The Fiskateers message board is down!!! :( Guess now I will have to craft to get my Fisk-a-fix!!! BUT...they have plans to reveal the new Fiskateers board next week...when the new leads (and 1 returning) take over...July 1st cannot come quick enough!!! :) And...they whole shebang will take the week because they are integrating the previous website/board/gallery into the new one, which, although I have a degree in New Media Arts goes so far beyond my "education" into the realm of the technical that I so desire to know (and hopefully one day will, if I can ever take classes on campus!) Kudos to you Fiskatechs! Can't wait to see what you have created for us Fiskafreaks and Fiskanerds! :D
Wanna know a secret? I applied for a lead Fiskateer position. I haven't said anything about it before (when the process was happening) because I didn't want to get my hopes up...but the day I got an email from Carrie from Brains on Fire telling me that I had made it to the final few and they wanted a phone interview...I cannot tell you how elated I was! I am still pretty impressed with myself about it, especially since I have been "officially" scrapbooking for less than a year...but immersed in the whole craft world all my life! Alas, I did not make the official final cut...but the 5 who did are impressive ladies! (and since the term is 2 years, I am hopefully for 2010! :))
And speaking of Brains on Fire...if you have never visited their website/blog, do so now! It's fun....it's inspirational! If I lived in SC, I would be banging on their door for a job...correction, for a new way of life!
And on that thought...I am going to make a bagel for the 9 year old...
BBL!
About Me
- Pepper
- Up until a few months ago, I had been a homeschooler for 5 years....now, my kiddies are in the system, and I am too! I work in the non-profit, cultural/community education outreach field....and LOOOOOOVE IT! I also am a student intern at the public library...where I get to do more stuff I love...graphic design and community activity promotions. The only other job I would want to have would to be a lead Fiskateer (but we will see about that in a few years ;)) I hold degrees in Design & Dressmaking, and New Media Arts (web & graphic design). I am currently back in school to get my Bachelors of English, then my Masters in Publishing. I <3 books! I write...mostly non-fiction educational articles, but I have a few children's stories in the works as well!

OMG making it that far is amazing, I know a couple who did not even go that far but applied! YA!
OMG send me some remnants!! LOL what a great remnant Postcards rock!
We're back up... =). Carlee- you may not have made the final cut but you are definitely an important asset to the Fiskateers. If would love to help you set up set up your own Fiskateer event in your area- send me an email if you think that sounds fun.
I'm hopeful for you for 2010 too! You have my vote, cheer, and support! ((HUGS))
Hi, I'm Meghan and I'm a lead Fiskateer finalist too! So nice to meet another person that made it to the second round :)
