my website

There are some changes going on! This one I am excited about and have been dreaming about for awhile. This one has always been in the back of my mind for at least a year. So, thanks to some friends, and good references, I will be updating my website. Well, not me! But, Amy Cluck of Pepto Girl.

I have been busy doing some research of websites that I like, to get some good ideas. Do you have a favorite?? Mostly, I have been looking at my long list of bookmarks. There were over 80, and some that aren't around any longer. I wonder how this happens, and it's kinda sad. I know someone has either lost their business or just lost interest in what they were doing and has moved on.

Here is one that I just revisited and find so cute. And she has free downloads. Like this one. I love silhouettes.



So, look at the before of my website, and wait for the after. It will be clean, and easy to navigate. And I will finally have pay pal! Also, check out Amy. She has some fun, and sassy handmade crafts.

paper doll

This is my paper doll.  I use her everywhere I can.  It's my attempt at branding.  When you see a paperdoll you think of katie jean.

I found her at a local antique mall.  She came in a packet with two brothers, an older and a younger.  There was also supposed to be a little sister but she wasn't there.  My doll came with some cute clothes too.  But I think her underwear is cute on it's own, that's usually how she appears.  She is even on my business card in her undies too!

When I bought her, I had no idea how I was going to use her.  I love to decoupage using some Mary Engelbreit paperdolls, so I thought I might do that.  This was before I had really started my business.  Now she is kept safe away from all scissors and glue!

So, now when I see a paperdoll, my heart beats a little faster.  Old or new it doesn't matter.  I even love to find paperdoll fabrics.  What do you like to collect?
