Flat Susan Sets off for Liverpool

Here she is - all ready, Friday night, to begin her travels.  Here is Flat Susan sitting in her little case in which she is going to travel.  I know she should maybe just travel in an envelope but as she is so tiny it is a bit daunting for her to rattle around in one so she has her own little travel case.



Well, Flat Susan (FS for short) set off on her worldly travels today, Saturday, 11th May.  I took her with me to Port Sunlight to HSNW stamp show, where she was introduced to Jo who is taking her on a short holiday "on a plane" and then on another short trip before sending her off to her next new hostess, Elizabeth.

Here is the handover which took place in front of the refreshments at the show.


She was actually waving to you all as Jo held on to her and I feigned a smile as I let her go.  I know she will be perfectly alright in Jo's capable hands and because she has not got a passport and Jo lives near the passport office in Liverpool she will have one before she boards the plane.

Well, it could be a while before I see FS now as she will move from one host to another and have a wonderful time.  I can't wait to read about her travels.

Just in case you haven't signed up and would like to have her visit you there's still plenty of time to do so as she will be away months now and until she is about to return home to me she is open to invitations.

All you have to do is email me (addie in the right side bar third from top) your snail address and I will add you to the list which is about 21 people long at the moment.  I will let you know when to expect her and when she arrives with you hopefully, she will have a tag to give you from the previous host.  So I just ask that you make a tag for the next host when you pass her on.

Please write about her and her stay with you, what she did, where she went, giving a little bit of information about where you live, on your blog with a photo or two and then I will make a copy of all the blog entries and compile a book of her travels which I am giving to a couple of little girls who would love to read the adventures FS has had.

Please sign up if you are interested and Flat Susan will be delighted to visit you.

Well FF can visit me up here in the Welsh Marches anytime! It's a lovely idea - we used to do similar in school with a Teddy - he used to have fab adventures and the kiddies loved writing all about it and taking photos wherever they went. x jo

Oh, I'm so glad you gave FS a nice protective suitcase for her travels... I was a bit worried about her setting out into the world so small and vulnerable! Can't wait to hear all about her further adventures!

Flat Susan says HI! from Slovenia. We've all arrived in Ljubljana safe and well and warm and sunny too after driving from Liverpool to Stansted for our flight. I got her on board without paying!
Dolores doesn't mind the extra unexpected guest.
Hope to blog more tomorrow but didn't want you worrying about her.
Love Jo x

G'day Neet
thanks for dropping by my blog for WOYWW. I sssooo wish we lived near each other too as I would love to show you how to make steam punk jewellery. Even my paper crafting usually ends up steampunkified these days LOL. Wahoo FS is on her way and I can't wait to meet her and show her my little patch of OZ
hugs
