  7. I love how Martha Stewart has made her ideas in my reach! For a long time I thought I couldn't do the amazing things she did, but now with her craft kits and tools and her down to earth show I realize that wow... I can make very pretty things be in crafts or in baking or in dressing a table! I help a friend plan her wedding and spent hours on Martha's wedding site, just looking at ideas that then spur me in a direction that worked for Lisa's vision of her wedding! Thanks Martha!

  9. What a great giveawy! I worked in a bridal shop in the late 80's and was introduced to Martha Stewart then. I am always so inspired by her crafts, Her show is great, but I usually just adore the crafts.

  10. Martha Stewart has helped me realize that I CAN be creative, that by a little extra effort, by paying attention to those little details, putting in a little extra love & TLC into what I'm doing, I can make a generic dinner, or holiday feel like a truly special occasion. That I CAN create these projects that I was in awe of, that I can do these things on a budget and still have fabulous parties and events, or just fun time crafting with my children. I learned how to create fabulous meals from Martha, how to create fabulous parties from Martha, and how to be an empowered woman by keeping my home fabulous through just a bit of extra attention. I've used the things she has taught to throw fabulous events for myself and others and she has helped me realize my love and passion for creating wonderful memories for others through fantastic events.

Martha is so inspirational, if I could do what she does I'd never work another day again!

  51. Crafting used to be something women did in their spare time and often under wraps for fear of being ridiculed, than came Martha and showed us that you an be crafty and chic! She shows us that you can turn your craft into an art and even better, a business! She encourages women to start their own businesses and even started a networking group called Martha's Dreamers into Doers which has been an invaluable tool for my own personal business growth! She didn't inspire my love of DYI crafts but definitely inspired me to pursue it professionally and elegantly! Her tools are a must and they all match which is AMAZING!!

Her main contribution to my life Her cupcake book, its dog earred and the pages stick together and is the foundation of my home based business. THANK YOU MS!! I've also been called Martha by friends, i took it as a compliment!

  70. I always thought my inspiration from Martha came at the exact time I needed it, planning my wedding. But now as a homeowner who likes to decorate and as a Mommy who loves to cook and create with the kids, her fresh ideas still inspire me now 10 years later and I'm so thankful!

    ReplyDelete

  83. Martha started inspiring me when I was 13. The first time I watched her show I knew I wanted to be here everything about her screamed the perfect domestic diva, rich, smart, crafty. It was everything I wanted and more. I even occasionally use her catch phrase "it's a good thing".Till this day I am on her website looking for recipes and collecting event and craft ideas basically on a daily bases. I am also a friend of yours on facebook. :) Thanks for a chance to win these items.

  86. As of now i only have her glitter in pinks and golds. I would love to have a rainbow of sparkles! :) Martha inspires me in a leadership sense. I think she has made an incredibly amazing brand and has managed to surround herself with THE most talented people. It bums me out that they don't get the credit they always deserve but I think it's the Martha stamp of approval that keeps all her employees pushing to impress her and wow her with their creativity.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Martha Stewart is an inspiration to all who loves to do arts & crafts. Although, my creation becomes, 'arts & craps' since most of them don't turn out like hers, but oh well that's why she's Martha & I'm just plain Wilma. However, I love her ideas & I still continue to try my best to be inspired.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Martha Stewart has inspired me to become a better craft "maker". I just admire her SO much! I collect her magazine and have all of the "old" KIDS issues... lots of great ideas for kids parties!Everything is just beutiful! And now everything is available to us!

  105. Martha Stewart has inspired me to be creative no matter what and no matter how little of a task you are doing. If it looks good its makes you feel good. My grandmother use to entertain and create all this neat stuff and I was never interested. She passed away and I never learned a lot of things I should have. Now she's not here to teach me so guess who's next in line. Yes, Martha Stewart and I love her for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  106. Martha Stewart taught me to aim for beauty, but rejoice in exuberant imperfection; to try not to fall, and to pick myself up with something resembling grace when I do; to raise strong, crafty daughters, (I have 4), and to teach creative kids in creative ways. Thanks, Martha! And thanks, Paper and Cake!

  118. Martha Stewart has influenced my life by giving me SO many good ideas on how to gift wrap, decorate, cook, and entertain a few friends.
