I am so excited, I am going to meet Martha Stewart!

It all began when my husband David signed me up for the Dreamers into Doersgroup on the Martha Stewart website.

I have always been a fan of Martha Stewart and love the things she does.

I have found inspiration in her magazines and on her television show,

David thought my journey with my quilt business would be of interest to others on the

Dreamers into Doers group so he took the liberty to join for me.

Then I really got interested and started to enjoy reading about all the others in the group.

There are 3,807 of them.

One special group now is Dreamers Getting Together.

It is coordinated by three very talented and dedicated women.

Jolene Mack of ‘Quite the Stir’,

Rachel Gaffney of ‘Rachel Gaffney’s Blogspot’ and

Terry Grahl of ‘Enchanted Makeovers’.

They have planned a most fabulous trip for 50 of us.

We will travel to Manhattan on January 19, 2010 for a cooking class at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia offices.

Following this we have what is called the Dreamers into Doers Shelter Event.

Women from around the U.S. who are part of the

Dreamers Into Doers group at Martha Stewart.com

will make a difference at a New York women's shelter for

domestic violence called Safe Horizon.

We will all share our God given talents at this event.

Some will be cooking or baking; others will be handcrafting personal gifts; and still others will share stories and songs.

We will all come together as a group not as individuals to make a difference in the lives of these women and children.

You can help bring hope to the women and children at the shelter by donating items.

Please visit the Enchanted Makeovers site to donate.

The details are all there – small or large, you donation will bring hope and joy to another person.

On January 20 we will all visit the Martha Stewart Show  and have a tour.

That evening we will attend a dinner arranged by the studio with Mike Michalowicz as the guest speaker.

Now you know why I am so excited!!!

Please visit all the websites to read about all the wonderful people involved in this adventure and

PLEASE DONATE FOR THE SHELTER EVENT!
