SMarieCarlson Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 I have signed in to Celeste's blog - I even added a message (I think I did that correctly ) You did it correctly. Minus on part. I would really like the blog to be a way for Celeste to tell her story in first person. So only post an actual blog post when you have her. You can post in the comments any time though. Sorry I should have specified. I thought it would be fun and get our creative juices flowing. Oh yes and if anyone wants to opt out you have until May 7th. You also have until May 7th to give me all the details I need. If I do not have them by then I will be removing you from the list. So basically May 7th is the deadline to give info including addresses. I will send and email to person next in line with their info for shipping Celeste to the next host. Just so addresses aren't spread all over the world. I will be typing up the rules after I finish this post. If you don't like the rules you can opt out. I can't wait for the 10th. (well actually I can since there is a show I am in on the 8th and I am no where near being ready.) :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMarieCarlson Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Rules: 1. Have Fun! PM me at to know she has arrived safely. B) 2. You may not alter Celeste’s permanent appearance. (meaning don’t change her face or hair. ) She can have clothing added to her just not taken off. The clothing must be removable. 3. You must post at least once to her blog in 1st person of Celeste describing her stay and the events and people she met. www.travelwithceleste.blogspot.com. (Remember Celeste is in search of her heritage. So anything you can do to help her find that is awesome.) 4. You must take photographs of her journey and post them to the blog. There is a minimum of 2 photos. 5. Do not use Celeste in any degrading, inappropriate, or pornographic act. 6. You may add anything you like to Celeste’s Traveling Box. If something is too large it must be sent directly to me so that other participants do not get the burden of extra postage. Email me for my address if there is an occurrence of that. 7. Celeste can stay with you as long as you like up to 2 weeks. :yes: 8. You must PM me at when you are shipping Celeste out to her next host so I can inform the next host that she will be coming. 9. Everything that is found in her box must be sent with her to her next host. A packing list will be included. Please fill in what ever you add to her box. 10. There is a gift for each member of the Traveling doll project. Please only take the one with your name on it. A note about Celeste: Celeste Debwa is a wandering spirit. She has never had a solid home. She loves the nomadic living style she has had for her entire life. She has stayed with her older brother since she was a baby. They traveled as orphans. Now that she is 22 she wants to find her heritage for herself. Her brother Jacob is staying behind to build her a house where she can stay and settle when she returns. She is not to sure on the house Jacob is building for her. But she agreed to live in it for a while. Jacob has been writing to Chloe the witch who owns the Blue Cat Mercantile. Celeste is sure they will get married and have a family. Celeste never new her mother, Jacob said their mother took of and joined a gypsy caravan when she was just a year old, and left 6-year-old Jacob in charge of her. Celeste only has a few photos to remember her by. She even has one of the caravans she took off in. So here is where her journey starts. She is headed out on May 10, 2010 to find her heritage, and maybe even her mother, Jacqueline Debwa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janet Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Your rules all sound quite reasonable, Sara (and I'm all excited that I get a gift!) I will email my address to you. Will you be letting us know where we are on the list so that I can have a rough idea when to expect Celeste? I'm am also looking forward to the 10th; I have really enjoyed following the stories of Molly and Emma, and I'm pleased to be able to participate this time. Thanks for getting us started!

sexyfeet Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi Sara, Just double checking I did pm you my info right?? I would hate to lose out because of a simple mistake!! Sorry, I just havn't been sleeping to well lately so my brain isn't exactly working right these days!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'm looking forward to see the start and where Celeste get's into too, her bike is ready . Will you be letting us know where we are on the list so that I can have a rough idea when to expect Celeste? I think that probably it is something that hostess get the scheme and how long she will stay at people's place. Especially the holiday season starts too and I truly like it that I get any idea at what time she will be at my place. All the rules be clear to me, and perhaps I forgot something but I think I give you all my information, but will send you it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Okay, you are totally right. How do I do that now that the time limit is up. Oh and I still need your addy Holly. You can PM one of the admins to get them to delete it, if you don't have an edit button (mine doesn't always show up, but it's there to the left of the multi-+ button). I'm sending you a PM.

SMarieCarlson Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Okay, so a lot of you still have to actually send me the full name and address of where Celeste will be sent. I obviously really need that. Due to the length of stay, shipping times and other acts of God, I cannot tell you EXACTLY when she will arrive at your house. But I will post a list of who she is visiting in the order she is visiting them. Thanks Holly I will be sure to PM them. A few of you also have not accepted the invitation to the blog. If you haven't done that by the 7th you will be removed. (sorry that is part of the rules) I just need to know who is really going to take it seriously.

janet Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Absolutely. I'm sure no one expects an exact schedule, but a list of hosts would be very helpful. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniKat Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 This sounds like a lot of fun. I'd love to play along if you've got more room on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMarieCarlson Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Sorry Kathleen, the list is full. And I don't feel comfortable having new members who are not Gold Members participating. It makes me uneasy because you don't know if the person is legit or not. But In Celeste's story line she will travel again. Maybe if you reach Gold by then you can join in. I would love to have you. :wub: I hope there is no offense taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexyfeet Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Thanks Sara, as I know it is hard to determine when exactly she will arrive at each destination it is nice to see the order in which she is scheduled at least this gives us a rough idea!! Oh, and I just sent you a PM with my new address!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Great to see the list Sara, I guess Celeste can't sleep, she must be very exciting to start the trip around the world. And ..., my hubby had won, he suggested a special day out with Celeste, and guess what he had arranged two tickets , I swear it almost looks that one of the grandchildren come over for a holiday. But I think Celeste will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMarieCarlson Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 As you all know the magical day of May 7th is approaching there are still some of you who have not accepted the invite to the blog. If this is not accepted by tomorrow at 9pm central time. I am sorry to say but I will have to pull your name from the list. Celeste will be very upset if her trip is shortened. .
