Hi all!
I wanted to quickly share with all of you where I have been since I haven't posted in a about a week. This week was a busy one at work, and then I celebrated my birthday yesterday ( Dec 3rd) with my hubby, mom and dad. We had our local craft fair going on this weekend, so I went to that, and saw all of the wonderful creative people and what they have made. There was everything from ornaments, to jellies and jams, to home decor, to leather works. One of these days, I would like to have a booth at least once, and see how would do. I know it is very time consuming to even prepare for a craft fair, but I would like to give it a shot at least once. Today (Sun) I am busy in craft room creating some cards, and little goodies for some co-workers. Our Secret Santa week is this week at work, so I am preparing my gifts for that as well. I have posted a new video on my YouTube Channel if you all want to check that out, and I am trying to post a new one. I have been trying since Friday, if you can believe that, but it is 18 min. long, and it is taking a long time to upload, and it stalls, so I am working on trying to get that posted as well. It is a big haul video, and some goodies I got from my husband for my birthday that he bought from Simon Says Stamp!!
Anyhoo, that is what has been going on with me the last week. Like I said I have been crafty today, so I will share with you what I've made soon!! Thank you all for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day where ever you are in the world!!! :)

Instead of Where's Waldo - its Where's Kari?
******This giveaway is closed******
Hi all! I wanted to pop in and give an update to my blog readers as to what has been going on with me, and why the sparse blog posts. So - I am going to ramble on about what has been going on, but something special in store for my BlogAnniversary!! if you keep reading!!
I am still here, and I haven't fallen off of the face of the earth! The reason why I have been MIA a lot, is simply put LIFE has taken over, and there hasn't been a lot of time to do the things that I WANT to do like my paper crafting! The last few months work has been crazy busy and that is majority of why I haven't posted anything. When I want to post, I am too tired, just because of trying to fit the everyday things in. Also, my husband and I had all new windows replaced in our home. So - with that we had to prepare the house by moving and rearranging things, furniture, etc. that had anything near a window. We now have 10 new windows, and I am happy about it. The ones we had were the old wood windows, and not very energy efficent. Also - I went on a weekend trip to Branson, which I might have mentioned in another post which was a lot of fun!! Learned new things, and tried new products! My mom stayed with us the same week of our windows being put in, so we had to work around that too, because we have a small house, and don't have an extra bedroom, so my poor mom had to sleep in the living room on the couch. She was a trooper though!
In the midst of all this - I was planning a birthday gathering for my mom for her 60th birthday!! My dad was helping me plan, because my parents and I live an hour apart which isn't bad, but not convenient when your planning an event. Also, he had to go to Colorado for an extra money job that was last minute, and left the "planning" to me. I have to say thought the party was a hit, and I got to see my brother, sis in law, and nephews after a year!!
I haven't had the chances to craft as I would like, which makes me sad - but hopefully things can slow down a bit and I can make some cards!! I really have to find and make the time - because I am in a Christmas Card swap, and I have a couple of people that want me to make them some Christmas cards as well!! :)
In other happier news:::: I am 20 days out of having my BLOGanniversary!! I can't believe it!! I will be celebrating my ONE year anniversary for my blog - and I want to celebrate in true blog fashion by doing a giveaway! I don't have the means to do BLOG CANDY, however I do want to giveaway something crafty to whomever reads my blog, SO - I will giveaway a $30 gift certificate/card to Simon Says Stamp!!
If anyone is not familiar with SSS - then first I would say, where have you been? Then, I would say they are one of the Largest Online Stores for paper crafters. Let me say that they are not paying me to "endorse" them or anything. I just love that store, and they have pretty much everything you can imagine for your crafting wish list! So - with that said - the rules are - IF you are a follower, or read my blog at all- leave a comment on the blog post by Friday - November 4th, and I will use random.org to choose a winner!! Tell your friends, tell your neighbors who are crafters!!
OK- that is my update - so be sure to leave a comment. You can tell me if you are just a reader, or if you both a reader/follower. If there are things you would like to see here on KWCardDesign, please let me know!! I can't wait to read your comments!!!!
