Family (Justin) Update

September 14, 2014 by Kat 6 Comments

Hi guys, it’s been a little bit since I posted here but as you know, I’m still reeling from the loss of my very best friend and to be honest I just haven’t had it in me to blog. I have been crafting though and I have some layouts and process videos to share with […]

A Very Blessed Easter Indeed (except for the food poisoining LOL)

April 21, 2014 by Kat Leave a Comment

I hope you all had a blessed Easter Sunday!  Mine was great because my sister in law drove down from Idaho and brought my two nieces and my little nephew so we all went to my mom and step-dad’s house to color eggs, watch them empty their baskets and have dinner.  It was loads of […]

Photos of our new home and my first attempt at sewing (kitchen curtains)…

handmade curtains

Okay so I’m not a seamstress BUT I have sew on scrapbook paper and cards and I have not been able to find curtains that I like so I decided to buy some fabric and make my own.  (which turned out to be more expensive than buying them already made but that’s okay, I appreciate […]

Update From Kat & A Request for Cards for Someone Special…

October 27, 2013 by Kat 3 Comments

I am SO SORRY I haven’t been blogging regularly or making youtube videos guys. Life around here has been crazy! Justin leaves tomorrow for another stint in rehab for 30 days and I’m in the process of house/apartment hunting and it’s really difficult in this school district to find something big enough for my family […]

A Year Ago Today….Remembering Ginger

July 3, 2013 by Kat 4 Comments

A year ago today, I said goodbye to my beloved best friend for 12 1/2 years, Ginger.  It was so difficult and even today I find myself in tears if I think about her too much.  I still call Abby by Ginger’s name periodically and catch myself looking for her from time to time. I’m […]
