Was it a cute little printer? Nope. An awesome storage system? Nope. Some cool patterned paper? Nope. It was a friend!
Our very own Fiskateer #1943, Laura Casey! Through the luck of the draw, Laura and I ended up being roomates in San Antonio last November. We hit it off from the moment we met! We chatted and laughed the whole first day, but I knew she would be a friend forever the next morning. Why? Well, I decided at 6:45 am Saturday morning that we needed to decorate a certain piece of equipment that Fiskars had given all of us. Did she roll her eyes at me like I was nuts? Of course not! She jumped right on the crazy train with me! The result?
Yep, we turned our carts into horses (it’s a long story, trust me). There was more laughter and silliness as the weekend went on, but I knew I had made a friend forever. We’ve emailed and chatted on the phone since then, but there’s nothing quite like seeing a good friend in person! Besides, real hugs are better than cyber hugs anyday!

Laura #1943 says:
August 8th, 2008 at 12:01 amWonderful meeting up….and MEETING some new Fiskateers in Valley Forge! I so looked forward to seeing Wendy Jo and Rebecca MUCH MORE than shopping…REALLY !!!! Spending some time with friends you don’t get to see everyday is SO precious !!…but being thankful for the friends you DO see everyday is something I think a lot of us take for granted…so, tomorrow…why don’t you call up a friend and just say hello? Let them know you appreciate them !! Huggs to all…!!!

August 8th, 2008 at 2:10 amSo here it is after 2 in the morning and I look into what’s happenin’ in World Fiskateers and then I come up on the most fantastic horse-a-cropper. Do my eyes deceive me? No! This is just darling and such an awesome chance to giggle (to myself so I won’t wake up everyone else in the house!!!). I wish I had been a part of the weekend you all have talked about. I’m sure it was a time to never forget, especially with moments like this one. Thank you for sharing this
