janet Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks for the new pictures, Elbeth. It's so nice to see the end of the story - to see everyone home safe and sound (Her family looks happy to see her) And what wonderful souvenirs!

wytchy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It´s so good to see Emma is safely home again surrounded by all her friends. She must be telling stories of all her adventures for days.......... Thanks for the homecoming pictures Elsbeth! love from Gouda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I remember that Emma spent quite a while as a governess, so that means she is well-educated; and it's obvious she can use a computer to send her emails; soooooo -- I think Emma should write a book about her world travels :lol: I would certainly read anything she wrote! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytchy Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 What a great idea!!!! :lol: Call it "Emma in Wonderland" or "Adventures of a lady in the WWW" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the book idea. She would have lots of supporting writers to help! It could be "Emma's Adventures" or "Emma's Online Adventures" or "The Greenleaf Travel Log" or something else.

Steve_in_PA Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 In another group that I'm in, they had a mini cow that traveled around. He went to England, Canada & all over the USA. He just returned home & they posted a video of his travels on You Tube. I thought you would enjoy seeing it. :lol: Steve in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Steve!! THAT IS AWESOME! The video is great (love the music) - this is very inspiring - makes me want to make a video for Emma's travels, or make one for the next travel project. This is GREAT!! What a cute cow, too.

Steve_in_PA Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I really liked it. :lol: A lady in California put it together using the Windows movie maker. I've done a lot of travelers over theyears & that video made this one very unforgettable ! Steve in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could so easily do one of these for Emma. All of the pictures are already on the site, all we would need is a list of city/state/country she visited with the host's name, some google maps, and some music! What fun!

pastalinda Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Jess, Are you volunteering? Linda P. Emma's host in Massachusetts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondbaffled Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Lol! No, wasn't exactly volunteering, but sure I'll give it a try. Movie Maker doesn't look too complex. Is there a running list of hosts and where they are from? I know I can probably go back and start at post 1 of this thread and find them all. I could copy pics out of everyone's Emma gallery albums and then figure out how long it will be. Any requests for the background music? This could be fun!

wytchy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi I have Windows moviemaker and used it reasonably frequent. If you want, I can help... rgds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondbaffled Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 It seems pretty easy so far, but I may have questions when I go to add music! Just couting Elsbeth's bon voyage pics and all of Wytchy's pics we're already up to 57 pictures!!!! The Small World video was over 8 minutes - I wonder how long ours will be?!

beyondbaffled Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Sorry, forgot to add this to my last post - The songs I heard in the Small World video were: I've been everywhere - Johnny Cash Get your kicks on Route 66 - Nat King Cole Country Roads - John Denver Holiday Road - Lindsey Buckingham Texas - Charlie Daniels Band Now I love "I've been everywhere" and "Holiday Roads," but do you think anyone would mind if we borrowed from their songs? Or what do you guys think about "Happy Trails" by Roy Rogers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytchy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I think I would limit the pictures to three or four per host. There were quite a few of us, the video would go on and on if you used them all.... You could use living doll by Cliff Richard.. The girl developed quite a character on her travels......

LLyn M. Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'd probably wait til after a wedding....but a video is a grand idea!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondbaffled Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 True, a wedding would be the ultimate end to the adventure! I've already started, but I can definitely add those pics in when they come. Have we heard any definite news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Wow - I just got caught up on this thread and I am so impressed with the energy and skills of you folks!! As for a wedding, it would be in June if it does indeed happen (one never knows what can happen in a relationship). I condoned a lengthy engagement. But as Jess said, those could be added later. And I think Wytchy has a good point about taking 3 per person, plus any super-duper iconic images (the one where Emma is in a pub with the top hat on is stellar!), would keep the length down. We're lucky we have so many awesome photos to choose from. I love the song ideas. The video sounds soooo cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Note to self: Take wytchy's advice! Just adding Elsbeth's first 4 pics, and then Wytchy's 53 the video is over 3 minutes long! I'm going to have to go back and limit quite a bit more. I'm working on justmesue's pics and she's got over 70! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckMouse Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 GUILTY! Because I was the last hostess, and had her longer than most people (Jenn was out of town for the Holidays), besides being over Christmas and New Years, I posted 80 pictures plus story line. B) I'm not confessing to how many pictures I actually took. Let's just say I'm glad we're in the digital-picture age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 This will be fun! Thanks for volunteering Jessie, I look forward to seeing your creation. And I think that Happy Trails would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
