This is Kari:
This is Kari’s Blog: (its kind of small, you may have not heard about it….)
I met Kari on Twitter. See there is this awesome group of crafty ladies that tweet into the wee morning hours. She featured my Sewing Room Scraps Bedding and I tweeted her a BIG FAT thank you. She later became my Kidney Sister when she featured a tutorial on how to paint my tree wall mural. By kidney sister I mean my blog BLEW UP and I told her that I owed her one and if she ever needed a kidney I would share. She said the same thing and now we are Kidney Sisters Forever! (Hopefully neither one of us will ever need a kidney.)
Kari has created this HUGE blog with 20,000+ subscribers and daily she puts projects from small blogs like you and I out there for everyone to see. Her influence is one of the biggest in DIY/Crafty Blogs and she willing to feature anyone with a project that she likes. Regardless of if you have 3 followers or 10,000.
I was lucky enough to meet Miss Kari in person last time I was in Salt Lake. She is truly genuine. She has the best personality and is SO funny. I mean she is like a blogging CELEBRITY and she is also one of the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. She is someone that you can tell anything to and she will be honest with how she feels. I respect that SO much. She is always willing to help even with the smallest thing….like how to use live writer, I mean her time is $$ and she totally helps me in all my non-techie glory. She has the best aura, you cant help but just love her! I completely adore her and I am so excited to be her BBFF for life! You know, cause she will never be able to get rid of me!!
If you don’t already read Ucreate hourly, you totally should. She has stuff for EVERYBODY.
I am sharing Kari with you in hopes that everyone can see that we are all the same it doesn’t matter if we have big fat blogs or not. If you see someone’s blog that you admire even if they are a blog-lebrity you should tell them how you feel because you never know what type of a friendship will grow.
Love you Kari!!
How flippin’ sweet are you to say all of those nice things!?!?!
I’m thrilled we finally got to meet in real life!!
Thanks so much for sharing your rockin’ projects with my readers…you’re amazing and just an awesome friend!
Kari is wonderful and I do love her blog. I remember when I sent her my bat pillow tutorial, I was so nervous about it- who was I to be so forward. But she was awesome and so nice and actually posted it the next day- I’m still in shock! She does so much for the blogging community- she is worthy of your BBFF!

p.s. could you pass on the Live Writer tips? I tried using it once, but the pics wouldn’t show up on my popular post widget so now I’m scared.
Thanks Mandi! Believe it or not, I had never visited UCreate before :0) You totally just turned me on to a great new blog!
I get jealous of how awesome other people’s blogs are, and how creative the authors are. 🙁 It was one of my secret New Years resolutions not to be jealous but instead inspired. Slowly but surely…
UCreate is a terrific blog! I *think* I’m a follower but am not sure. It’s awesome to hear how cool Kari really is, she sounds very genuine, so it’s always nice to know that for sure.
Thanks again for this super cute post. It gave me a nice feeling.
I love Kari! What a great post!
PS: I love your blog!
Followed you over here from Ucreate! Your blog is awesome and I am now your newest follower! 🙂
