I have spent the last few hours (5 to be exact) trying to figure out just a few of the things you can do on a blog...
Mostly trying to get a pretty picture with my email address in the sidebar... So all you have to do is click and go.
Well, Guess what?! I can't figure it out!!!! So I say " Humpf to that." I will try again another day when NOT cranky.
I did find this cute little Easter Chick at http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ and wanted to share it with you...
Now... I'm wondering how I got the chick posted but I can't seem to figure out the email problem...
I did figure out how to get a fancy signature on my post... Yay Me!!!!!
After working 4 twelve hour shifts last week. Laundry is definitely a must!!
I actually enjoy doing laundry. I find it very relaxing and a form of therapy.
So... I do laundry instead of paying for a therapist. That way I have more money for my thrift stores. Makes sense to me!!!
I love all the great fragrances of the detergents and fabric softeners. My clothes line is fabulous too!! What a perfect house warming gift Randy Taylor (Thank You!!!) There is nothing like fresh sheets on your bed after being hung out in the sunshine and breeze all day...
While waiting for the washing machine to be finished, I had a little treat with some fun reading/daydreaming. I love decorating magazines (and that is an understatement!) I have many many... OK too many magazines/books if that is possible...
The little green saucer with the cookies on it. I picked up in a thrift store for $4.00. They were a set of 4. The cup and saucer I believe was my Grandmothers but could have been a Great Aunts (sorry mom I forgot)... Love them whose ever they were...

It's always fun to go to Grandma's house... She spoils us the entire time we are there!!
Grandma (is in the blue shirt) also has a very fun craft area in her garage, that she lets us play in, when we visit. Hopefully, one day my garage will be as organized as hers.
She is also a very good sharer with all of her fun crafting things!! Olivia (in the white shirt) is making a seashell covered flower pot. I wonder who she will give it to when finished?! Pick me...Pick me... Please...
We eat continuously yummy foods the entire time we are there (I especially love the home made French Fries, the Coconut Cake, and the Tuna Fish Salad and the Sweet Tea).
OK...maybe I love everything!!
Olivia loved the 2 pints of frozen strawberries she ate, and she could probably eat waaay more than that!! The Lentil soup was delicious too!
I will post that recipe soon. When I figure out how to do that. YIKES!!
I have met via email this really sweet girl named Becky, her blog is: http://farmgirlpaints.blogspot.com/ she has been so very helpful in answering all my silly questions on how to do something on my blog!! Thank You Becky!!!
This is my little project. I bought this glass covered/cheese ball dish from a thrift store years ago, many years ago!! That I will mosaic and paint white. Stay tuned for the finished product...
Thank You Grandma for taking such good care of us this weekend.....

Good Morning...
These are the Peacocks that come and visit our yard every couple of weeks. They were here again this morning when I got back from taking Olivia to school. We finally had to name them just because they keep coming back!! (Paul is named after my dad and Paisley is just because I love anything and everything paisley!)
I'm not quite sure who aggravates whom the worst or possibly the most... I have 3 cats (Todd, Princess, and Little Bear) pictures of them to come and little stories of their life later on...
When Paul and Paisley are here. They stay for a couple of hours. Which seems totally crazy to me!! All 3 of my cats chase them and stalk them the entire time. Do they really think the peacocks are cat toys or maybe even dinner?! Really?!
Have a Great Weekend...

My name is Katie Foss. Some call me Mama Foss and as I am starting out with this Blog. I am not really sure what direction it will take/or should I say "I will take."
This has been on my to do list/bucket list for a very long time now, but have been too afraid to start. So Thank You Tara Frey for writing "Blogging For Bliss" and giving me the inspiration and courage to proceed with Just Because Katie...
I am asking all to bear with me while trying to figure the whole behind the scenes of designing the blog, posting photos, the about me section, side bars, banners, gadgets and I believe the list goes on and on (Yikes)... So I am asking for big time help from fellow bloggers (is that a word?).
It took me awhile just to come up with the name. It is not the name I originally picked or should I say my youngest daughter (Lauren Olivia) chose. She wanted me to use "Katie's Korner". But it was already taken. I'm sorry Olivia!! But I think "Just Because Katie" will work out just fine ("What do you think Olivia?). My next step will be to write "The About Me" section.
Have a Great Night
Katie
