Janaury 17, 2009 - Atlanta, GA (Philips Arena)

I want to run another idea by you all. Off the 4 shows I am going to I wanted to share it with this venue because we are all the most excited and I think we will have the largest group of forum members attending this one! So here goes:

I was laying in bed last night and thinking about Celine of course and it crossed my mind that she ALWAYS gets frogs, some with really cute tshirts and others that may sing. BUT ... what if we got a fairly large frog and all signed a little message on him. Like the 'doodlebears' - now those are washable and are meant to be written on. but we can just get a bunch of different color sharpies and write a small message to Celine and sign our names to our message. Once we all finish it would be covered! Then... we could name him something clever like Mr. Whispers or something .. and put a card with it explaining that whenever Celine in not on stage or maybe she's feeling down or having to sacrifice family time. Mr. Whipsers is there to whisper little love stories to warm her heart and remind her of all the love she has surrounding her.

Now of course we wouldnt have room for huge stories of how she changed our lives. but if we go through with this then you can be thinking of a clever way to show your love in a sentence or two. (and practice writing small with a sharpie) ... something like. "I wouldnt be the same without you. You took the time for me and I will see you through. - Love, Chelsey"

JUST an idea. Then, maybe we could get it put in her dressing room on her little table. What a cute little suprise!

Whatcha think? Let me know..

January 4, 2009 at 04:53 PM

OH YEAH- AND..

I am also selling 1 ticket to this ATLANTA show.

Chelsey, I think that is a GREAT idea! I think Celine would absolutely love it! I'm up for anything to make Celine feel very welcome and very loved! :clap:

Can't wait to meet all of you guys! SO SOON! :kicking:

Chelsey, I L O V E the idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You KNOW I am UP for anything that WELCOMES Celine to Atlanta in a BIG WAY!!! :clap:

I was just looking at stuffed animals yesterday and came across a HUGE frog and of course, thought of CELINE!!!

YES, lets do it!!!!!!!!!!!! :whee:

ALSO, I have been thinking about the banner that we are going to make to have one of her team members put in Celine's dressing room. What do you think about each one of us bring a picture of ourself and put it on the banner with our message?? I have SO much stuff for the banners. Glue sticks, stickes, so many different colors of markers, etc. 13 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Kare and the info about the Omni Hotel having a web special, I now have a room there, right NEXT DOOR to Phillips Arena! Thanks Kare! :thumbsup2:

Again, Chelsey...........LOVE the HUGE STUFFED FROG idea!!!! :kicking:

We all need to start planning on when/where to meet, work on banners, and sign the frog!! :yes:

Wishing you all a great Monday!

Chat with ya later.....

Elisa

January 5, 2009 at 02:19 AM

I'm in on the HUGE frog idea! :yes:

LOVE IT!!! Let's make it happen, guys! :clapping:

Can't wait!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!

January 5, 2009 at 09:31 PM

First of all I would love to join you all if I can find a flight out of BWI, and staty over night.and flight back the next day or even on Monday. As for a banner idea, how about making a MY LOVE/ OUR LOVE for her and hold it up when she does MY LOVE.So that she know that we are all thinking of her. What do u all think.

January 5, 2009 at 10:39 PM

YEEEAAh!!! Let's do it! I'm in on whatever!!! but the frog is a great idea!!!!

can't waittt!!!

January 5, 2009 at 11:28 PM

Does anyone know if there are any floor seats left at the Atlanta show? I saw her in Kansas City on Saturday and it was so not enough for me! I wasn't ready for it to be over:) I gotta come to Atlanta!!!THe frog idea sounds great!

January 6, 2009 at 12:50 AM

Hold on Fyoung98!

My dear friend Elisa just might have that floor seat ticket you are looking for! Of course, she is the one who has to confirm the ticket. But I just thought I would make you aware of the good possibility of it being available. :yes: Good Luck.....

Toni

January 6, 2009 at 02:34 AM

i also have a ticket available. its not a floor seat, its lower level but just let me know.

okay, we need to start looking for frogs. I hope i can buy one this thursday (thats when I get paid) but i cant spend alot. Plus, we have to find one with almost no fur so we can write on it. something like terry cloth or something. START looking! post links to any ideas! Remeber the size too. maybe 15 to 20 inches. dunno. ... I thought about the banner idea for inside the show too. if we just got a couple of yards of white clothe from a fabric store it could be decorated and folded up in someones bag much easier than paper. then, just sew a loop at each end and stick one of those small tent sticks that pop into place but also break down into about a foot long (please tell me someone knows what I'm talking about) then you could just slide the stick into the loop and there ya go. but yet everything can be condensed down to a size where you can get by security. if you try to just hold the banner up during the show you'll piss the people of behind you who cant see. BUT you would also have to get fans down your row of seats to agree to hold up the other end. I'm not on the floor so this would be someone else's doing.

i'll buy the frog but you guys have to help me find one and FAST! No more than 25 bucks! Sorry, I'm a poor college student lol..

January 6, 2009 at 03:43 AM

Hey Chelsey,

I found a few frogs off of this website...frogstore.com haha but anyways, I just looked for ones that would give a lot of writing space. I found this huge plush frog on a ton of websites but it was really expensive, so these are a few reasonable ones I found. One of them is 35 which I know is above your limit, but I'll just throw it in there anyways!

1. http://www.frogstore.com/product.php?produ...=313&page=1 (this one we could put some flowers in the middle, or a card?)

2. http://www.frogstore.com/product.php?produ...=313&page=1 (has a lot of belly space to write on lol)

3. http://www.frogstore.com/product.php?produ...=313&page=1 (this one is kinda funny looking but it would have writing space haha)

Those are the only ones I have come across so far, but I'll look for some more a bit later! Hope everyone's getting pumped!!!

Hey everyone!

As my dear friend Toni stated, I "may" have a floor ticket available, but it is still kinda up in the air at the moment. It is a long story as to how I may have an extra ticket, but I will certainly let you know IF it becomes available.

11 D A Y S !!!!!!! :clap: I can't WAIT, I NEED this show so bad!! Work (and other things) have stressed me out beyond words, so I need some CELINE time!!!! I can't wait to meet you all, work on the banner, and find this frog to sign. Chelsey, I can throw in a little money towards it. I am on the lookout myself for one.

Wishing you all a great day!!!!!

Elisa

January 6, 2009 at 06:21 PM

Elisa, we will make you completely STRESS FREE in Atlanta! You will laugh more than you have ever laughed, TRUST me!

I am not having much luck finding anything, where are you all looking? I KNOW we ALL want to make this show a memorable one for Celine, so I will do what I can to make the frog a possibility, pass on any and all links of the frogs you are finding.

NEW UPDATE!! My friends and I will be staying in Atlanta FRIDAY and SATURDAY night, so there will be NO problem about working on the banner if the weather is COLD (hope it won't be though so we can stand and not freeze as we wait for Celine to arrive!!!)

See you ALL NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is finally ALMOST HERE!!!!! :whee: :whee:

Kimberly, I can'it wait to be completely stress free in Atlanta. SO looking forward to it!!!!! :kicking:

hahaha thats the same frog I keep finding! I mean how many are there of us, we could all pitch in like 10 dollars if everybody wanted to? I know you said Chelsey you wanted to buy it, and I'll keep looking for cheaper ones, but if this is the biggest one and if it works I'm willing to pitch in a bit! Whatever you guys want to do! I'll continue looking!

January 7, 2009 at 08:03 PM

OOPS. I didnt finish my post! and I love that frog! I just cant put that much down and get paid later cause I dont have that much I'm sorrry guys. But if someon else is willing to go ahead and order it then I can put 20 bucks into it! and with 6 people its paid for.. with 12 people we only need 10 bucks. whose all in? I LOVE IT! BUT.. can we get it shipped intime?? Just a little over a week!

haha, i wonder how big it really is. Can you imagine Celine taking that on her plane with her! lol.. hahaha better yet, in the suv on the way to the plane!!

can anyone get it now?

I don't mind putting the order in if you guys want me to go ahead and do it! It says that only ground shipping is free, and it looks like they are located in Toledo, Ohio. They also said allow for 48 hours for it to be processed. So what do you guys think? Just give me the word and I will go ahead and get it for you guys and we can figure out the money situation when we all get into Atlanta!

January 7, 2009 at 11:44 PM

First of all I would love to join you all if I can find a flight out of BWI, and staty over night.and flight back the next day or even on Monday.

Ok, here"s the deal,I can come down to atlanta on a cheap flight round trip, but here"s the thing I need a place to stay over night,and pick me up at the airport. I;m willing to spit the cost of a room so that its cheaper. As for chelbie if YOU STILLL HAVE THAT TICKET I be glad to sit w/ you. ALSO as for the frog thing I have a frog just like that but its green w/a yellow belly with a bow on it. LET ME KNOW before I book my flight.

hey you! Well first of all. I wont be sitting with that ticket I said I had =( I'll be sitting with Kimberly and thats why I'm selling my lonesome ticket! =) but if you still want it then I'm game! let me know.. you can just bring cash to the show! I'd mail it but I'm scared it wouldnt get to you in time!

Katelyn.. you=AMAZING. just so you know! Im so scared that if we do ground shipping it wont get here in time! Maybe you can call a number and see if they can give you an estimated time of arrival. Talk to Kimbo about it, shes usually really good at this stuff!

Ah, Katelyn...Chelsey is correct, you are amazing! I will pitch in whatever you need so we can get this frog!! :clap:

I can just see Celine too, the frog sitting in her lap in the SUV and then carrying it onto the plane with her! :yes:

I hope you all are having a great week.............AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH, less than 10 days now!!! :whee: :whee:

Will there be enough time for the frog to be shipped now? That's scary! Surely...9 days...Would be enough?

:maniac: Can't wait!! Elisa, thanks for the visual of Celine holding the frog in her lap and carrying it onto the plane...what a nice thought! :throb:

January 8, 2009 at 03:43 AM

Hey guys! Okay, I tried calling the company tonight, but nobody answered so I'm going to try again tomorrow. I didn't exactly want to purchase it and then find out we wouldn't get it in time! So I'm going to give them a call tomorrow. I also checked their review system, and all of the comments that are shown say how fast they got it! I don't know where those people live...but I mean Virginia isn't too far away from Ohio?! haha I don't know, but I'll give a call tomorrow and see what they say! Hope you guys are all having a good night!!! 10 DAYYYSSSS
