Announcing- Kara’s Party Ideas- The SHOW!

25

Yes, you read it right! I’m thrilled to share some exciting news today. Kara’s Party Ideas is starting a whole new adventure…

I will be hosting my very own Kara’s Party Ideas SHOW on My Craft Channel!!

In just a few weeks, you will not only be able to visit a place for all things party, but will be able to WATCH a show for all things party!

My Craft Channel is the first of it’s kind in online TV Networking. My Craft Channel delivers broadcast quality programming. With over 20 different shows there is something in store for everyone! Top experts, craft celebrities, bloggers in various niches from sewing, painting, scrapbooking, DIY projects, photography, mixed media and more have joined together to bring entertaining education to the web with TV formatted shows!

As some of you saw on Facebook, I have been filming in the My Craft Channel studio this week. {Here I am trying to get my mic clipped to my back. Teehee…}

Are you as excited as I am?! Oh, I can’t wait.

I just have to say thank you to all of YOU, my wonderful readers, followers and fans. What a fun and exciting year this has been. I wake up pinching myself almost every day because I honestly can’t believe that any of this is real….all of you- following little ol’ me, Kara’s Party Ideas, my book, my shop, my show, my wonderful husband, my sweet boys, my family, my loving God above, my friends, my awesome assistants…is this really my life? I am so incredibly blessed and don’t know what I did to deserve it all. I must say though, if there’s one thing I’ve learned through it all it’s this- when you dream, dream BIG. Be driven. Don’t ever give up, and don’t let anyone tell you that your goals and dreams are unreachable. No matter where you’ve come from and no matter where you’ve been, anything is possible with persistence and hard work…anything. So thank you, family and friends- from the bottom of my heart- for being so supportive, for believing in me, and for coming along with me on this crazy fun ride. What exciting things are to come!!

xoxo,

Kara
