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.

~Vintage Purse album~ My 7Gypsies CHA booth project…all about my Grandma Montana

My great-grandma was named Montana. I love that name….she was the first child born to my gggrandparents in America. They...

~Back from the Beach~

~ For the 2nd summer in a row, we stayed up at the Marine base in Oceanside on the beach. They rent little cottages for 4 days at a time. My in-laws got a hotel right off base and spent the first few days with us. The kids had a blast. It was good to...

However I did pass it up…..and then came home and thought about it….dreamed about it….and went back and bought it.This is my son, Cory…he is a guitar playing 17 year...
