it’s been one heck of a week here at d*s! we launched the diy contest finalists, the d*s scholarship, the d*s job board and now i’m thrilled to announce the date of the biz ladies meetup in los angeles: tuesday, april 15th! thanks to susie at dwr, we’ll be holding the last west coast meetup of this season at dwr beverly boulevard. i’ll have an update on the speakers next week but i just wanted to do a little “save the date!” today for anyone who’d like to come. i’ve never been to LA so i’m thrilled to make the trip out. hope to see you all there (if you’d like to rsvp just shoot me a line here). i’m off to make some more tea and kick the last dregs of this cold/flu things so i’ll see you all monday. until then, here’s a summary of this week’s highlights.
