~ A little about me and my painting ~
~ A little about me and my painting ~
| Hi! I'm Debbie, owner of All For Katie. I'm the proud mother of a grown son, teenage daughter and four precious grandchildren. Four years ago I quit a busy job in the medical field to work with my husband in a business he had just begun. I began painting as a way to pass the time until business picked up. What began as a hobby soon escalated to a full-time passion. Customers of my husband's would ask if my pieces were for sale. I began selling mailboxes and flower pots in our appliance shop. A radio station came in one day looking for a donation for the Christmas drive so I gave him a flower pot. He came back the next day to ask if I'd like a booth at that sale. A booth? Hmmmmm.....why not? With that... a monster was born! Now I love the shows (much to my husband's dismay), the excitement, the travel, mingling with other crafters and customers that return show after show looking for more items. I love it all! I have since quit working with my husband and do shows full time. |

| At the time my
business was not officially named. Every time I'd come back from a show
my husband would have plans for "our" money. A new lawn mower, a new recliner,
etc. I'd always have the same excuse...our daughter, Caitlin (Katie to
us) needed to pay her cheerleading fees, youth trip fees, new clothes...you
name it. Teenage girls are very expensive. One day he just threw up his
hands and said, "It's always for Katie...all for Katie. I want a new lawn
mower!!"AHHA! I had a company name.
Soon I discovered painting glassware. I think that's my favorite. I love to create unique designs for my customers. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than knowing they love what they purchase from me. So...from my hands to yours.... P.S. My husband got his fancy new riding lawn mower. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ The wine glasses arrived today...PERFECT!!! I am so excited to have them for the holidays. Thanks so much for all your help, flexibility, and wonderful creativity and talent. Elizabeth ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I appreciate the comments from my customers so much.

I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful work you did on the two tins I recently ordered (lighthouse & fruit). My husband and I gave them to my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day. She really loved them! I appreciate you getting them to me in plenty of time. I'll order more later!! Sincerely,
~ ~

Thanks so much... you are so gifted! Best, Marie Karns ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Debbie- the mailbox is beautiful!!!!

Thanks for everything, Cindy Barlow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I received my mailbox on 10/27 - I just had to write to let you know - it is perfect. You really made the hummers and vines pop - thank you so much. Holly Gale ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Hi there! My sister and I each purchased a salad bowl and a trifle bowl from you at Powers Crossroads earlier this year. My sister (named Katie!) got the mixed fruit and I got the strawberry. We both love our pieces! You do such beautiful work. Meg ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ |
