hi everyone its Keren here and thank you so much for coming back to my channel
today I have a very heartfelt video it's a video for my heart to all of you who
have supported me over the years I started scrapbooking 15 years ago when
my son was about two years old and I really feel like I owe so much not only
to the industry but also to all the amazing people I've met over the years
when I started scrapbooking I really never thought that it would take me to
where he has taken me today I basically just started it because I wanted to
record pictures of my son and I wanted to record pictures of my family and just
do scrapbooking albums and that's what I started doing I started filling them up
and that was around 2003 when I just did it for fun somebody introduced me to
that and I just you know I the first time I went I took some classes and I
just couldn't look back and I really really loved it so much then in 2010 I
think no 2011 I decided to actually start my own blog I mainly wanted to
enter some giveaways and contests and I knew that to do that you needed to have
a blog so literally I just sat down one day was March 10th 2011 I said I'm
starting a blog and I literally started a blog out of nowhere and set it all up
figure it all out on my own it was a blogspot blog and I started entering
challenges with my layouts because I really loved scrapbooking and excuse me
and I started entering them and just trying to see where it would take me and
then I saw that I could actually apply for design teams and I started applying
for design teams my fir design team was sketch abilities from Karen Gerber if
you know her online she's an amazing crafter and I was so happy when she took
me on on her design team it was really really fun and just then I started
applying to other ones and started making it to other design things and
basically just never looked back in 2014 when you know 2013 when I actually
made it to on the Prima design team and also on the 70s design team I had really
fulfilled something in me that I really wanted to feel like I was part of
something and that was a huge accomplishment for me and I also started
a YouTube channel somewhere around there probably in 2012 if I'm not mistaken oh
gosh I don't know the exact time I'm chronologically or anything like that
but I wasn't really active on YouTube as much in the past few years of which I
would say maybe three four years I basically decided that I want to do the
YouTube videos full-time I also started teaching and I started teaching not only
locally but everywhere in different places in South America and and in in
Canada and I really wanted to fulfill the dream of teach I always thought I
was going to be a teacher and I never actually I mean I applied to Teachers
College when I was younger but dad didn't take me basically the universe
didn't take me in that path but I guess I was meant to be a teacher and I
decided that not only do I want to teach him in the stores but I also want to do
YouTube videos I really like technology and I really love doing that and
creating videos and inspiring and teaching people and that's really why I
started my YouTube channel and I started doing videos and I am so happy that
after few years of working so hard I've reached 10k ten thousand subscribers and
I'm really really really thankful not only for the opportunity but for all of
you that have supported me that have liked and have commented that have
subscribed and I'm just really really really just so thankful I really don't
know sometimes what to say I don't know like you know I'm just so overwhelmed
with the fact that you guys love what I do and that really makes me feel like
really really happy and special and I try as much as I can to reciprocate that
and you know comment on your things on Facebook and see all their beautiful art
and that's why I always say please tag me when you make something because I
really want to see it and it's really hard sometimes with the Facebook feeds
or Instagram feeds to actually follow everyone and I really try to as much as
I can but just being thankful to you all that's
so so important to me and you know it makes me kind of very mushy and and I
don't want to cry but I want to just really say my sincere thanks to everyone
and of course when I do this I usually have giveaway and you know that because
you've seen it or me already talking about it for a few days and I feel like
since today is that Christmas even know I mean I kind of didn't plan it

them if they wanted to have if they wanted me to have a huge price or they
wanted me to have six smaller prizes and it was pretty close but the smaller
price is won by like I don't know twenty percent and what I decided to do is
instead of having smaller prizes I actually kind of opted them up and made
six huge prices I think they're huge for me it would be amazing to receive
something like that and the main one which is the main one is which is
