I think you should all know...
 

what a remarkable person Sharni/Alassë is.

My 10 year old daughter had a school project that involved packing up her favorite stuffed animal and sending him off to travel the world. She was mortified at the prospect of never seeing him again, but didn't want to not participate. My thoughts immediately turned to Pixies and to Lilith's box. Um, her Pixie's Box, that is. I pm'd Alassë with the details and she was quite receptive to helping us out. We mailed Henry to Australia and let me tell you...he had a blast. We never, ever, ever expected to get back what we did. There were photographs a plenty. Henry at the beach, Henry driving a bus, and Henry disguising himself as a koala. There were postcards of all the places he visited and of sites around town. There was a beautiful book about Allasë's area. And there was Vegemite. :D We sent Henry with a journal to record his adventures, and it came back full. All in all...Henry had a glorious time. He slept well last night. :D

I can't thank you enough, and I thought the least I could do was to publicly brag about what a great person you are.

Thank you very much.

That is soooo cool! Sharni, you outdid yourself! Kudos to you madam! :)

Good onya, Mate!

well done

;)

Once again I learned that my Pixies family was very cool! ((((Alasse))))

oh man, i'm all mushy inside. what a great story. (((alasse and fam))) (((henry wildirish and the rest of the wildirishes)))

very cool

what a unique flat stanley type project. I'm glad to hear Lil WildIrish-ess got her Henry back safe and sound. Also pleased to hear that Alasse took Henry on a few pleasant adventures on the other end of the globe.

(((WI)))...Oh i'm so pleased Henry made it home!!!

I really enjoyed having him stay...it was so funny to see peoples face when ya walking everywhere with a stuffed animal *LOL*...and taking pics of it *snort*

"He's American ya know' used to be my answer to many a stare.....they'd sorta go 'Oh , ok', then they had this 'dont upset the crazy woman look' in their eyes

All in All Henry and I had a ball.....I'll miss his little furry butt

Ok, I just have to ask ... can I be next? :D ... wonder how much it would cost to ship me?!?!?! ... probably more than the airfare ... LOL! ... Alasse, you're one in a trillion and we love ya!!!! ((((((Alasse))))))

What a fun project. What great lovies.

Now that's WAY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!

How very wonderful that was of you Sharni....you're awesome!

what a great story - and what a great family....

Pretty neat!

You get pics from her so fast, it's like they were shot back from a cannon, and you're not going to share. :(



... but I see she got even for doing everything elses so well. ;)







lmao

Okay I got goosebumps! Very cool... but I'm not really surprised. We have some quality bodies around here. Packaging and contents!

PF ~ That 'got even' is very good for ya....it's good shit....i keep telling ya that *LOL*

Just proves (again) what I knew already..... Sharni/Alassë is wonderful lady in just about every way I could imagine. (Still trying vegemite out though.....so I'll reserve judgement on the other few!!)

DM

Sharni, you are an angel. But then, we knew that.

((( HUGS ))) to you, mamm!

Awwwwwwwwwww!

Is it weird of me to be jealous of a stuffed animal?

Oh...and what "persuasion" of a stuffed animal is Henry (ie:cat, dog, goose)?

((((WI & Sharni))))

I've got extra!....... Let me know if you need some. :eek:









;)

I don't normally get into the "warm & fuzzy" stories, but this is the tops...just goofy enough to be appealling, & obviously a great learning experience for the little WI...& proof again that there's no better place to call home than pixies, & no better group of friends to have...esp. Sharni...

how sweet! i hope my lil ones get to do somthing like that one day ! awsome stuff , sharni does def. rock!

i am so very impressed, what a great thing to do :)

Sharni,

Done good, Henry'd hard.

Are you planning on posting any pics of you and Henry skinny-dipping in the dam?

*LOL*...not warm enough nor enough water in it for that Oldfart!

I felt so honoured that WI asked me....my parents loved Henry too (he went to visit) *LOL* It was fun and something different. I just wished i had've had more time to take him around (in and outta hospital fixed that *sigh*)

Dam shame.

Thank you for sharing this great story....
 

Please post some of Henry's pictures.

I'll second that. Great idea, lakritze! ;)

I will post some if its ok with WI....so ask him *LOL*

WI,

Should Henry be outed?

LMAO...... outed makes me think Henry is comming out of the closet.

Uh-oh... we just escaped from the gay whale thread, are we about to be sucked in by a gay stuffed animal coilition? :eek:

I would love to have Henry's adventure shared with you guys! My daughter brought everything to school to share with the class so I can't scan any in yet but if Alassë has extra prints...that's great! Everyone I've told this story to (and the list is very long) has been as amazed as I have. It really was a remarkable response and I can't thank you enough.
