Buffalo NY

 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!

Counting down the days!

Farmhouse Shoppers from Novi Michigan

 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.

Mesa, AZ

 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!

Pleasanton CA

 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.
