Fiskateer Demo Goal was Reached!!!

I am proud to be a Fiskateer and to have been a part of reaching this goal.
I thought I would share this because I think it is remarkable that this wonderful group called Fiskateers set out to reach a goal last year and we did!!!


I am one of the Fiskateers that have been Certified as a Fiskars Trainer and Demonstrator. I have trained others to be Fiskars Demonstrator's. I have been doing Demonstrations at my LSS and having a ball. Well Fiskars set a goal last year for all of us that were doing demos to reach. That goal was 1000 Demos in 2008. This was a group effort and I am happy to say that we succeeded in reaching the goal. YEAH!!!

I received a letter in the mail from Fiskars stating we had reached the goal of 1000 Demo's and Congratulation's!! They sent all of us a ribbon to add to our ID badges. Here is mine pictured below. I would like to Congratulate each of the Fiskateers that were in this group as well!!! We are on our way to reaching another goal for this year. I'm hoping we can do it. Fiskars has set the goal much higher this year but a challenge is always good. If we can reach this years goal we will be adding another ribbon to our badge.

Friendship Quilt Block Swap


I joined a Fiskateer Swap that was held by Fiskateer Jeannie #5377 titled Friendship Quilt Block swap. A number of Fiskateers each made two 12 x 12 quilt blocks to send to Jeannie. The condition other than the size was we had to use orange and green fabrics. These are the two that I made. They are bright aren't they?! But I thought they were a pretty combination of fabrics. We also were to write our name, Fiskateer # and where we lived on each block. I don't know if you can see the writing on mine but it is in the center square. The tags I made to go with each block may be hiding it. I decided to make a tag out of the fabrics I used in the quilt blocks to attach to each block. This was a fun swap to be a part of. Jeannie is going to put them together into two quilts one of which will be randomly chosen to go to one of us that were in the swap. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I get chosen. How fun would that be?! Whoever wins will have a wonderful treasure. I wanted to share this with all of you. It is one other thing I have been busy with.
I'll be back with some cards soon.

Everything is "GREEN"


Well we just had our second months Fiskateer Product swap. This time the color was Green. So like last months Pink swap everyone who participated bought products that were Green in color to swap with the group who signed up for the swap. We sign up on the 1st of the month and have 20 as the maximum # of people in the swap. You spend $20.00 and divide all that you buy with your $20 into 20 baggies and send to me along with return postage for me to send it back after I have sorted all the baggies. It is great fun!! You must be a Fiskateer to join this swap. I have information on my blog on how to become a Fiskateer if you are interested.
As you can see by the pictures it is quite the swap!! Tomorrow I will be posting for the March Swap. The color for March will be revealed then.

We're in the PINK!!!!!

I am Hostess for a monthly swap I hold through the Fiskateers message board. This year each month we are swapping items that are the color for the month. For our first month of January we swapped the color Pink. There are 20 people max in the swap and we each purchased $20.oo worth of Pink items. I wanted to show what the end results look like from this swap. This picture is all of the items out of there bags from each person.
This picture shows all 20 bags that each person received.
As you can see it is a fun exciting swap. You get all sorts of items to add to your stash of supplies. Many things are items that some of us can't get in our areas which makes it really nice to have so many different products.
This month we are swapping the color GREEN.
