Sisterhood of Dreamers into Doers Shelter Event


Getting the word out about this great project started by Enchanted Makeovers and currently being championed by the fabulous women of Dreamers into Doers. A fitting name if there ever was, these women are absolutely DOERS, not content to sit and watch, but jumping in with both feet, and truly an inspiration.

The Sisterhood of Dreamers into Doers Shelter Event NYC
On January 19th, 2010, 40 women from around the U.S. who are part of the Dreamers Into Doers group at MarthaStewart.com will make a difference at a New York women's shelter for domestic violence called Safe Horizon. Each will share her God given talents at this event. For some, this will mean cooking or baking delectable treats; for others, this will mean handcrafting personal gifts; and still others will share stories and songs. We all need to stand apart.
You can help Enchanted Makeovers bring hope to the women and children at the shelter by donating items on our dream list below.
Please do not ship donations to Enchanted Makeovers location will have the New York shipping address in the upcoming week.
Have an idea or suggestion on donating an item but don't see it on the dream list please contact Terry.

Samples, samples and more samples

It's that time. Time to get all my sales samples and made. And let me tell you, it's not without it's share of serious anxiety producing stress. I knew it was something I was going to have to do, but until we got our 2 reps on board(oh yes, I have people now - whoohoo), did I realize the enormity of it. Three full sets of the line needed to be ordered for the shows starting in January(oh yes - I'll be in shows - BIG whoohoo). But that too has it's own problems, being told that one of them was out of stock till after the first of the year. Fall back plan, scour the internet for the next best thing. Jackpot when I found 10 yards from another source. At a higher price, but at least I would get samples made in time. Thankfully, the factory has already started cutting and the fabric is on it's way.
