Additional Page and Website!

Hello all!

Keep these wonderful pages coming in and keep telling your friends! Remember...I seriously have no limit for this scrapbook :) Anything anyone sends in...it will ALL fit :)

So a new page or pages I will add is Aaron's journey on Idol. Like a little timeline, with all the people he's met, the songs he sang, the mentors her worked with, the awesome comments he received from judges, etc :)

So if you find any pics or you create some sort of graphic for it...send it over to hecyeahaaronkelly@gmail.com and let me know in the email that its for the Idol Journey page! :)

Also, I run an Aaron Kelly website and I'd LOVE it if you all can check it out. I uipdate it almost..EVERY SINGLE DAY :) Tell your friends about it too! :D

PS- I REALLY gotta get the scans in of the pages I've done so far but because I was super sick AND have exams/final projects in school, I haven't hooked up my printer! I will seriously get around to that next weekend, since I have five days off school!

Update, Distribution Info, Deadline and Gifts!

So I have gotten several pages from fans and I am SO thrilled with them. So thank you for taking the time to send them in. I honestly appreciate it and I am SURE Aaron will LOVE them.

So here's so details on how it will get to Aaron:
He's coming to Hamilton on July 5th, 2010 which is the show I will be attending.

SO BECAUSE HE'S COMING ON JULY 5th, THE DEADLINE FOR THE LETTERS/PAGES/ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE IS JULY 1ST 2010! :) I'll need time to get rest of the pages together, such as the ones people send in later and the concluding page!

It's the closest venue to me (about a good 2 hours away!). I haven't heard ANYTHING about Meet&Greet tickets, but from Aaron's Twitter session at the If I Can Dream House, he said he will come out and sign autographs? So I'm hoping to catch him then.

I'm honestly willing to spend whatever amount it takes to be able to get as close as possible to him. I'm giving up the chance to go to my senior prom(the only prom I'll have!) so I can use the money towards trying to meet Aaron. Haha, that's how dedicated I am! I know a friend who's been invited to a private party for the Idol by David Cook because...well he's a nice guy and he gave her passes haha! But as far as I know, that's private and intended for family members and whoever the Idols themselves invite only :( So I don't think I can go to that one. So I will REALLY try my best with catching him before the show at this "meet and greet". In the past years, the Meet&Greet is basically the Idols going out to meet fans by the gates. So I'm going to assume it's the same this year?

The tickets will be on sale May 15th and I will purchase them then. Crossing my fingers that I get good seats!

If I fail to go to that show, I'll go to Buffalo later. If I fail there...let's just not get there. I'd REALLY like to meet Aaron :P Positive thinking everyone! :P

As for gifts! You guys do not have to pay ANY money or ANYTHING for this! I just need ideas! :) I am hoping to give Aaron a little tourkit, with a whole bunch of stuff that he likes and will entertain him on tour! :) If you have any suggestion, let me know! Here are some stuff I'll give:
- Disposable cameras (I think it'd be fun for him to take candid photos and then get them developed! And he love photography!:D)
- A notebook (He likes to write songs)and a pretty pen
-Guitar picks (he said he plays the guitar!)
-This book on photography that I saw (and it looks reaallly good) which I think he'll enjoy!
-Canadian souvenirs (I'm thinking a tshirt, keychain, license plate and maybe a stuffed animal of a moose or beaver?)
- A bird stuffed animal :) (parrot of course!)
-Rascal Flatts tshirt
- ...I know I had more bubt I'm forgetting it and I wrote it in my math notebook (oops :P) and it's 5AM so can you blame me?! :P

Feel free to email or comment your suggestions! I'm open to anything...as long as it fits my budget... lol :) Don't say anything EXTRAVAGANT, is all I'm saying haha ;)

Thank you!!! <3

New Stationary!

I just ordered new stationary yesterday, which will arrive at the store on FRIDAY. I am VERY excited! I will scan the stationaries in on Saturday and fans who would like to write letters, and want to make it look nice, they are free to choose from the stationaries I have ordered! You can also use one of these stationaries for your personal page if you want to!

Thanks to those contributing to this scrapbook, I wholeheartedly appreciate it!

Pages Ideas

Here are the pages I hope to have in this scrapbook:

1. Opening Letter- I will write a letter on behalf of all Aaron fans, stating how much we are supporting him and wish him all the best. I will post this letter prior to putting it in the scrapbook so fans can vote if they want to change it or whatever they think of it :)

2. Personal Pages- if fans want to, they can have a page dedicated to themselves and decorate it, write a letter whatever they want. They can put pictures if they wish to as well! They will just have to let me know if they prefer to have it printed in colour or black/white. This will obviously have to be scanned and emailed to me :) I would also prefer it if this was 8 by 11 for scrapbook page sizing...purposes haha :)

3. Aaronation/Kelly Kountry page- What I will do for this page is have a map of US (and possible add Canada since I am Canadian lol!:P), and put a little star sticker for all the towns and cities his fans are from that contribute to this scrapbook. I also would like to have a bunch of fans take pictures of the hometown support their town might be doing for Aaron (like signs and whatnot) and send them over to me and I will make a collage of that. Another thing I want to do is have fans stand by their hometown's sign and take a picture, to show the various places his fans are from, in images. Like I will be standing by the Toronto sign, and hold a sign underneath it that says "LOVES AARON KELLY" while my dad takes a picture haha! :P

4. Little Messages- fans who do not have much time to write full length letters or decorate pictures can show some love by writing short messages which I will assemble together and it will probably take a few pages. These messages will need to be a paragraph, max.

5. Letter page- Here I will put full length letters! It cannot be longer than one page (8 by 11!). Also, these pages are only TEXT. You can put a little picture of yourself if you wish to, and decorate it by putting a border/background but these are only LETTERS. If you want to do more, please refer to the Personal Pages!

6. Gallery- here, I will put any pictures fans draw for Aaron (this is something your kids and contribute to if they'd like to :D) and graphics they create for Aaron. The page size needs to be either 8 by 11 or of that size (portrait side). Those are the only two choices! I will only accept TWO for this category. Or it will mess up how I create the pages! He is also a huge photography fan, so feel free to take pictures and send some along! The maximum images I will accept from fans is FOUR pictures.They will need to be normal photo size, which I cannot remember so I will get back to you on that!:P

7. Poems and Songs- Aaron loves poems and songs, and writes some himself! So if you are a poet or a song writer, feel free to send in one for Aaron! The shortest they can be is half a page (8 by 11) and the longest they can be is a page. IF you feel your poem/song page is empty with just the song/poem on it, feel free to decorate or I will use the theme decoration I have come up with this for it (I will post that soon, hopefully tomorrow!).

8. Fanlist pages- I will have the official Aaron Kelly fanlists in this scrapbook. If you wish to be added to it, please head over to: http://myidol.americanidol.com/go/thread/view/86789/22347497/~_The_Kelly_Konnection_~*~_Aaron_Kellys_Fanlist_~ to be added! I will put both Kelly Konnection and Yodaarons! :)

9. Reasons Why We Love Aaron- Feel free to contribute to this! I will use the list from this: http://myidol.americanidol.com/go/thread/view/86789/22687921/101_Reasons_To_Love_Aaron. If you want to add something to this, post a comment or post in that board! :)

10. ABC's of Aaron- I will get this from: http://myidol.americanidol.com/go/thread/view/86789/22582573/Aaron_Kelly_A_-_Z_(Game). I think Aaron would get a kick out of reading some of these :)


PLEASE KNOW WHATEVER YOU SUBMIT, I NEED THE FOLLOWING INFO:
- your age (optional!), name, where you are from
- whether I should print it in black or white!

Tomorrow or Tuesday I will post the layout for each pages, so if you are still clueless, just wait til then to start your project! :)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to have them sent in early as possible! Not last minute if possible! I might run into printer problem or whatever, so the sooner I get them, I can avoid them altogether! :D

IF you have ANY ideas, PLEASE do email me at heckyeahaaronkelly@gmail.com!

Thank you!

xo,
Ko <3

Welcome! :)

Hello fellow Aaron Kelly fans aka Kelly Konnectors, Yodaaron's, etc.

First of all, welcome to the official blog for Aaron Kelly's scrapbook project! I'm super thrilled to be doing this project as he is my favourite American Idol contestant (and that's saying A LOT...I was a HUUUUGE fan of Anthony Fedorov and David Archuleta :P) so this should be really fun :)

The number one thing that is CRUCIAL to create this scrapbook (under such a short deadline!) is the support of Aaron fans! I need you guys to help me out!

I'll need people to dedicate pages, pictures and anything you feel that you would like to put in the scrapbook to show your support and love for Aaron!

I will update my progress on this scrapbook on this blog. I will post pictures and I am also open to ideas, so please do not hesitate to email at heckyeahaaronkelly@gmail.com. Send in your pages, questions, ideas, anything else related to Aaron to that email! I will reply within a day, if not sooner!

So far, I have some of the ideas for the pages written down and how the cover could look. I will create several covers today and post the pictures on this blog tonight or tomorrow and have the fans vote for their favourite cover! :)

Please look at the next blog for pages ideas and whatnot.

MY GOAL:
To have this scrapbook done and sent by APRIL 28th-30th AT THE LATEST. Please help me accomplish this goal! :)

Also, please know that I will NOT ask for any money from this. I will be paying this on my own and if anyone asks you for money for this project, IT IS NOT ME. Never will I do that. Everything you do for this, is paid for by me and all you need to do is express your love and support for Aaron by dedicating something to this page :)

If you have other relatives or kids that would like to do something for this, PLEASE direct them towards this page! The more pages we have, THE BETTER!

Thank you so much everyone!

Love you lots,
Ko <3>
