It all started earlier this year when another child asked to attend the Garfield convention out in Hershey PA (you can see us all being inundated by herds of Garfields). Garfield the Cat is the character of choice for her, but who would ever think someone would dream up a conference about him?

Certainly not me, but my oh my, I learned quick! So I rapidly searched the Internet to look for fellow Strawberry Shortcake lovers...and discovered the 2004 Strawberry Shortcake Convention.

Luckily, it was less than 1000 miles from my home, and so history was made - 2 weeks after attending the Garfield convention, my whole family traveled to Ohio to meet Strawberry Shortcake (and the artist, and the designers, and the creative marketers, and the vendors, and the fans, and ....)

Along with raising children, my hobbies are building websites. As, most likely, you can probably tell from this site. :-) Questions or comments can be sent to
