Life, Life, Life...

Even though I've been trying to keep the general "mood" of my blog up, I still feel like my posts are lacking, and inspiration is missing lately.  I apologize for that.  My family is going through some life stuff right now, and while I don't want to disclose all of my personal "junk" here, I do want to let you know that there is a reason for my distance.  I appreciate each and every one of you, and while posting may be a little sparse for some time, you are still on my mind.  I'll share more when I can... for now I'm doing my best to stay positive.  :)  Here's a bit of what we've been up to:

New favorite records. :)

Sprinkler-trampoline fun!

Buddy time.  <3

Packing things from here to there to here to there...

Receiving packages from friends with funny packing materials.  :)

Shopping for Father's Day presents.  Shhhh.

 Doing photo shoots for friends.

Enjoying my favorite summer fruit!!!!

Going to the pool! (Okay, typically I WOULD NOT post bathing suit pictures of myself, but I wanted to show my new suit!  I LOOOOVE it!)

Enjoying favorite dresses and summer days!

Right now we are in the middle of getting a new car as well, so we are keeping very busy.  I think staying busy is the key distraction from other things... at least for a while.  ;)  Anyway, I hope summer is treating you well... also, I hope you'll forgive the heaviness of this post.  I would so much rather be light-hearted ALL. THE. TIME.    xoxo Katie

Oh, Man... It's the Weekend!

I hope you all have happy-making plans for this weekend.  I don't have anything set in stone, other than to be foot-loose and fancy-free.  Kind of like this:

(this girl has one of my most favorite Photostreams ever)

Have a great one, friends! xo Katie

P.S.  If you haven't already checked out Chelsea's new shop, please stop by and give it a look through!  I'm so proud of her.  :)

Tomorrow's Update!

Here's a peek at some of the items you will find in the shop at 4:00 CST tomorrow.  :)

I don't have a whole bunch of pieces, but hopefully there will be enough for everyone who wants to snag one!  I plan to sew through the night and have more to offer by tomorrow.  Until then...

xoxo Katie

The Whole Shabang

I finally had J take some proper photos of my tattoo so I can share it in its entirety.  I can't wait until it's done healing so I can go swimming!

Girl silhouette by the very talented Charmaine Olivia.

There it is.  :)  Feedback on this is great (like always), but if you aren't a fan of tattoos, keep in mind that it's already on my body and nothing negative you can say will change that.  Mean comments will only hurt my feelings.<3

Three more days of house sitting and then I'll FINALLY be home!  I can't wait.  I'm planning a shop update for Thursday at 4:00 CST, so I hope to see you there.  I will have all new stuff!  Exciting!  Have a great day!!!  xoxo Katie
