Well, I'm back from Fiskars Headquarters. I've received calls and emails from several Fiskateers and the funny thing is that I keep getting the same little question... "Well, how was it?"

Wowsiers! I had an absolute blast! Like any serious scrapbooker, I had my camera in hand and it feels that I didn't put it down for one second. I wanted to capture as many memories as I could to scrap later.

The people at Fiskars HQ are absolutely amazing! Su, Chad and the entire Team were very hospitable. During this short visit to Madison, our schedule was packed full. We met and chatted with Fiskaneers, saw some CHA sneak peeks, served up a Fiscany Bistro to the staff, and even had a little time to do a little quilting and scrapbooking of course. Matter of fact, at the hotel that we stayed at, there was a private crop going on and the new Lead Fiskateers did what we do best...we made a surprise visit and RAKed some cool Fiskars scissors.

So, the new Lead Fiskateers (pictured above: Rebecca, Cheryl, with Su from Fiskars TV, Kelly Jo, Angela and me) did a lot of brainstorming for the upcoming term that officially starts on July 1st. If this past weekend is any clue to what will be happening over the next two years in the Fiskateer community, may I suggest that you lock your seat belts low and tight around your waist...it's going to be a wild ride!
