The Whole Experience - Lay Out Style
I managed to find some time to do some layouts to really express how I felt about my Saturday at the Magic Crystal Valley Museum; the day I met Xavier Roberts, the creator of the Cabbage Patch Kids.
He was a most gracious person! Each of us got private "audiences" with him and we never felt rushed. He listened to what we had to say, talked and joked with us and he made us feel very comfortable.
One of my thrills was to give Xavier the birthday card that I had made just for him. I had never made a greeting card before and I wanted it to be just perfect! He opened it and read it and made very appreciative comments about it to me. He even noticed that I had his correct birthday on the front! As if I didn't know when his birthday was!!!
This hug was incredible! I don't remember exactly what I said to him that made him hug me but boy, am I glad that he did! I will never, ever forget this!!
This was the very first time that Xavier had visited Pat & Joe's Magic Crystal Valley Museum. They got everything ready for Xavier's arrival and were only just a little nervous. Xavier was just taken back by their private collection! He arrived the day before the rest of the collectors and spent 2 solid hours inside looking at all the details! He absolutely loved it!!
Xavier spent 3 hours with the collectors signing Anniversary Kids, cutting birthday cake, inspecting vintage soft sculpture kids that collectors brought, taking tons of pictures and just being himself. Everywhere around us were cameras snapping away. I got to see lots of old friends and met some that I'd only talked to before on line. All in all it was a great day that I will long, long remember!!

A DREAM COME TRUE
This was the most wonderful weekend! An absolutely the best dream come true! As we all lined up outside the museum waiting our turn inside with HIM; our private audiences, I grew more and more nervous. I didn't know what on earth to expect. The O.A.A. (Original Appalachian Artworks) representative, Linda Loggins kept trying to calm me down but I started to get misty eyed. I did calm down and it was finally my and my friend, Marsha's turn to go in and I almost got tongue tied. I gave him the birthday card that I made him. Marsha and I put a photo of our best kids, Adam Luther and Ridley, inside too. He seemed to be touched by it and liked the card and the fact that we remembered the date of his birthday.
He was So warm, friendly and huggable!! We gave our cameras to Xavier's friend, Jeff inside and he took all of our pics for us. These 2 are just a very small example. If you want to see more pics of me with Xavier and pics of inside this fabulous museum, Magic Crystal Valley, just click here.
Xavier seemed to spend quite a bit of time with Marsha and me. He only signed Anniversary Kids so Adam Luther didn't get his little tush hand signed...oh well. BUT, he DID get his picture taken with his maker!
After all the signings were over we went over to the Collectors House, mixed and mingled with other collectors and waited for Xavier to come over from the museum and have the actual birthday party. The owners of the museum Pat & Joe Prosey built this Collectors House for the sole purpose of housing the collectors during the hot, muggy August days during the Summer Adventure get together that they host each year. They are the warmest, most gracious hosts ever!!!
We all sang Happy Birthday to the Cabbage Patch Kids (25 years) and to Xavier himself (? years) and then he cut the cake and served us with cake and more photo ops!! His birthday is October 31st!!
Oh! After driving 12 hours on Friday and Sunday, I'm exhausted, but I am still riding on a terrific high! I have to scrap this experience and I will remember this FOREVER!!!

COUNTDOWN TO XAVIER
So, let's see...it's now 4 days till I start on the road to Maryland and 5 days till the big Birthday Bash and meeting Xavier Roberts!!! My friend, Marsha and her little guy, Ridley are driving to my house on Thursday, spending the night, and then we head out bright and early on Friday morning for our nearly 11 hour drive to southern Maryland. Adam Luther and Ridley, along with several Anniversary Kids will be in the back seat...buckled in, of course, and Marsha and I will take turns driving ALL DAY! But, it will be worth it! I've heard great stories about how friendly Xavier he is. I just hope he's up for lots of photos. :0)
On top of it all I've made a special birthday card to give him from Marsha and Me, and the boys too. We plan on taking a picture of Adam Luther & Ridley and adhering it to the inside of the card. Maybe a little corney but I don't care. Xavier Roberts is somewhat of an artist himself so I'm hoping he'll appreciate the home made, scrapped card.
I'm just a little excited. And that's about all I can think about now. I'm subbing at preschool this week too, so it will help to take my mind off of things a little.
But first, my Monday Morning bowling league today. Bye for now.
