About
Hi there and welcome to LiveOriginally! I’m Katie, a 20 something married gal living in [mostly] sunny San Diego. I’m a Kansas City (Missouri, thank you very much, not Kansas) native, recovering wedding addict.
I started LiveOriginally for a few reasons. I love to blog, but left my wedding blog behind after wanting to write about the many other things that excite me! Secondly, I have been a lover of crafts, homemaking, and general design inspiration ever since I can remember – why not share such great things with the blogosphere? Lastly, I wanted a place to share my thoughts, projects, and general findings that help me to live a happy, creative, and original life.
Welcome to my little corner of the world! I'm so happy that you stopped by. I'm Katie, lover of pretty (and crafty) things, chasing dreams, and being nice. I take every chance I get to create and be creative. The world is an incredible place and I feel blessed to be a part of it. Learn more [mostly useless] information about me

Hello Darling Katie, loving the blog! You may have to guide your auntie through it though, never looked/read/wandered through a blog – but I’m enjoying yours!!

I want to make a bierthday calandar but cannot find folders with pockets as shown in you February 2011, page 74.. Please advise on where to purchase them.
Hi Katie!
I look forward to reading about your fun projects/adventures on here. I hope all is well in sunny San Diego!
I stumbled upon this via facebook and I just have to say- love it! You most definitely are one of the most creative people I know, and have been that way ever since I can remember as well

Hey Katie! Just saw a link to LiveOrginally on my FB Newsfeed and it caught my eye. The website and content is beautiful, fun and lovely! You’ve always had a great eye for design/decor. Hope things are well!
