Friday Favorites: Maker Carola van Dyke
Thank you all for your kind words on my New Day Northwest appearance!

I am inspired by so many things, I decided that every Friday, I will highlight a favorite person, thing, or idea. Maybe you will be inspired too! See all past Friday Favorites here.

My Appearance on New Day Northwest
That wasn’t at all as as scary as I thought it would be. (Well, first I didn’t think it would be scary, then I did, and then I didn’t, and then I did, and then it was time to film.) The producers, Margaret Larson, and everyone on the set of New Day Northwest made it an easy morning when I was there taping my segment yesterday.
Next stops:
University Place Library in Tacoma- Thursday evening, April 3, from 7-8:00pm.
Elliot Bay Book Company– Saturday, April 5 from 2-3:00pm
Third Place Books (Lake Forest Park)- Thursday, April 10, from 6-7:00.
