Spring Fling..............

I had so much fun yesterday............i attended the first annual Fiskateer "Spring Fling" hosted by the very sweet Cheryl Waters........lead fiskateers. Wow - there was at least 50 people there and a great make-n-take for us to do. Of course the games and prizes were so fun and everyone left with a fiskars squeeze punch!!!! Fiskars is so generous and loves to give back in RAK!!!!!!!

Getting to see Cheryl was great. I actually met her through my husband. They work together - small world!!! We've been e-mailing for awhile and getting to know one another so it was nice to visit with her a bit. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Just another reason why being in the Fiskateer group is so wonderful! Also, got to see Stephanie from "Home & Heart" another fiskateer friend. If you haven't got ahold of her magazine yet go get it!!! It is filled with so many great ideas........it is one you will want to add to your paper crafting/scrapbooking magazine collections for sure!!!! I am so excited that i now have my very own "Stephanie Doodle" She made us all name tags.............she is so talented!!! Thank you so much Cheryl, Stephanie and all the other great Fiskateers that put on such a fun event. Looking forward to the next time we can get together!!!

Oh, one more thing.........just found out last night that Aloha Airlines is out of business............why am i blogging that little piece of info...............well, it just so happens that I have 4 seats on Aloha Airlines for our summer vacation to Maui. Already on the phone with the credit card company, plus i did buy insurance so hoping i will see all of our money back plus the points i used from my credit card. Don't worry............if you know me, you know i LOVE Hawaii.............we WILL be in Maui this summer!!!!

Baseball............

OK, i am not a fan of baseball. But put my son in the game and I LOVE IT!!!! It is so exciting at this level and when he is behind the plate catching - wow - it is so intense. Just check out this picture my brother-in-law got at last Saturday's game. Take note to the "you're outta there" sign the umpire is giving!!!

My hubby.........

I hope you don't mind me sharing some more about my hubby! I just think this is so cool!!!!!!!

Fiskateer...........

Some of you may know that i applied for a position with Fiskars to be one of the lead Fiskateers. Well I got a call today and was told that I would not be going to the next round. Even though i knew it was a long shot, i have to admit i am a little sad. It sounded so exciting and the perfect job!!!! They were very nice and appreciated all the effort it took to apply. Not only did i have to fill out an application, send a resume, get 3 letters of reference - i also had to make a video. That was a riot.....trying to be all serious and not laugh with my husband taping me and my kids trying to peek in (i told them they couldn't watch). It was fun! One thing they did tell me was that one of the factors in my case was that i am so new to the fiskateer community. That is something i knew going into this and totally understand. There are some very talented Fiskateers out there that have been on board for a long time. I wish those ladies lots of luck and can't wait to see who will be the next Lead Fiskateers.
