the closet.

[scotzoidman]

LMAO...... outed makes me think Henry is comming out of the closet.
Uh-oh... we just escaped from the gay whale thread, are we about to be sucked in by a gay stuffed animal coilition? :eek:

[WildIrish]

I would love to have Henry's adventure shared with you guys! My daughter brought everything to school to share with the class so I can't scan any in yet but if Alassë has extra prints...that's great! Everyone I've told this story to (and the list is very long) has been as amazed as I have. It really was a remarkable response and I can't thank you enough.

[Sharni]

[Lilith]

That was fabulous! I will start my class on a project like this come the Fall.

[rabbit]

Wow...I'm so damn impressed!


Only one problem...its the downunder lot thats got to get their driving fixed!

:)

[sodaklostsoul]

I have a stupid question.............in the first pic, why is there a paper clip on Henry's arm?

[fzzy]

Love it, love it, love it!!! Wonderful pics ... looks to me like Henry kind of likes living on the edge at high places ... bit of a risk taker ... what a great time you showed him! :)

[Fangtasia]

I have a stupid question.............in the first pic, why is there a paper clip on Henry's arm?
I think its a bracelet...maybe?...which by the way i found in my car yesterday

Maybe WI can shed some more on it? I can send it back if required :)

[lizzardbits]

Fantastic! I couldn't help but to grin ear to ear :D at every picture! Sharni, the scenery is absolutely GORGEOUS! You live in a very beautiful part of the world!

[sodaklostsoul]

Ah, ok.........Thanks.

Henry had a lot of fun in a beautiful place!!

Lucky Henry.

[Steph]

I have a project for work. Can you mail me a koala? :)

ROFL @ the cannon pic!

[scotzoidman]

His Aussie buddies that went home with him to keep him company and keep him Aussiefied *LOL*
Only problem with sending these guys back with him is that Percy will likely find his new address is at the RoadKill Cafe ;)

[WildIrish]

I think I know where Sharni/Alassë got her enthusiasm, creativity and thoughtfulness from.

Her parents took Henry for a spin while he was in Oz, and just yesterday...my daughter's class received a rather sizable box of goodies from them. Items included more pictures of the places Henry visited, some more Aussie friends, and a real (and hopefully not very accurate) boomerang! The teacher is thrilled with the items and the entire class is having a great time learning about everywhere Henry was.

The paperclip was part of a homemade bracelet she put on him. She claims it was an effort to be creative before she got beading supplies for Christmas, but I think it was really an attempt to get Customs to open the box! :D

[PantyFanatic]

...Henry getting driving lessons so he can go home and teach them upover lot to drive on the correct side of the road!!
:eek:
Ya can see by the expression on his face, Henry is frightened that somebody would steal the glove compartment and leave a steering wheel in it’s place.

[PantyFanatic]

Nice place you have down there.:cool: And some neat pets (http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=12009976&src=eDialog/GetContent) you keep. :eek:












































(no wonder they drive on the wrong side) :rolleyes:

[Oldfart]

Welcome to my back yard.

[Lilith]

WI mention Mem Fox to your kiddos teacher. A perfect author study to incorporate into an Aussie unit.

I'm so pleased to hear the box made it....Mum and Dad were only asking me if it had arrived yet! I'll give em a ring today and let em know it made it....they'll be rapt to know it is being enjoyed!

WI...both myself and my parents felt honoured to have been a part of your daughters project...Thank you hun for asking me *hugz*
