Yep. That's right. Your eyes are not deceiving you. I got to meet Martha.

What can I say? She is very striking in person. Tall. When she speaks, everyone listens.

What an exciting day that was. I was presenting some scrapbooking photo tips to her and her team... and I was almost sick over it. But it was great.

There are going to be more great things to come. It's so exciting I can hardly stand it!

    Holy cow! Sick would not even come close to describing how I would feel if I had to present something to Martha Stewart! I would be near dead with nerves!

    Now you're famous!

    I know you're presenting stuff for Kodak, but when I think of the wonderfully cool and distinct style of ljc meeting the style of Martha, it's almost a style overload!

    Was Martha excited to meet you? She's very lucky to have the honour of learning from the best.

    I've heard that she can be a little... um... quirky in person. You've got to give us some dirt - did she have ragged cuticles? Did she chew with her mouth open? Something? Anything?

    Seriously, what was Martha thinking with the scarf? It's like 90+ today in NY. I've worked in the Kodak buildings, they are hot even when the air is on.

    Gratz on meeting Martha but she doesn't look too good in your pic.

    I've read your blog for a couple of years now, but never commented before.
