I'm going! Psyched! I'm thinking the grass will def be that green by then. AND... it's run by the New England Culinary Institute, so the food will be crazy good.
soap & food! woo hoo!
Too bad it's on the opposite side of the country (and no vacation time / money available). I hope you have fun Heather, and make sure to blog about it!
I promise I will!!! :) Maybe Anne-Marie will come in her Bramble Berry Tour Bus!
Wow, Heather...lucky you!! I look forward to reading about your adventure!
I am jealous. Period.
I LOVE Vermont, I love soapmaking, & I would have LOVED to meet some very special people.
Do you think I could ask my son to put his wedding on hold until the fall? :)
I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the conference. The school where I work has spring break the week prior to the conference. :( And it is so close to me this time!!! Sniff, sniff....
I'm jealous as well! Very! Any chance of all of them packing up and moving to Australia?
I wicked want to go! (This is Boston-speak for "I really want to go!") I've got schedule conflicts, unfortunately. Sounds like a great time.
Wow, that would be soooo awesome! I can't imagine being in a room with so many soapmakers all at once. Too bad I can't do anymore traveling...not that I would be able to drop everything and go anyway = )
