Yes, Buffalo is near one of the Seven Natural Wonders of North America - Niagara Falls.  People come from all over to see such a beautiful sight, we did!  But what we found more delightful, were the beautiful welcoming people we had the pleasure visiting with at the Creating Keepsake Convention.  Our classes were full of energy!  So next year, we may squeeze in a trip to the falls, but we will really be there to see our friends.

Karen Wheaton, Linda Griffin (see you Lancaster Linda!!) and Diane Pratt

The most fantastic group of peeps!

PS:  Here is one of the photos we were able to capture of the falls!

 As many of you know, we travel around like a circus!  We come from all over the United States to meet and display our product at different conventions.  Some of us come from warm sunny Florida, others from cool crisp New England, even more from the dry deserts of Oklahoma.  So, when we arrived in Novi, Michigan and had to scrap frost off of our car windshield, we felt slightly unprepared!  But no worries, we may not of had our ice scrappers and winter boots with us but we had plenty of scrapbooking supplies.  Here are a couple of our loyal Farmhouse shoppers, finding their way around The Button Farm booth.

Here is Nancy Chambers snatching up our Country Kitchen line.

Angie has her hands on our brand new mini albums!

Thank you Novi, for the frost bite and your loyal support.  We will see you next year.

 What a fantastic time we had in Manchester NH.  If you happened to miss that Creating Keepsake Convention, we could meet up at the next one in Orlando, FL!  We will be at Scrapbook EXPO's convention, May 3rd and 4th at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee.  We will be represented in The Button Farm/Scrap-Mart booth.  Stop by and say hi before you head to the big park!  

After Orlando, if we EVER return to work!  We will be on Novi, Michigan at the Great Lakes Mega Meet May 9th - 11th. 

Creating Keepsake Convention in Buffalo NY follows soon after on May 17th & 18th.

We surely hope to see you there!

 We have been hesitant on writing this post about our journey to Mesa.  Although the people were wonderful and the classes were filled with patient, talent folks, writing about Arizona brings back mouthwatering memories.  Many of us caught a bout of food poisoning but you Arizonians welcomed us and were patient with the changes we needed to make in our classes.  So thank you, thank you, thank you.  Here are a few of you fine ladies that caught our classes on the first day!

Victoria Urenda and her daughter Cordy Roybal

Martin and her mom Kristie Haines

Thanks for joining our classes and making us laugh with your craziness!

 California is not the only place breeding celebrities, some seriously famous people come from St. Louis!  Tina Turner, Ulysses S. Grant, Red Foxx, Maya Angelou, and my favorites, NELLY and Eminem!!!  We thought we would give the spotlight to some of our new friends.  When you make it big ladies, remember we shared your talent first!

Marcia Sargent, Sally Bacon and Angela Young

Sally, are you related to Kevin?

Donna Welch and Mary Prewitt

Jacquelyn Mitchell and Maggie Daugherty

What a great time we had with all these future famous people.  We hope to see you again next year!

 Returning home from a convention is always wonderful until, the day after you arrive, there is yet another snowstorm that cancels school.  California was so bright, sunny and wonderful.  (Why did we leave?)  The people were ah-mazing and supportive. Our students in the classes were loads of fun.  Except for those few trouble makers.....you know who you are!!!  See if you can spot them in the photos below!

We can not wait to see you again next year Pleasanton.  Your a great group of gals.
