Last night my parents finally gave into me going to see Celine, it's about time. All of this time, for months, I have been planning out in my head like what would she wear, what will I wear, what would she sing, what's it going to be like, what would I do if I met her? The stupid little questions that race through your mind because of excitement. I also planned on a gift idea. While on the phone last night with my best friend Holly I figured to share it with her. At first, I thought it would be a spectacular idea Then as moments went by and I explained it, I began to think, "I'm such a loser this gift is the most dumbest thing I ever thought of." Holly then told me, "it can't be stupid if it's coming from your heart." So of course I listened to her. I then wanted to come here and show you all my idea.

If I actually go through with this it's not going to be just my gift. All of you are going to have to put input on this.

So here's the idea:
Photo album. I know you're thinking "wowwww. How common!" But listen to my idea. Every single day we are all loaded with new pictures from the tour or what she did that day in the country she visited and all that jazz. She must take dozens of pictures each day and never sees them again because they are released to the media or wherever. Well, wherever they are going to we all know one thing, you can always find them here at the forum, they always end up here thanks to the amazing people who share them with us. Anyway! We also have people going to different set tour dates and coming back with their reviews and different emotions from seeing the show.

I'm going to put together a photo album, a day by day one, starting from February 14th. The start of the tour. On this day I will be taking pictures from that night and putting them in the album. I will also take pictures of what she may have done outside of the concert arena like visiting and helping the people in South Africa, going out with the family, anything she filled her time with on that day.  I will also be filling up that page with a little note to Celine and photo of the fan who attended the concert that night and how it made them feel or how it may have changed them or impacted them in anyway. I will also be putting extras like Feb. 15 - That's Just The Woman In Me Special, you can write about what you thought of the performance or say Feb. 23 when her Sensational fragrance was released, I can put in photos from the shoot. Stuff like that, you know?


I'm going to be looking for pictures like nuts so anything you find on a daily basis if you can send to me.
Also, I'm going to need stuff from the fans who go see the concert. So say you get back from the concert you can send me a message or email to: celine.takingchances@hotmail.com with what you want me to put in the book.
For those who do not attend a show and want to say something to Celine. Maybe that day you were thinking about her and wanted to incorporate it into the book, you may also send me a message or email.
Not just that but I also have to design my photo album, wohoo. XD I don't want to buy her a cheesy already made one. I'm going to buy one and make it pretty all by myself. Thank goodness for me being artsy.


This is going to take alot of my time and I'm going to have to be very dedicated. I'm only a girl of sixteen and I'm busy with school and all but this means alot to me and I want it to mean alot to Celine. Because like I said she takes photos like crazy and never sees them, this is a good way for her to look back and relive the experience she went through on that day.

Unfortunately, I'm seeing the show on September 5, so the book won't be complete with all the tour dates but atleast she will have seven months of memories and messages from the fans.


I want to give her something special, after all she has done for me...she deserves it.


I don't know if this is dorky so I wanted to post my idea first and see if I get positive feedback and a show of hands of who would want to be apart of this book because I'm going to need as many as I can get.

I would love to have quick responses so I can start gathering all my photos and information in an organized way.

i think its a really nice idea deffinatley, and its good your so passionate about it. i would get involved if you did do it. all i will say though is that there is a few problems with an idea such as this, so many people try and do things like this and its just so hard to get it to her sadly. even if it gets given to someone conected to her at the venue its hard to know if she ever actually gets it. but if you have a way around this.... and as i said its a really nice idea.

If you have not read about my idea you can visit the thread here.

I am going to need everyone's help because remember this is not just my gift, I'm just handing it over. This all of your gifts as well. I need your input and from here forth I am dedicated in doing this. I just commited myself and I can't go back on it but it's going to be very difficult if I don't have people in on in it.

Those who have seen the show. Please message me on here or email me at celine.takingchances@hotmail.com with your reviews. I know most have posted them up here but that's hard to sort through, I need a bit of organization. So send them to me if you want them in my book.  
Please be sure to include your name, where you are from, date you attended the show, and the review.
If you want to you can also include a picture of yourself and age.
You may also leave Celine a little note, say how you feel for her, what she has done for you, whatever you want. It comes from the heart.

Also if any of you retrieve new photos of Celine from the time she arrived in South Africa for the start of the tour til the time you are reading this please message or email them to me.

I need to get so organized it's not even funny.

Thankyou everyone and I hope we can make this a success!
