Flat Joe's First Visit!

Flat Joe's first visit is over and he is now heading out to Cumming, Georgia! Paige did a great job of taking care of Flat Joe and did a wonderful write up on her blog. She has chosen Susan G. Komen to be the organization to which $5.00 of every sale will go to. You can visit Paige's blog and say Hi at "Some Days You Gotta Dance".

Here are some words and pictures from Paige:

Flat Joe came to visit me in Alabama! The Flat Joe project is the creation of artist Joe over at Joseph Allen Designs. It is a variation of the Flat Stanley project that school age children participate in. I was Joe's first caretaker and it was a whirlwind of a week. I wish I had been able to document it better, but I did good to get through the week as we had our school auction during his visit.

Meet Joe -


Joe arrived in Anniston, Alabama which is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, conveniently located halfway between Birmingham and Atlanta. Our are has a diverse economy, a beautiful natural setting and warm, friendly people. We have a Museum of Natural History, the Berman Museum of World History, the Chief Ladiga Trail, the Pinhoti Hiking Trail and the base formerly known as Ft. McClellan. We are the summer home to the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and home to the Knox Concert Series. We also host the Noble Street Bike Race and the Woodstock 5K race.

Since I work at a PK3-12 grade college-preparatory school, most of Joe's week was spent doing school related work. We attended a Varsity Baseball game... a Varsity Girls' Soccer game... and we babysat my two nephews (hence the dump truck)...




Joe had a busy week as we also taught 4 and 5 year old Sunday School, 3 and 4 year old Cubbies and attended our school's annual auction.

He is now leaving Anniston, Alabama and is headed to Cumming, Georgia.

Flat Joe is on his way to Alabama!

The Flat Joe project is officially begun. First stop is Anniston, Alabama. Paige has accepted the opportunity to be his first caretaker. I am looking forward to hearing from her and seeing where flat Joes adventure's take him.


Here is some other information on the flat Joe project.

 

All caretakers posted will have the opportunity to choose a charity where I will donate $5.00 for every sale that is made between the time of posting their story and the next one.

Also anyone putting the words "flat joe" in one of the instruction to seller boxes during checkout when purchasing from my shop will get a 10% discount refunded to them after payment is confirmed.

Have you ever heard of Flat Stanley? How about Flat Joe?

I wanted to do a variation of the Flat Stanley Project. If you are unfamiliar with Stanley here is a link to tell you all about him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Stanley I would like to start out by sending out a hand stamped necklace (we'll call it Flat Joe) to someone who, if I sent you the necklace, would be willing to write me back and tell me a little about yourself and about Flat Joe's adventures with you. If you have a website or blog you would be able to pitch your site. But I would like it to be more than just that. I would love to see where Flat Joe's adventures take him and hear all about the people that he will visit. As an incentive to take care of Flat Joe I will be offering a 25% discount, with an opportunity for a larger discount, to all of his caretakers for writing in their story and passing him along.

I would love to hear your comments. If you would like to be considered to begin the Flat Joe Project, let me know.

Free Shipping!

Free US Priority Shipping Until Valentines Day!
I also discounted international shipping!
