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.

Reclaiming My Time~ or at least getting some help trying to do it!~

I am one of those people that can get a TON done in a short amount of time.  Sometimes when I am relaying to someone what I did in the last 2 days, I am astonished at myself…but then the next 5 days will go by and really I just piddle.
I start this and I...

Let’s talk Chippy Shabby Paint, shall we?

(ETA- I now use a new product called Maya Resist for this technique, it’s much easier and SO much less time consuming!!  1 bottle lasts forever and it doesn’t dry out like Rubber Cement.  It goes on like buttah and peels off just as easy).

I did this tutorial for the Maya Road Design Team...

My Little Cupcake is 10 Years Old and these are her “Little Cupcake” Birthday Invites!

Yesterday was my sweet little Hannah’s 10th Birthday.  I can’t believe that she is in the double digits.  It doesn’t make me feel any older because I already felt older but what it does do is make me worry that time with her is passing too quickly.  I don’t want her to be in the...
