September 25th, 2009 - UPDATE
Okay - this might be the very last update for Halo Kitty. I'm very sad that our chain has been broken. I worked very hard on the plans for this.
BUT - the good news is that, "IF" Kitty doesn't show up at her next destination soon, I WILL be planning a new project like this one. First I need to shop for something like our Halo Kitty, a new tiara and a new journal book. Then we can begin again.
I only wish I had realized much sooner that there would be such a long delay, because I would have started a new event sooner. BUT - it's never too late. So, let's roll....
If anyone has any ideas on who or what we should send, PLEASE LET ME KNOW or REPLY TO THIS POST.
I miss Halo Kitty and was hoping to have her back to me by now. It's been more than 5 months since she left my home to begin her adventure. How sad she must be, to be lost. Maybe she is happy in her new home (???) We can only hope.
Let's give it a couple weeks more, as I have other things to do. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PASS ON ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR THE NEXT ROUND.
I am grateful for all of YOU - my fellow Gratitudians!

*** UPDATE 8/20/2009 ***
After issuing an "amber alert" for our Princess Halo Kitty, she has been located - still in Michigan. She's been rather busy, but is expected to resume her travels this week.
Christine (forRobyn) please be on the lookout for her. Your home is her next destination. I'm so looking forward to seeing some pictures - especially those of Robyn wearing the tiara!
Please let us know when she arrives.
Please note the change below (new instructions for Pam, when you receive the Princess).
She will be skipping her visit with Wendy. The map has not been updated, so, PAM - please send her to Jennifer after your visit with her. (I know there are still a couple other hostesses before you, but I just don't want to forget this.)

Princess Halo Kitty left California - Monday, April 6th, 2009.
If you've signed up to have her as your guest, here's what you'll find in the box, when she arrives:
(Notice - this is a different tiara - much nicer than the other one I was going to send! YAY)
Enclosed are also instructions and guidelines for what to do.
(Sorry I made an error in the postage calculations I put on the instruction sheet. I thought that the maximum amount it could cost would be $4.95. However, when I went back to verify - of course, after the box was packaged and sealed - it was more. IF sent via U.S. Mail Priority Service, the maximum cost is probably about $7.10.) However, you may ship her out via whatever carrier is easiest for you.
The results of our poll in the previous post, was unanimous. So, please remember to send a little trinket/gift to the person next on the list.
There is also enclosed, a list of each person's name and address in the order to be sent. Please add the Princess's "arrival date" at your house, and "departure date", next to your name. A map is included, too. Each location, where the Princess will visit, is identified with a letter. The corresponding name and address is on the list, with the same letter.
I'm looking forward to reading all about her journey and the adventures she will share with each of you. So, please post about it in a post in this group.
HAVE A GREAT TIME!
I'll miss the Princess, but will welcome her home with open arms in a few months. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her (wish I was going with her), and I know she'll be well taken care of with each of you.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
