Katie Bee Creative bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

My name is Katie Watson and I live in Southern California.  I'm married to a Navy Pilot so we have traveled the country coast to coast calling many different states our home. I am a Mom to 3 children and 2 cats. I am on the Design Team for Maya Road which I Love, Love, Love!! I love vintage anything and everything...I would rather rummage then organize and am just plain happy when I'm doing some form of art! I love mini books and altered projects and would describe my style as shabby chic mixed with thrift store randomness.

~A Baby Shower Gift………instead of a Birthday Banner~

Well, not only do cupcakes, tulle and ballerinas speak Birthday to me….they also speak little girl to me.  So, what I wanted to do was to re-create my Cupcake Birthday Banner as a Name Banner for a Baby Nursery.
My Sister-in-law is hosting a baby shower for a work friend.  She is having a baby girl...

And yes, they will be ready to ship by the end of the week!
