Thank you for letting me visit The 36th Avenue, Desiree!
I’m always blown away with the creativity and talents you share with us.
What makes Kari be-YOU-tiful?
Among so many things that I love about her, one of those amazing qualities that she has is her down to earth personality.
Her blog U Create is a perfect example of the gift she has of making everyone someone.
U Create is a place where Kari and her team share not just their ideas but give us all the opportunity
to share ours with thousands of awesome U Create followers day after day!
If you want inspiration visit her blog!
Here is a picture of a small portion of her sidebar archives.
By the way this is just from A to C… WOW!
I still remember the first time a project from The 36th Avenue was featured over at UCreate.
My Anni’s Paper Beads were there and what a surprise this was to the both of us!
My pageviews that day I believe tripled!
As a brand new blogger I felt super honored…
but as a mother I felt beyond grateful to have my little girl’s project featured on such an amazing blog.
Months later I had the privilege to visit Kari’s blog again,
this time as a guest, and was able to share my Sew Cute Corner.
This was an exciting experience for me, if I tell you the truth I felt so special.
There we were, me and my little blog visiting and hanging out with thousands of readers.
I had a blast!
Since those early days of blogging I have had the blessing of not just being featured on different occasions,
being a guest again, and meeting Kari personally…
but I have grown to have a great respect for the woman behind such an extraordinary blog.

So Kari you are YOU!
You are genuine and there is an honesty about you that I adore.
You are kind!
You treat others as equals even though U-Create has over 30,000 subscribed readers
you make the one feel like a rock star.
I love you for that!
You are beYOUtiful because personally I can say you gave me confidence
when my blog was in the crawling stage.
You inspired me to take those first steps and start to walk as a blogger.
You keep inspiring me now making me believe I can run.
For that alone and for more I think you are beautiful YOU my friend!
Thank you Kari for visiting with us today…
I love you girl!
Make sure you guys take a minute to visit Kari and her blog.
Obviously I love it there!
Happy Saturday my Friends!
Desirée
I love it! Although I haven’t seen her recently, Kari is a real life friend of mine and I can second everything you’ve written about her. She’s an amazing mom and a wonderful friend, someone I truly admire!
Love you Kari!
Oh Desiree what a surprise! In blogging I feel like there are many ups and downs for me and you just made my whole day by your sweet words and kindness (and brought me to tears).
What an honor to meet you in person and call you my friend. ♥
I just stopped over and checked out her blog and I love it – I will be following her through Blog Lovin now – my favorite way to follow blogs!
