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.

Am I off my rocker? Seriously?

Ok, so we all know that I love to create and design……I also love to teach.  I teach around my families schedule and kind of just teach here and there.  My classes do well but I’m not sure that I would consider myself a “professional” but more just a Mom doing what I love.  Just...

Was that a really long title or what?  I’m sure some of you that are sticklers about  proper forms of speech and the rules of writing have long given up on my blog…I’m not much of a rule follower with writing..I just kind of ramble. Which, I am just about to do again.
