This is the Spot for Something Hot!

Seems like everybody has a blog these days, so here goes………..

Food for thought:
Lots of people may love their job, but how many are lucky enough to have a job that loves them back!

I spent the past weekend in San Antonio, Texas with fifty, nifty “Fiskateers”. For those of you who don’t know what a Fiskateer is, they are Fiskars’ army of scissor wielding demonstrators and instructors who will be teaching the merits of Fiskars products in local craft and scrapbooking stores around the US, England, Australia, New Zealand and places that even I can’t spell. No, I’m not a Fiskateer, but I was invited to offer sage advice about demonstrating. I certainly fit right in with the “50″ part, but I’m not yet sure about the “nifty”. It was a fun and fabulous weekend and the “Fiskateers” will definitely be a crafting force to be reckoned with.

Remember the Alamo?

I’m not sure it will ever be the same…… in case you’re wondering, the Fiskateers are the ones in the orange hats. Each hat had the Fiskateers # on it; mine had PBS (for Scrapbook Memories) - for which I was most grateful. I don’t think I could have walked around San Antonio wearing an orange hat with SM on the front of it. I must admit though, it would have been a very unique “scrapbook moment”.
