FREE HUGS – 4.28.14

Hi guys, it’s me, that girl katie, This past weekend was my sister’s funeral. I want to share a small part of what I said at her service along with the short video clip I took with my phone.

My talk was directed to my niece.

Your mom loved hugs and believed that you needed a certain number of hugs a day, which was least a bare minimum of 3 hugs. She loved getting hugs & she loved giving hugs. Your mom was always telling me a hug is ended when one person pulls away so at times it was a hugging contest between us. To her, the act of hugging meant so much she even had it incorporated in her email address and phone number.

And because I believe this is what Stacy would want, I invite you all to stand up and HUG a few of Stacy’s loved ones around you.

It was so my sister and for that it puts a smile on my face.

Cheers to Free Hugs.

Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, A dear friend sent me this quote that is ringing very loud within my ears.

“The most beautiful people I've known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.” ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

My sister lived and experienced all of those. She was a beautiful woman who will be missed by so many beautiful people.

Thank you for all your love and support during this hard time.

SPRING TIME - 4.7.14

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.

MARCH 24TH

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?

CUSTOM INK TRUCKER HAT

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.
