Flat Joe with Flat Stanley!

Yes, Flat Joe has been visiting his cousin Flat Stanley down in Ohio. Sandy Holladay, Joe’s caretaker, has been doing a wonderful job of taking care of him. It’s no wonder since she has a blog called the Traveling Suitcase and has a lot of fun with her own Flat Stanley and his travels. Here is a recent picture.

Flat Joe at Sullivan's Island

Flat Joe just finished a nice trip down to Summerville, South Carolina. He had the pleasure of visiting the queen bee herself, Melissa Marro. Melissa is owner and creator of creating the hive.com. Here is a little bit about the site in her own words:

“The Hive is a dynamic social community designed to help provide a connection between everyone in the arts, crafts and hobby industry. Whether you are a manufacturer, professional artist, hobbyist, retailer or consumer, you have a voice.”

Her site is relatively new but is growing tremondously fast. I joined a little over a month ago and have really enjoyed being a part of the community!

I would like to invite you to visit her site and check it out and maybe become a member. It’s Free!

First off I would like to say thanks to all the Flat Joe followers out there. It has been going really well and I hope that in the near future I will be able to expand the project to reach out to even more people and be able to bring you even more content.

The latest Flat Joe caretaker is Jenn from Bend Oregon. She had contacted me when I put a post up on facebook and she was so excited that I really could’t say no. Jenn just started up a blog and Flat Joe had the honors of being her first post. Here is a little bit from Jenn’s blog. To see the full post follow this link:

Flat Joe arrived to Bend, Oregon safely on 5/18/10 after his last journey to Napa, California!

A little about Flat Joe, before we get started. Joseph, an amazing jewelry designer has created a necklace character and he goes by the name of Joe. He travels around to meet new people and to visit different  places.
Joseph’s jewelry consists of custom hand-made necklaces that come in different styles and they can also include gems, birthstones, pearls, and crystals! He also repairs any kind of jewelry and buys used gold, too. You can catch a glimpse of his beautiful jewelry here–Joseph Allen Designs

First off, he met me right out of the mail.

Next, he was introduced to the amazing view of Bend, Oregon from our back deck.

I was so excited to host Flat Joe! He came to us all the way from Georgia, and seemed a little jet-lagged from the long trip! After a nice nap to acclimate him to our timezone, we started our adventures. 

First, he met the family. Me (Michelle), Chloe (the black lab), Tim (my husband) and Stabler (the feisty cat):

Thanks Michelle for a great post!!
