Hi y'all, it's me, that girl katie, Easter is just around the corner I came up with a few easy steps on how to paint a duck for the holiday. I hope you enjoy watching it and really hope you give it a try.
Have fun!

I WAS ACKNOWLEDGED
Hi there, it's me, that girl katie, I recently blogged about my friend Barb Frye's book, Stop Wishing Start Living
Well, as it turns out my mom and I were acknowledged in the book. Yes, we did triple backflips. Ok, maybe just in our minds we did backflips but it sure felt like we actually did them. We did jump up and down with excitement. What an amazing honor! Love you Barb and thank you so much.
Also, I was at a blogging conference this past week and Jessica Alba was there with her company, The Honest Company. I handed Barb's book off to her friends but not without writing a short note in it beforehand.
Please support Barb by buying her book.
(Above is the documentary I did on Barb a few years ago, Still Moving)
HOLIDAY CARDS
Hi there, it's me, that girl katie, I grew up with my family sending off holiday cards and receiving them in bundles so it makes sense the tradition is very important to me and I am pretty confident that the apple won't fall far from the tree for my kids down the road.
I love brainstorming ideas all year and often change courses when a great picture happens unexpectedly as was the case this year. For me, it's a creative outlet while also keeping in touch with so many people.
I am really thankful for all cards I received this year. For me, I love seeing how families are growing and changing, the simple feeling of gratitude that I feel knowing we have so many wonderful people in our life & for a few weeks I run to the door like a kid to get the mail. I like to think that my love of holiday cards is like the thrill my kids have opening a new door to the advent calendar, pure enjoyment throughout most of the holiday season.
Holiday cards are hands down my favorite gifts I receive during the holiday. Of course, there are always a few that really stand out in the bunch.
So, thank you to all who took the time to send out holiday cards. I know they are a huge amount of effort during a crazy busy time of year but so appreciated in my house.

STOP WISHING & START LIVING
Hi there, it's me, that girl katie, A few years ago I did a documentary on Barb Frye which I titled, Still Moving. (vimeo link above to watch documentary)
I am super excited to share with you Barb's first book, Stop Wishing & Start Living. She has inspired me and I have no doubt will do the same for you.
You can buy her book today on Amazon.com.
Barb, way to ROCK it girlfriend! So happy & excited for you.
LIGHT UP YOUR NEW YEAR
Hi there, it's me, that girl katie, The neighborhood I live in motivates to light it up during the holidays and this year they inspired me to join in on the fun.
There is a variety of styles, Bob and Jean's tiny homes, The Shea’s (I think) aka The Griswolds, classic white lights and my less is more approach, Joy. Pure enjoyment for all ages.
Happy 2013
