I used to follow Kathy Orta closely but rather fell off last year.
Today I'm trolling around waiting for the ice storm to start thinking that I'd like to play with some paper and checked out her site.
The posts are now titled "Kathy King". I checked a video from December - same voice, but the arms have a tattoo that is new to me.
So -- what happened to Kathy Orta that her name changed and she gets a tattoo?
Anyone know??

I may be wrong but I think her husband died and she remarried rather quickly.

I love her work. Your post reminds me I bought a tutorial class from her. One of my resolutions is to complete all the classes I've bought. I will add this one to the list.

I bought a couple of projects from her (mini album plans) in years past, and was very successful with them. Her ideas are brilliant. Her work is amazing, although I haven't bought more than basic ideas because my style is very different and I wouldn't have use for the (beautiful) items/albums she has made.
I too fell off the bandwagon...don't know what happened to her!

I think she is brilliant and I love her ideas. I have purchased several projects by her and I always enjoyed watching the Friday night "craft and laugh" video. Then ... I don't know - my feeling was that she started a hard sell - memberships for videos, extra cost for video with project purchase, special kits clubs, then she stopped answering questions. Also I realized I just don't use the smaller size albums! I think they are fun to build - and she has great ideas for interactivity, but they just sit around!

Her new hubby seems like a really sweet guy. And I'm glad to see her smiling in the video because the holidays must be really tough on her (I believe her first husband passed away a few days after Christmas two years ago). XOXO, Gossip Girl

I am so sorry she lost her hubby. Kathy & I use to be in the same groups together. I have always been fond of her. She had the sweetest hubby. Her new husband looks like a sweetie. She is just beautiful. Love her hair. Loydene- I see you survived the ice storm.  I hope you didn't lose power or have too much damage. My home lost power for four hours. So feel very blessed it was not longer. Several in my neighborhood were out for over fourteen. I was so worried about them. I was one of the 2007 survivors of that historic ice storm. I have some damage to my poor trees but getting a lot of flood damage right now in my yard. Love MO weather. |

@amayalylac I think the most potent part of the "ice storm" for my area is actually just starting. So far it has been "surviving" a boring Saturday! But thanks for the kind thoughts. My Mother, down in Springfield, lost power for a few hours at the beginning of the weekend -- but we are all good here!

My Mother, down in Springfield, lost power for a few hours at the beginning of the weekend -- but we are all good here! We must live in the same path, I am in the Stl metro. We are waiting for the final round to hit here too. So far it hasn't been as bad for us as predicted, thank goodness! My mom lives in Springfield too! I was born and raised there! SaveSave |

Loydene & tammytutterow I am a Springfield girl too. loydene me & your Mom must be in the same area. I was only out of power for a few hours too. Hit hard on North & West side of town. South Side hardly got anything at all. tammy- I was really worried you all were going to get hit in St. Louis badly with this storm. I am glad it didn't happen. loydene- Crossing fingers for you it moved through fast and nothing big happened. Oklahoma girls & Kansas girls- Big Hugs.
