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.

The strawberry album makes the cutest summer tabletop decoration.  Here I put it in a vintage Strawberry Basket that I have in my collection.  So cute and summery!

~Reflecting on Reflections~

Wow, wow, wow.  I could sleep for days.  Really, I could.  On my way home, I pulled over at a rest stop because I could not keep my eyes open any longer.  I was totally nodding off while I was driving.  So, I pulled over at a rest stop with a pretty view of the...

~Sunny Days~ A reminder to myself

Lately, I find that I have been using lots of gathered photos rather then event photos for my mini books.  I like to do this, just gather my favorite moments or favorite memories…and sometimes just my favorite pictures.  I am so visual, so I love little books of pictures to look through.  After all, every...
