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.

Fat Quarter Valentine’s Tree…….just until I think of a better Name!

I am the queen of being “sidetracked”…this project started because  I was trying to clean my scrap room.  My pin cushion was totally full.  I needed a place to put all my Maya Road pins in full view.  Seriously, if they are tucked away…I forget about them.  So, I had a styrofoam cone left over...

I got home...

~Precious Moments~ Maya Road CHA booth project

This is the new Wavy Layer Book by Maya Road.  I used a ton of different Maya Road product on it.  I used the Hydrangea Maya Mist on the trims to make them turquoise and on most of the chipboard.  I also used a lot of Glossy Accents to make things shiny and epoxy like. ...

~Arghhhhhhhhhh, I knew it was coming, I knew it would be here but yet…..~ oh and 1 more Maya Road Sneak!

I am as always, totally unprepared.  It’s raining terribly this week, tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms, flash flood watches and we live in the back hills so the commute to civilization (By civilization, I mean malls, specialty stores, LSS, Goodwill, Michael’s etc)  is far, especially on a rainy day.  I mean there is a mini mart...

~Dress Forms have made their way into my heart~

Well, actually…they have made it forever ago but I am not just starting to get them into my work area.  I love to be surrounded by them.  Since Caroline just posted DAY 4 of the Maya Road Sneak Peeks, I will take this as my go ahead to share my dress form project.

The dress form...

Yes Martha, your new Microbeads have made me weak in the knees……

Martha Stewart Rocks, she does.  Her new line of microbeads is finding its way into all my new CHA projects………I’m obsessed.
I feel like I did when I first discovered glitter.  I can show you some snippets but that’s all because I can’t show any new Maya Road product until the sneaks start, which is TOMORROW!!
I...

~”Your Honor~ I am Katie Watson, Ian Kinney’s Sister-In-Law….” My letter to the judge and Finally, this day is Over.

Sentence-16 years.
Must Serve 85% of the sentence before eligible for parole.
The max sentence got changed today, it was not supposed to be 18.  There was a charge that overlapped so those 2 years got taken off the max sentence.
So, technically he got the max.
We are relieved this is over.
We have waited 18 months for this...

~Want to take a walk down Memory Lane and see some Really Old Projects of Mine?~

I went back in my TwoPeas Gallery and looked at some of my old projects from years ago………and since I can’t share anything new, nope it’s all top secret until the CHA sneaks start…I thought I would take a walk down Memory Lane.
These are all 3-5 years old.
I have quite a bit of “vintage” Melissa...

~The Story of a Preacher Man and his First Sermon, roadside….to Ian~

Oh…………….I don’t know if I can tell this story without starting my day in tears………however I have wanted to tell this story for 1 1/2 years.  Every time I think about the story it makes me feel like someone is literally reaching inside my chest and squeezing my heart.  I feel shivers when I think...
