About Me

Hi, I'm Katie Jane (or as I'm known by my close friends and fam- "Kajan"). I would like to take a quick minute of your time to tell just a little about myself and how I got started. I have been married for over ten years to my husband J. We shocked everyone after J asked me to marry him after only a couple of months. I finished my degree from Auburn University and started working right away with children. J and I quickly decided to try for a family as we knew that I would possibly take us some time due to some complications I have. We tried on our own, and when it did not happen, we decided to seek help from a specialist. After 7 years of trying, several heartbreaking miscarriages, four specialist, and an incredible amount of prayer and belief in God, we were able to carry a full term baby boy, Little Man. Then a little over a year later, we embarked upon our journey again and within 4 months I was pregnant with Little Girl.

During the time that we were trying to become pregnant, J purchase a machine which monogrammed (I think in hopes to give me a hobby to take my mind off of all that was going on). All of our friends were pregnant, having babies, and having birthday parties for their little ones. As hard as this time was, God provided me with this creative outlet, as protection for my heart. I would sit down and create a handmade item to take, allowing me not to focus on what we did not have but on what we would have some day, praying for our future and also the future of the child that I was creating the item for. Many friends asked me to start doing little things for them and it has just taken off from there. I find in the times that my life seems to be the craziest, I am at my most creative. After the birth of our Little Man (aka. Doodles), the creative juices seemed to increase and now that we have Little Girl (aka. Sweet Pea) they are overflowing. God has been so faithful to allow my business to grow in such away that I am able to stay at home, a true calling.

At the requests of my friends and customers, I'm beginning a new adventure in the world of blogging. My business will be primarily run through Etsy, but this will be a starting point for y'all to check out my work. Each item I create is unique and personal. Please take a look around, and if you would like to place an order visit http://doodlesduds.etsy.com/

Thanks and God bless,
Katie

P.S. I just wanted to take a minute to thank my husband J. You have always believed in me, encouraged me, pushed me when I needed it, and put up with my insanity. Without you and your prayers, this is not possible.

Also to my friends and family who have helped encourage me along the way and prayed for me, THANKS!!! You have a chosen to ride this CRAZY roller coaster ride with me, thanks for not getting off :). A special thanks to A for taking me by the hand and pulling me along. You truly put up with a lot.
