Shelley, Bride of Frankendecken ~ Chat & Help

Over in Deck Creation, we have been working (and playing) to create a Bride for Frankie. 45 people have contributed cards and fabric scraps to the project. Shelley will follow the sun around the world and meet each one of you. At the end of her travels, there will be a Drawing to decide upon her permanent home.

Follow her progress along the route here

Post your wonderful experiences with Shelley here in the journal!

Let the chatter begin . . .

Woohoo! I can't believe the Travels of Shelley will begin now!

I'm very excited to be in the middle of the list this time around. That will be a nice change (and a challenge for my impatience) from Frankie's world tour where I was among the first five people to have him.
May I suggest that DeadlyNightshade and Aulruna are put next to each other with me either before or after them? As far as I know, the two of them live much closer together. (I'd be fine with shipping the deck over to the Czech Republic if that is an issue for any of the two.)

Thank you so much for setting everything up, cardlady22!

Your suggestion has been taken. Thank you!

I really do feel like the sponsor of a debuttante at the ball . . .

Oh, I think I've been left out of the mailing list

How exciting! Can't wait for Shelley to begin her travels.

You haven't! I can only send a message to 10 people at a time, so I'm not that far down the list of names.
ETA: Oh, I do see what happened. Sorry for the flub. It's been corrected in the Travel thread.

I see Shelly goes from my home, to Blue's...I shall hand carry it there! Maybe we'll have a special something-or-other thanking/welcoming her to her new stop

Hello - if the UK and Canada are next to each other (which you seemed to suggest in the other thread) - do put me at the end of whichever is first, in case it happens to hit a time when I can manfully carry her across the pond in person....

Yes, that possibility is firmly in mind! Shelley should be so lucky as to Travel With you.
