Our little craft and Etsy shop started completely by accident, and within just a few weeks we were discovered by SOUTHERN LIVING MAGAZINE, and our whirlwind began ..... Our shop was only open a few weeks before I was contacted by a journalist with Southern Living Magazine that was looking for unique country magnets to go in their August 2011 issue. I, and 4 other magnet crafters, were asked to send in some samples. They put us all in the ad, but my Cheerwine Rooster was the photo they decided to feature with it. We definitely were not prepared for such a massive influx of orders and got 4 days behind, real quick. We were buying cases of Cheerwine from every local Walmart, Kmart, Target, and grocery store we could find.

Other Magazines, etc. featured in:
- CARY MAGAZINE (Fall 2017)
- COUNTRY SAMPLER MAGAZINE (12/2012)
- Local Newspaper.
In 2013, we were DISCOVERED BY 'COCA-COLACOMPANY.COM'

Since May 2011, our little buddies have been adopted in EVERY STATE IN AMERICA and also went INTERNATIONAL overseas into 11 different countries/continents: AFGHANISTAN, MALAYSIA, JAPAN, GREECE, AUSTRALIA, URUGUAY, SPAIN, AFRICA, PERU, the UK, and CANADA. We are so amazed at how one little magnet and just a fun craft has dominated our life, but we love what we do.

So, here I am - in Buddy Heaven, and I've 'finally' found my niche. This craft fits me to a 'T'. We currently have over 10,000 cans already cut and coiled and stored into 'Buddy Bins' by brand, and more waiting to be cut. We've turned our entire dining room into our 'Buddy Shop' where we do nothing but make buddies and process orders. --- I also have my own 'Buddy Terminology' that I will add later...
