Karla I am so excited and happy for you and I can tell you are looking forward to having a place and person to share life with. She will love all your different crafts. She might even get involved herself. Take it slow and steady and soon you will be moved and sharing your days and evenings with her. I am sticking with you, no fears. It will be fun to watch the journey....

[HelenTNYC]

I happy you found a better place live. I know how important have a home that is safe and secure is. I will be here for your journey. Looking forward to seeing a video from your new place.

[stevebuckwalter]

Sounds like a great opportunity and a comforting situation indeed! ...other than all the work involved. I'm looking forward to you sharing your new place with us.

[StitchesOfSass]

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend.

But blessings do come to those who need them, and if anyone deserves a break-it’s you! And having the companionship of a roommate (and built in family right next door) will fill a piece of your soul that has been empty for awhile now. That makes me very happy for you!

I will always watch, even if you have nothing to show and come on just for chats!

[susanradford]

I’m so sorry about the loss of your friend BUT I’m delighted to hear your living situation is going to improve so much. How lovely it will be to have a flat mate and someone to chat to at the end of the day. Of course I will stay with you and support you on this new chapter of your life.

[MandyParker]

Sending you all the best for the coming weeks & a smooth move & getting settled, we’ll be here, along with your crafts, when you have the time & energy ❤

[kayinthecave]

I am so far behind on videos, and this is delightful news. I am very excited for you and this new chapter in your life. 💜💜

[Julie_M_]

I'm here for the long haul so no worries there. I'm glad that you feel this will be a good move for you, even if it will be a lot of work and a huge transition. I look forward to hearing all about it. Yes, I would absolutely watch a pack with Karla video. If there is some cool stuff that you like but you're sending it to thrift you can do show & tell for us! As always, I appreciate the video xoxo

[hippiechicstitches]

Awww Karla so happy you will get to move in with your friend! That is such great news! Sorry you lost Kip😢 I hope everything goes smoothly! You and Baggy deserve it, girl! Love you so much! Keep your chin up and have positive thoughts! ❤

[denisejeffries]

I am so happy for you that I cried! I have been thinking about you and praying for you for years whenever you would talk about your personal life. I am truly happy for you that this opportunity opened up for you and Lorraine. I hope you will share, many years of friendship, life, and laughter!

[shadowshadow-itqj]

Sorry about the loss of your friend. Glad something hopefully wonderful is coming out of the situation for both you and Lorraine. Sounds like you have a good attitude about the change, Karla, and everything syncs well timewise. Hopefully Baggy and his new roommate will be sympatico, too.

Maybe while you are packing your crafty goodies, you could film some parades (kits, fabric, floss, etc). Take care and see you next time!

[stitching_geri]

Hi Karla. I am super excited for you, and I look forward to seeing your new adventure come to fruition. 💗

[denisejeffries]

By the way Karla, seeing you all natural is beautiful ☺️

[CarolAttrux]

Hi Karla! I am sorry for the loss of your dear friend but I am happy for you and this opportunity! It will be great for both of you! 👏💐

[Kim-iloveeeyore]

Dont mind me crying, happy tears, where you can feel safe and loved. I am so happy you will have someone to love and to love you.

[susiemarshall]

So sorry for the loss of your friend Karla. But so happy for the news of you moving. It will be nice to know that someone will be there for you even if it’s just to say hi especially if you had a rough day. I will be waiting for a video no matter what the content will be-crafting, moving or just the weather update! We aren’t going anywhere! Best wishes and take care. 💕

[RedHatStamper]

Oh I’ll be here to watch your channel. I’d love to see your new place, and how you set it up. Sounds like a win-win situation.

[sandiefortenberry]

Sorry to hear of your loss. Sounds like things will be better for you. Just pack and keep the end result in mind. I am so happy for you. You won’t be forgotten but would like a small update now and then as how you are doing. Love you girl!

[debbiek]

So sorry for the loss of your friend, Karla. I hope your transition to your new living situation goes smoothly. It sounds like it may be just what you need. I’m sure your friend’s daughter will be happy to have someone around for her mom as well. One day at a time it will all get done. I look forward to hearing all about it!

[emmaswartz]

Hi Karla, I’m so sorry about your friend, I hope that your move goes well, thank you for enabling me into buying Kitty Litter, Blue Moon Fairy and adding The Black Pearl onto my wish list.
