How Does Katie Watson Spend the Holidays?

What is your favorite part of the holiday season?
Decorating for sure! I love to see how excited the kids get when we bring in the Christmas boxes to be unpacked...they oooh and aaahhhh over every thing as they unpack it.

Do you make homemade presents for people?

Yes, every year. I love giving homemade presents for people. If I had a ton of money I would buy the people I love extravagant gifts that were perfect for them but I don't...so instead of giving them some cheap present...I spend that money on supplies and create something special for them. It means much more to them anyway.


What’s your favorite holiday indulgence?
Drinking Baily's and Hot Chocolate with Christmas Music playing in the background.


What are you hoping to find in your stocking?
New makeup.......it won't happen because Santa has no idea how to buy makeup but if I could have anything, it would be new, department store makeup. All in my colors.



What scrap supplies are you drooling over this season?

The Maya Road Chandelier Beads and October Afternoon's Farm Fresh line.

Be sure to check out Katie's blog and see all the beautiful things she does. AMAZING!!

How Does Kelly Goree Spend the Holidays?

What is your favorite part of the holiday season?
Traditions. Hand down. We have quite a few of them from building a gingerbread house to baking cookies to the Christmas Tree Squirrel (A husband invented concept!) and I look forward to them all year long and the kids do, too! It's what makes the holidays complete for me.

Do you make homemade presents for people?
I'v never really "crafted" presents for people but I often do photographic gifts and absolutely love it. It might be a photo session, photo book, portraits of their kids (or mine) or an art piece that I designed, but it always comes from the heart. I love seeing how they turn out and what my friends and family think of them.

What’s your favorite holiday indulgence?
Mmmm....that's a hard one. When I was a kid it was definitely my grandmother's homemade fudge. It was so rich and packed full of nuts and truly sinful! Now it's more likely to be watching sappy holiday movies night after night and driving my poor husband crazy with them!

What are you hoping to find in your stocking?
A Tamron 18-270mm lens. It'll fit, I've already checked and Santa, I've been a VERY good girl this year!

What scrap supplies are you drooling over this season?
I am really wanting a Cuttlebug. Jen McGuire put it in my head with how incredibly she uses the embossing folders for her gorgeous cards and I. must. have. one. It's next on my scrappy list!

good stuff!

Last night we had a little party at our house and one of my friends brought a hostess gift. After the party was over and we were cleaning up I remembered and ran over to open it. It was the most thoughtful gift- Liz's book! It was especially thoughtful because my friend isn't even a scrapbooker. She remembered I wanted it and went to Barnes and Noble and got it for me. Isn't that sweet?

I was totally tired but I had to take a peek. And then....I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! Total goodness. I'm even more excited that she is coming to teach at Reflections!
