Where in the World is Huckleberry?

An idea for a fun game was born at breakfast on the last day of our St.
Louis Scrap Girls get-together. Somehow we got on the subject of Flat
Stanley and Sandi said we should do a Scrap Girls version of it. She had
purchased a cute little purple monkey at the St. Louis Zoo gift shop and we
thought he would be the perfect Scrap Girls ambassador and we named him
Huckleberry, because he is from Missouri (Twain country) and huckleberries
are kinda purple.

So, Huckleberry is beginning a journey, one we hope will be worldwide, and
we want you to be a part of it. To participate you have to agree to:

1) Receive Huckleberry
2) Take some photos with him in them showing something about where you live
or are visiting
3) Scrap a layout and post it in the Travel Gallery
4) Pass (ship) Huckleberry onto another Scrap Girl to continue his journey
5) To love, respect and protect Huckleberry while he is in your possession

If you want to participate, post to this thread and I will compile a list.
When it is your turn, I will contact you by PM for your mailing address. We
can't guarantee that we will go strictly in the order that you post to the
thread because there may be some person-to-person hand offs, but we will
endeavor to follow the order. If it's not convenient for you to accept
Huckleberry at the time you are contacted, you will not be dropped from the
list and will be offered another chance later. If you decide that you no longer are
interested in participating when you are contacted, that is ok too.

Sound like fun? We think so!

Wishing safe travels to Huckleberry as he begins his trip around the world!

[Sara Arell]

Sounds like fun, Pat - count me in - I would love to do this!

[SodScrap]

So, I have to admit, I'm a little envious of that little purple guy. I mean, who wouldn't love to travel around the world to meet all the fabulous ScrapGirls?? Can't wait for him to visit my little town!

[Pab]

Sounds good to me. It will be great to see all the LO's that come from this adventure. Count me in. I already know the place I will take him for a visit in our area when he arrives here. lol

[Cheri T]

I wanna come with you Huck! Safe travels and hope to see you soon...we'll show you a good time in Iowa! (Or I'll tell DH we need to travel somewhere exotic for Huck's sake;) teehee

[angleigh]

I can't wait for Huck to come visit me (and Diesel)

LOL. I can just imagine Diesel and the turtle and Huckleberry all together. They'll be great friends.

[lorac]

Count me in Pat. This sounds like lots of fun. My kitties would love to meet Huck and have their picture taken with him. That's if they would stand still for two seconds. Safe travels Huck and I'm looking forward to seeing you in The Bronx real soon.

I know of a couple of places that Huck would love to visit while he is here.

[teecee]

This sounds like fun. You can count me in.

[sarabethp]

ME! I want Huckleberry to visit me. What a wonderful idea!

[JoannB]

Sign me up! He HAS to come and visit me, and my other Wasatch Front Scrap Girl peeps! I can't wait to have him come and visit!

[countrydi]

Count me in too! This sounds like so much fun!!!

[Cheri T]

Huck is going to have the bestest time!!

[SandiC.]

I can vouch for Huckleberry as a very easy guest and traveling companion. He is very well behaved and is always pleasant and smiling. Never any trouble at all. Its only been a little over 24 hours since we said goodbye and I miss him already. Hopefully we'll hear from him in the next day or two. it sounds as though he's going to be on the road a lot in the near future. I know you all will just love him to pieces.

[Heather09]

What a fun idea?! Count me in, I have a couple cool places in mind I could take him on his visit.

[Laurel Lakey]

Oh, count me in! Huckleberry will have lots of fun visiting the beach with us, methinks!

[AggieB]

What a neat idea! I'd like to play. I'm looking forward to seeing where Huckleberry travels.

[mimes1]

Hmmm, I wonder where Huckleberry is today?

[B&K Mom]

Put me on the list too!

ohhhh, I think I know!! I was wondering if he was a good helper today, since you had such a big chore to do....

Tee hee........Sarah, your name came up as someone who would be interested when we were discussing this and I said "she'll probably knit him a purple monkey friend"! LOL He will have fun at your place for sure!

[PolkaDot]

LOL! What a great idea! He can come and visit me in PA anytime, and I will even take him along to Hawaii if we go back as we hope to do, as long as Sandi is sure he will behave on the flight.

Well, I can't verify the air travel yet, but since he was last seen by me at the St. Louis airport, but I'll bet there will be some ScrapGirl out there who can verify that he is a delightful traveling companion. And I bet he would love Hawaii. Do they make flowered shirts that small? He does travel by car very well though he did get a little rambunctious on the trolley.

I think Huckleberry needs a tiny flowered lei!

[CRS]

Oh, how fun!! Count me in! Dh's cousin's children do a version of this and we've taken their Flat (Whoever) sledding, to Yankee Stadium and the zoo.

Well, I might not get a purple one knit before then, but I have an orange, blue and a lot of brown ones. Plus, a blonde and 2 redheaded monkeys here. My 5 yr old DS LOVES monkeys.

[LauraS]

Count me in. I'm heading to Vegas on Oct 15,16,17 if he makes it my way that quick. I love this idea!

[tiza126]

I found a stowaway! A certain little purple monkey named Huckleberry was hiding in my purse when I got home from Hannibal! He had a few adventures here in St. Louis....
