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!

Andi @ udandi said...

Awesome! I would have been beyond sick! I like your shirt, too :)

Krissy said...

Darren said...

Cool, and all those times you mentioned her in the past. Must have made your day.

allison said...

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!

Catie said...

How great! Also- you look great in that photo.

Shannon said...

I was still a little sleepy-eyed when I checked your blog this morning, I was like, "gracious, that is such a cute picture of lj... OH MY GOD!" and then I spilled my tea in my lap. Congratulations!

I hate to repeate everything everyone has already posted. But it's also key to know just how impressed all of us are... so, color me impressed.

Oh my god, I just about fell out of my chair when I saw this! So awesome, and given all you the amazing things you do, somewhat not surprising that you've met!

Yeah for you Jenny!!!

lisa-marie said...

OMG! That's awesome! How totally cool for you!

Sarah said...

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.

ljc said...

Anonymous - I didn't just meet her today in the ninety degree heat! It was several weeks ago and I was able to just now post it. It was chilly then and she looked great!

Jessica said...

How AWESOME! And major congrats to you for getting to teach HER!

mariko said...

Woohoo! Jenny & Martha! What a team! I think I would have thrown up from nerves!

Vanessa said...

OMG and WOW!! Did you bring her anything? I would love to see her as one of your computer drawings.

kat said...

How neat for you girlie. I bet it went wonderfully:).

How long before she invites you to do a spot on the show?

You must have been freaking out beforehand. I know I would have.

Merideth said...

So, you DID give her your blog addy, right?

I'm so not worthy to even set my eyes upon this site!!!

carolb said...

Congrats! I'll be waiting patiently for more information on this. Good work!

It took a minute for me to realize who that very familiar looking woman was with YOU! You look so cute, btw.
I would have been terrified of making a mistake. I am green with envy.

happylaney said...

Very nicely done. Congratulations. Is there more to this story? Did she hire you do to consulting? How exciting.

Lisanne said...

That is just amazing. I'd love to hear more! I would be *beyond* nervous if I had to present something to Martha Stewart. That's an awesome photo!!!

Aaron said...

Now that you put a check in that box..whats next? Dunh dun daaaaaahhhhh!

little things said...

How exciting for you! I would have been stuttering and stammering like an imbecile. I am looking forward to seeing what good things come out of the Kodak and Martha Stewart partnership.

jmswilfong said...

Diann Lippman said...

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

I work for KESG and am the TPM for the Martha cards. You could have knocked me over with a feather yesterday when I saw the photo here!

All hail LJC! After reading this blog for years and how much you've read her stuff and talked about her...what a kick to see you and Martha in the same photo!

Yay for LJC!

Yvett said...

I'm really happy for you. You do realize that it was just a matter of time, right? I mean, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I really wouldn't be surprised if you started working for her.
