Hello Readers!

Hello everyone! 


I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Katee Smith, and I am the youngest of Ashlee and Hailee's sisters. (There is one more--Whitnee--but she's not crafty). I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to an amazing 1-year-old little boy named Hampton. My husband, Shaun, is a quality engineering manager at a manufacturing company, and the best eternal companion I could ask for. We have been married just over 3 1/2 years.

When I have time (during nap time and after bed), I like to make things. I do crafts of all kinds--from wood cutting to apparel, quilting to painting. You name it, and I would probably try it! The next two on my list to learn are wood burning and metal stamping, but I'm not sure when that will happen.

I decided that instead of trying to continue my own craft blog that only gets updated maybe once every 8 months, I would join my sisters and contribute to this blog. I hope to have many posts, and hope you enjoy them as much as I love to create the items in them! 

Have a wonderful day! Happy reading!
Katee

Craft Show! 4th of July

For the 4th of July, I jumped into a home made crafts show with my good friend Sarah (in the pic with her cute niece). I made a bunch of things homemade.. I’ll post them soon! We want to do another in the fall though! Next time we’ll have a tent too.. it was so hot and sunny that we both got quite a sunburn!

Hey Hey!! What have you been up to?!!

I have been BUSY with my new little consulting company. Have you heard of Paparazzi Accessories?? Fabulous, Fashionable, Trendy jewelry.. necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, hair clips and headbands.. Everything for just $5+tax! It has been a BLAST!! You can check out my Paparazzi Blog here. I’ve been doing quite a few craft shows. Here are pics of my last couple!! But that’s not all I’ve been doing…

I’ll post what else I’ve been up to in another post. But this has taken up quite a bit of time as I have also had to build displays and other such crafty stuff .. but I’ll leave that all on my business blog! So if you need ideas you can check it out over there!
