paper and cake: Countdown to Martha

Countdown to Martha

>> Tuesday, January 11, 2011

I've been to New York once. In January of '08. January. It was COLD! (mostly because I am, born and raised, a Southern California girl). It was a whirlwind trip to visit a friend, I was in the city for a total of 48 hours - exactly. I've been trying to figure out a way to get back there, maybe in the spring or early summer for another adventure, but it just isn't going to happen.

Mostly because I'm going back NEXT WEEK! Yes, January again. And it's going to be COLD. But I don't think I'll care, because I'm going to see Martha.

Martha!

Yes, Martha Stewart is hosting a "Dreamers into Doers" two day event filled with workshops, forums, discussions and will be topped off with a taping of her show. I am so looking forward to meeting the 78 women who will be there with me, experiencing this once in a lifetime opportunity, in pursuit of their dreams.

ps- My daughter thinks Martha and I should go out for a cupcake.
