Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, Spring has arrived in most of the states but here in Jackson, WY we still have snow on the ground although it's quickly melting.
Anyhow, I put this quick video together showing the steps I took to showcase some spring flowers.
I hope you enjoy it and HAPPY SPRING.
Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, For the last couple of days my iCal calendar has been reminding me that my birthday is coming up and today is the day. Like I would forget and in a way this year I did want to hide under a rock but hey, thanks iCal for the reminder. I plan to post more about how I feel about this birthday but for now I thought I would share my personal birthday quote to myself.
I've always wanted a tattoo. Do you think this would make a good one?
Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, A few months ago my husband had a monumental birthday and like most guys he could of cared less and was very clear he didn't want a big celebration.
While I was thrilled I got a hall pass for planning a surprise party, I knew I wanted to create something special for him.
So, I decided I would design a hat and send a bunch with him on his annual guys ski trip.
Steps: 1. Discovered CustomInk 2. Created an account and uploaded a picture 3. The Art Department turned my image into a B & W character image 4. Added the glass and bottle 5. Approved design 6. Purchased
It took a few phone calls but it was an easy process. The staff at CustomInk were very friendly and easy to work with.
I know, not the best quality pictures but I was super thankful to receive these.
Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, If you have been following along then you already know I entered my Map It Out Desk into a contest. There are so many talented people who also entered a DIY project.
I spent part of my morning checking out all the other entries and choose 6 that I could really see myself re-creating and 1 that is a dream.
Blog links and why I choose these projects:
1. Union Jack Coffee Table from, Magic City Thistle - I have a stool that I have wanted to do something like this to for many years.
2. Farmhouse Light from, The Wood Grain Cottage - I spent 3 months in Bali and always thought the rooster baskets would make the coolest Lamp Pendent and this reminded me of that.
3. Picture Collage from, TwoZeroOne - I would love to do this someday with pictures from camping trips but right now we don't have an empty wall.
4. Concerte Floor from, Wills Casa - I love graphic floors, rugs & walls. Here is my chevron rug video I produced. Maybe I should paint our garage floor next?
5. Rustic Headboard from, Chic On A Shoestring Decorating - Making a headboard has been on my "to do" list for my sons bedroom.
6. Play Kitchen from, Southern Revivals - I want to cook in this kitchen. Creating something like this for my kids and their friends would be so fulfilling to make and even more fun watching them play with it.
7. Backyard Workspace from, Kruses Workshop - A studio space separated from the house is a big dream of mine.
Again, here is my "Map It Out Desk" entry and the link to vote CWTS2014
Best of luck to all 250 entries! Wow, that's a lot of DIYing.
Hey, it’s me, that girl katie, I entered this contest and the saying "it takes a village" sure does seem fitting.
I submitted my DIY “Map It Out Desk” that I posted last summer. CLICK HERE if you missed the link on the project.
One of the requirements for entry into the contest is getting followers to LIKE, PIN and SHARE your project. Easy right? Well, not really. I know everyone is busy and given free time one probably wants to spend it relaxing, spending more time with your kids or more importantly supporting all your loved ones who are fighting the cancer fight. But we all need to LIVE our DREAMS and this is me pursing one of my dreams.
3 Reasons I entered this contest? 1st - To be creative 2nd - Make contacts with other creative and inspiring individuals. 3rd - To gain recognition = gaining more followers
I struggle with the follower aspect because I am not a marketing person. Once I finish a project I want to start working on the next project. Spending time marketing just isn’t my thing but I know that I need to get better with it.
