It looks like Celine's bloody Ziggy hand.

I'm only kidding... Maybe if it is done in another colour it won't look so weird.

I think Celine would prefer white...  

[Cheerfuljane]

I didn't mean for us to paint our whole hand.  Just write the "Je t'aime" sign on it

looks cool

I agree, white would look better!

Can't wait to see how this turns out!

[CelineDionFan710]

me too

[I Love You]

Count me in.

[celine-rc]

Count me in, and if there's anything I could do to help. I really love the idea of the map. I sort of have an idea, maybe we could focus a bit less on Céline the singer, but more on Céline the person.  I know that if I have to write a small text or something, I'll be focusing on the person and not the singer. Anyway, it's just a suggestion. For the hand thing, I agree that white would be better, but I also love the idea of making a heart with our hands.

Agree completely!!

[celinesloverboy]

I think we should put some photos of her meet and greets with us fans. and also some pictures of her on stage performing. I know if I meet her I'll definitely want a picture of me and her in the book. I'm gonna make it happen. I don't car what it takes!

Yuo're so right. We should focus on the person, at least that's what really matters to me. The idea of making a heart with our hands is so sweet, I really love that one!

[ImACelineDionFan]

How about if we each have a small part about ourselves (not TOO wordy)
We could give 5 facts about ourself and a short 5 sentence paragraph about something we want to say to Celine. (5 being Celine's lucky number!) Oh, and of course a picture!

When does the book need to be finished?

[Jennifer]

Hi everyone!  I'm just dropping in to say Hi and answer questions.

First, there IS no process to add your part & give me your information YET.  I'm still trying to work out the following:

1. The Design/Look
2. The Content
3. The Timeline

So... basically... I have nothing figured out. Hah! Don't worry, though... we have time.

Mainly I just need to figure out the contents of the book - what each person's page (or half page) will contain/say/look like.

So, keep the design & content ideas coming!  They are definitely very helpful.

[Jennifer]

Does everyone still want to do the "hand heart" idea?

Defenetly! I think it would be really cute!

I'm just worried a bit about the time we would have to make something of real good quality, to make it better than the first one because march is going to come quick...

YES! HAND HEART idea is great! I think that's something we might be able to all start practicing our photos with....for those who are super excited about this "welcome back" book. Thanks Jennifer for checking in.......but please remember you're not alone...we're all here to help!  

[celine-rc]

I agree. If you ever need any help whats so ever, I'm here. I just want to you to know that, even though it might seem a bit overwhelming now, it's all going to be worth it when we give it to Céline.

[Jennifer]

Thanks for the input & offer to help, everyone!

My only concern with the "heart hands" idea is... what if, for some reason, someone cannot provide me with a picture of themselves like that?  Do I exclude them?  The reason I love this idea is that the book will have a unifying look if we all have a photo like this.

Again, in order to make everything look cohesive, I will probably make all photos black & white.

Unlike last time, we probably won't have extensive, long paragraphs for each fan... and each fan likely won't have his/her own page. For this book, I am hoping to have a LOT of participation... which leads to a huge book if everyone has their own page... which leads to a huge price tag that Jen doesn't want to pay.  

[Jennifer]

For anyone who is on Facebook, I have started a page for the book - HERE.

Feel free to "Like" this page to stay updated.

Of course, I will keep everyone updated on the forum primarily - but it would be nice to have this page as a way to keep track of everyone who is involved.

[SuperLove4Celine]

I don't want to come across as rude or disrespectful, but I find the whole "hand hearts" idea to be corny and unimaginative.  It's been done before and shows no creativity.  That's just my two cents.  Sorry if I've offended anybody.

[celinefanonline]

right but then we can use all these hand hearts pic to make a big hand heart pic for the cover or something
like Tony's album cover

or just like the puzzle thing Celine did with her son for St Justin or something
but we will need someone really good at this to make it
this would be more creative right.......

or maybe SuperLove4Celine you can think something more creative then?? no offence too

[Salla]

The hand heart idea might have been done before, true, but I just thought it would be cute and something we could do in Vegas in the audience as a big group thing, too. But if you have a better idea, feel free to share.

[Cheerfuljane]

It is a little corny, but so is Celine and I think she'll LOVE it !!

[CelineDionFan710]

i know this may sound stupid but what if we cant do the hand heart thing because if a disability?

[Salla]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Celine will love it.

Not a stupid question at all. If you can't do it because of a disability, you could draw a heart or ask someone to draw it for you and have that in the photo with you?

I couldn't agree more! I'm sure she'll love it!

Count me in!

[Jennifer]

Regarding the heart/hands pictures, here are my thoughts:

I like it because it's unifying - the book will have a cohesive look

My issues with it are... what if not everyone can do it?  Physical reasons, technical reasons (can't get a picture taken like that, etc).  

Does anyone have any other ideas that are unifying/cohesive?  If anything, we can just do black & white photos.

[ladylindsey]

so basically we need something easy to do by everyone that will unite the pages of the book and that could possibly be recreated in Vegas...hmmm...I'll be thinking!

I do like the heart idea bc of "One Heart" unifying us all with Céline, but we could prob come up with a few other options!

I like the painted hand idea too, or maybe feet? Footprints...handprints...she has left her stamp on our hearts...I'm brainstorming here. Handprints could be "Hand in Hand" or something.  If you do different colors, you could do something about this is the "colour of our love"...but I know youwanted to do b&w because of unity...maybe have one thing colorful in the picture?

What about something written on our faces or painted on our faces- someone else could always do that for someone who couldn't, etc....



If we knew more about the show we could incorporate that somehow.... we know there is a hollywood movie theme, is there anything we could do with that? I mean it would be amazing if we had the setlist and could dress up like that movie character haha. Waaaay too complicated, I know. hmm..

The hand sign is definitely the easiest.
