Flat Tristen


While taking our lunch break, at my full time job....a sweet lady approached myself and partner. She asked if we would be willing to pose with "FLAT TRISTIN". Well, I was clueless, looked at my partner with one eyebrow raised! Mandy says yeah, c'mon Laurie, I heard of this before. So here we are, posing with FLAT TRISTIN and her Great Aunt! How sweet!

Update, here is how Flat Tristin made it to Florida!

Tristin has a class project called Flat Stanley. Tristin had to make a flat character and send it to a relative or friend that lived in another place. Tristin traced herself and called it Flat Tristin and wanted to send it to her GREAT AUNT LINDA in Flordia. So off to Flordia Flat Tristin went and once she got there Linda took her around and showed her the town, took lots of pictures and met lots of GREAT people. Linda had come across two women firefighterss while her and Flat Tristin were out and asked them if they would pose with her. She had told the ladies how much Tristin loves her Daddy being a firefighter and how proud of him she was. One of the Lady Firefighters is also a clothing designer and asked to see pictures of the real Tristin. Below is a link to her website that has supper cute clothing and also a blog about Tristin's adventure!

Well a week or so later, I got this very sweet email and some pictures of the real Tristin! Here is a copy/paste of her email....

Thank you so much for your help with Flat Tristin! It helped me beleive that there are still good people in the world! Tristin was so very excited that two firefighters held her Flat Tristin!! Keep up your much needed work. Thanks again.

Sincerley,

Linda
