Some clarifications...

This morning on the forum where I post about Capucine and try to recruit new host families for her  I was rather gutted and yes, let s use the word HURT to see this

  I m withdrawing my offer to Host.

I asked for clarification as to what is happening with Capucine after she finishes her travels.

Basically, every other Travelling Blythe I've hosted is auctioned for charity, donated to a Blythe Event or raffled so that one of the Hosts gets a chance to win her forever.

This isn't happened with Capucine (or at least wasn't explained that way to me at all) and she is a Blythe travelling the world then going back home to her original owner.

There is nothing wrong with this, but it's a not a format I'm comfortable with.

Happy travels to Capucine though! 

Because I would like to defuse any doubt about what could have been said between me and this person I have decided to play the card of transparency and copy and paste here the few messages exchaged between us. She saw my offer to host capucine and that is what we Pm after that. 

I am doing this so everybody can see that I never tried to get Capucine somewhere under false pretences of a chance of having her won or auctioned at the end of her travels...

Hi Dominique! I'm looking forward to being a Host for this pretty girl. What's happening to her after her travels? I only ask as every other travelling Blythe I've participated with has a Final Destination, as it were. For some, it's a Blythe Convention, for others one of the Hosts gets to chance to win her to keep at the end of the travels, for others they continually travel, and for others still, they are auctioned for a particular charity. When she comes to Melbourne, I'll make sure to take her out sight-seeing to lots of pretty, unique places in the state, as I travel a bit too, so I can take lots and lots of photos When do you think she might kick off her travels?

I do not belong to the wealthy type of blythe owners and I have had to save up for every one of my dolls and for me sending one of my girls around the world is a bit like sending her to place I will never have the chance to see.  To get her pictures taken in fabulous places, with new friends she will make in her travels...

I am not intending to take advantage of anyone and if some of you feel like it I am sorry, maybe I should have make sure to state fro the beginning that I was not going to part with Capucine at the end of her trip I intend  to send some presents from capucine and me to each hosting family to show how greatful I am for them to host her . As one of the host mother to be wrote, she is an exchange student!
