Feeding Our Communities

The fiskateer food drive is still in progress. Several crops and stores are collecting food and several of us will be at drop off areas on June 13th. If you have collected food for the drive or even the postal drive leave a comment here and after 50 comments I will choose a random winner and continue on until June 13th when a winner will win a large rak.
Help your communities fill their food banks. Let us know that fiskateers care.

Canvas Book

This evening I am teaching a class that I scraplifted from Cheryl on an episode of Fiskars TV. I love the plummage stamp, the glimmer mists and the real peacock feathers. I used to would not have tried something like this until the clear stamps and the stamp press from Fiskars. The stamp press is a must for a project like this.
I love to scrapbook, but sometimes it is fun to do something out of the box like this. Thanks to Cheryl and Fiskars TV.

Sweet Meet and Greet in Greenville

Road Trip!!!!! We jumped in the cars and headed 6 hours to Greenville, SC to attend the Sweet Meet and Greet at the Brains On Fire building. We were greted by all of the Fiskateers leads- Rebecca, Angela, Wendy Jo, Kelly Jo and Cheryl. Also in Attendance was Suzzane from Fiskars, Stephanie (legend) and Carrie from Brians on Fire. There were also many fiskateers that I had not had the pleasure of meeting in person before.
We decorated cupcakes (not going to be my second job), beaded scissor charms and cupcake charms.
However, the best thing about the evening was just talking to people. They gave door prizes and goodie bags for everyone. Fiskars always knows how to throw a party.
We truly enjoyed our short time in Greenville. We ate at "Smoke on the Water"-outside in a summer like breeze. We had fried green tomatoes (yum), pulled pork, and okra. Greenville was a beautiful city.

I made my bag to fill with food

Here is the bag I just altered to fill with food. If you make a bag and leave a reply on my message on the message board, you might win a great Fiskars RAK. Every fiskateer is being challenged to collect food for their area food banks.

What is a little Food Among Friends

One of the challenges in this economy is that charities are also suffering. The Charity Fiskamittee has decided that we can make a difference within our own communities by collecting food. As an added bonus, you make alter and decorate your bags to collect food in. I bet if we even clean our food cupboards out we could donate many items that would be greatly apppreciated by the people at the foodbanks. Several of us are setting up times at various food bank and we hope that fiskateers all over the country will help make a difference. A few nonperishable food items from Fiskateers will make a large difference. I have designated that on NSD at my shop we are collecting food and the person who brings the most will win a $40. gift certificate.
I am challenging everyone to help. Check out my challenge on fiskateers to win a rak at the end of the month by decorating a bag.
This a challenge that we can all spend a little and make a large impact.
