This year Fiskars is 360 years old! This picture shows lots of birthday cards we've already received from Fiskars fans around the world. I am looking for more ideas on how we can celebrate. So far, we've had ideas like 360 crops around the world, planting 360 orange flowers, sewing 360 pillows for the American Heart Association, and, of course, having a big party right here at our North American headquarters and inviting all Fiskars fans to come join us to celebrate creativity. I am going to send a special Fiskars scrapbooking bag of goodies (and you know how good my prizes are) to 3 randomly drawn posters.
And speaking of prizes, the winners from my last prize drawing are Connie Melancon, Mardi, Katie W., Cassandra and Debra Scott. Please email suzanne@fiskars.com and put "We are Family Winner" in the subject line.
If you want to learn more about our company's heritage and virtually visit the Fiskars Village in Helsinki, Finland please visit www.fiskarscinemaseries.com. It's a place of amazing creativity that makes me proud to work for Fiskars! Now start listing those celebration ideas!
Happy Birthday Fiskars. Love the orange and green! Go Fiskateers. Love seeing these in person. I've heard about them. What fun! Happy Birthday to all.

i think that fiskars should plant 360 green and orange flowers in front of the HQ - Maybe shape then into 360 :) And then fiskateers CAN ALSO plant Green and Orange flowers for support!

Happy 360th Birthday Fiskars!
I think a special punch to celebrate Fiskars B-day. Maybe a B-day candle. You could uses it to punch 1-360 candles if you wanted to. The punch would only be sold through 2009 then it would be retired.

Congratulations, Fiskars! I knew your company long before you went "scrapbooking" on us. My mom used Fiskars while she was knitting and crocheting.. I grew up with you in my life!

I think we should send a birthday album around the world (ie 360 degrees) for fiskateers to sign birthday wishes to Fiskars.
Or 360 worldwide crops!
