Now it is my privledge to introduce you a creative talent like none other, Kristine McKay.
Founder of My Craft Channel Kristine McKay
My Craft Channel has been a personal mission years in the making. Crafting has been an important part of my life for many years. I was always creative, yet I never considered myself “crafty” until one day (many years ago), when my husband was in law school, a one year old, and another baby on the way. the four walls of my home. I had a one year old and had one on the way. With no time or money, I remember feeling trapped within the four walls of my home. One day I discovered an old shelf. I decided to try and paint it to match my living room. When it was completed I found myself smiling every single time I looked at the wall. Suddenly it dawned on me . . . I did NOT live in a prison with four walls. I was surrounded by a blank canvas just waiting to be discovered. My life changed that day. Crafting is a personal expression of creativity. It has filled my life with so much joy, it’s my mission to share that with others.
I am thrilled to be surrounded by such amazing talent on My Craft Channel. I scoured the country and literally interviewed hundreds of women. I feel like I have found the cream of the crop. Each week I will interview a panel of industry experts from manufacturer’s, retailers, designers, and bloggers. We will explore a variety of topics and would love to hear your suggestions.
News, Paper, Scissors & Glue
New to My Craft Channel is News, Paper, Scissors & Glue hosted by Kristine McKay. Stop by each week where McKay will lead a lively discussion with industry insiders. They will discuss hot industry news, new product releases, and managing the ever changing crafting market. We invite you to take a look behind the scenes with manufacturers, retailers, and top designers. Find out their secret to success and how things work behind the scenes.
