Hi Karen!
I can't thank you enough for helping out with our Flat Stanley project. I wish you could have seen the excitement on Aidyn's face when he opened the envelope and saw the pictures you sent. It was truly special.
I hope you had an amazing Valentine's.
Katrina

It was fun to participate and I'm so glad your little boy got such a thrill out of it. Just wondering how many he received? I could do a follow-up post on it. I was surprised how many people actually heard of Flat Stanley.

So far, yours is the only one we received back! We've sent out 25 and we're mailing out more tomorrow so I'm expecting they'll probably start coming in soon.
We were all sick with a nasty stomach bug last week so we didn't start the book yet. Today, we're going out to buy a scrapbook and yours is our first page. :)

i replied to someone to have a flat stanley sent to me, but he hasnt been sent yet.
Im looking forward to the fun time everyone seems to have with him.
How fun to have participated in this event! Hope he gets more too!
Oh I love Flat Stanley! My friend was a teacher in San Diego for little ones and her classroom sent out Flat Stanley in letters to each state, asking that the recipients return him with things unique to their state. So I had lots of fun sending him along with Massachusetts momentos :0)
Oh the awesomeness of Flat Stanley...
no idea what it is but seems like fun!
Stopping by from SITS - love Flat Stanley!
I love Flat Stanley! The 2nd graders at the school where I teach do this every year. Because we have a lot of families from other countries, Flat Stanley gets to visit a lot of cool places.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
