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.

New Years Resolution- Turn “Craproom” into Scraproom for REAL!

My scrapbook room is a nightmare………my husband calls it my “craproom”……it has SO much potential but has been the last room in the house to get any attention.  It’s time has come.  Really.  I spend so much quality time in this room, it’s crazy that I haven’t finished it.
I have just been waiting for somebody...

Merry Christmas to you all!!  I hope that your Christmas is filled with family, laughter and joy!
Love,  Katie

~We Believe~ in Angels……and Santa, of Course.

I created this altered red tin for this week’s Creative Therapy project.  It is of course, another Goodwill find.  I love those.

The angels are totally inspired by an angel project that I saw in the Martha Stewart Magazine, the Dec. one…I think. I could make these over and over again, they are that easy and...

~What a difference a Year Makes!~

This was my girl last Dec. 19th.

She has come so far.

She missed running the mile in the required time in P.E. by 40 seconds.  She has made a goal of trying to get under the time next time they run the mile.
She has aches and pains and gets stiff often but she is a determined...

~It’s their World, I’m just visiting~

Have you ever heard that phrase, “Hey, It’s Your World Baby and I’m just visiting”?  Well, for the first time ever….I felt that way when I discovered these secret pictures on my camera.  Multiple love affairs, a secret family…all right under my nose..and I didn’t even know it.  Who is this 12 inch tall man? ...

~Being Comfortable in My Own Skin…..or not~

I am almost 39.  I cannot remember a time that I have ever been comfortable in my own skin.  Why?  It is something that I am really thinking about lately because recently something has been changing in me….I am starting to figure out who I am a little bit more.
(Notice my battle scar on my...

~Made me Giggle and a great Forward~

I got a forward today……..I get a lot of those but  I’m not much of a “forward” forwarder……but the one that I read today really “touched me”.
So I forwarded it to my brother-in-law, Jake.  The forward is below.   I usually try to write something at the top of the forward so that the recipient knows...

~$5 Garage Sale Americana Folk Art Score and a few more of my favorite finds~

If there is one thing that I am addicted to, it is other peoples cast offs……..seriously,  the saying “One persons trash is another persons treasure” is almost my motto.
It drives my husband CRAZY!
He is a simple man, just needs the basics, he is into throwing stuff away or donating it to the thriftstore that he...

~A Graveside Note~

I have tears in my eyes right now….it’s so unreal to think that I am typing about a note left on Ian’s grave.  It still doesn’t seem possible.  It just doesn’t seem possible that he has a grave.  God, how could that be?  It’s like I know it’s true but it seems like this lie...

Christmas Advents, Banners and a Very LONG Advent Envelope Christmas Countdown Banner!

Another busy week, as usual but a fun one.  The tree is up, the stockings are hung and the yearly banner/advent is made!
This one was an idea that I had as soon as I saw the Maya Road envelopes….but I had other projects that I had to finish first…and then I dragged this one out...
