Words of Praise:

"I really enjoyed the conference call - it was fabulous - lots of useful tips and ideas one can implement immediately.  I would love to get one of Margi's Color forecast for 2009 - so sign me up for that!  Thanks so much for putting this on."
Jennifer - Homes Redefined - Palo Alto, CA

"Thank you for another fabulous conference!  It was, once again, a wonderful source of information, inspiration and connection.  I loved all the learning as well as the chance to roll up sleeves and do a little decorating.  For me, the richest part was just getting a chance to meet my fellow mentor teammates.  I am so glad I joined a team and have such wonderful people to work with.  I will definitely be back next year.  It is my annual dose of energy to keep me going!"
Alisa - At Home Designs - VT

"It was a joy-AGAIN.  you attract some of the nicest, warmest and most gracious women I've ever met.  It was a privilege and a joy to speak in front of this audience.  Thank you for the opportunity."
Jane Pollak - Business Coach Extraordinaire - CT

"I spoke at the annual educational conference to an audience of designers and teachers.  It was great fun for me to be able to talk about the importance of excellence in design, in living with colors that uplift us, and the need for us to surround ourselves with beauty that brings greater harmony and happiness into our daily lives at home.  As my former boss, mentor and close friend Eleanor McMillen Brown once said, '"If you create beauty for yourself and others, you will live a long, healthy, happy life."  Mrs. Brown lived to be 100, five days shy of here 101st birthday.  The beauty we surround ourselves with greatly influences our soul.  I couldn't have had a more meaningful experience."
Alexandra Stoddard - Designer and Author - NY/CT

"I want to take this opportunity to thank your entire staff for all the hard work that you put in to making this a top notch experience in education.  I am so proud to be a member!  This keeps us linked to information and camaraderie.  it is great to have the support of people who want to see others succeed."
