Before I begin I would like to take a moment to thank Sheila for shining a spotlight on me today. I am happy to be featured on her blog and grateful for her friendship.
Tell the readers a little bit about you and your blog.
Hello, I’m Katherine. Tea drinker, hug giver and friend maker at Katherine’s Corner. I am an open minded and spiritual person who strives to always maintain a positive attitude and greet each new day with grace, dignity and gratitude. Originally from England and Living in the US since 1975, I have a rare dual citizenship. I am a proud citizen of both the UK and the USA. I am happily married to my best friend. I am a Mother to one (she’s 34) Grandmother to five (ages 5-15) and I am also Mama to our sweet dog Izzy. 
I invite you to get better acquainted by visiting my About Page HERE. I love to make new bloggy friends. I am a self-employed artist and designer at Keepsakes By Katherine, Be Well Gifts ,Gifts By Katherine.com and Blog Art By Katherine At Katherines Corner I share a variety of things that make me smile. You will find my blogging schedule is pretty consistent. • Monday- is Make It Monday” a day filled with features and inspiration from the previous weeks blog hop. • Tuesday- a new recipe creation is shared. • Thursday- is time for Thursday Favorite Things blog hop, Sheila is my new co hostess♥ ( it starts Wednesday night at 8 PM MST) I invite you to link up and share your blog. You will find blogs for everyone; style blogs, lifestyle blogs, recipe blogs, makeup blogs, craft blogs, faith blogs and more • Friday/Saturday/Sunday you will find new giveaways, life stories, DIY/crafts, makeovers, blogging tips, etc. What is your inspiration and why did you start blogging? 
A rejection letter from a publisher got me started blogging. It was a nice rejection though as far as rejection goes. Not your standard "fill in the blank with the authors name " although I did have a few of those. It read something like this-, “ loved your writing, the photographs are beautiful, but…we are not taking on any unknown authors at this time.” So Katherines Corner (originally known as Go Ask Katie) was born. Who said we can’t control our destiny? I am very happy my road led to blogging.I am motivated to keep blogging by my desire to share with others. Bloggy friendships are amazing! The hugs felt through comments and emails, and the bond between blog friends brings me true joy. What do you do if you get writers block as a blogger? 
All writers/bloggers have experienced this at least once. I like to describe my blogging style as reliable, comfortable, worth reading and filled with sharing spirit. It is with that in mind that I can move forward when I find myself “blocked”. Meditation and a look around at the things I enjoy. Motivates me and the stagnant fog of writers block leaves quickly. What are some tips that you can give new bloggers in this blogging community? 
I share blogging tips regularly at Katherines Corner. I have a whole blogging tips section HERE. When I first tiptoed into the blogging pool found very little being shared about how and what to do to. I found my way stumbling in the dark. So I keep the light on for bloggers new and old with my blogging tips. I do my best to keep informative and useful information updated regularly. The best thing a blogger can give to their readers is, themselves. I know that may sound cliché. But, bloggers need to be true to themselves in order to reach the readers. Not a carbon copy of other blogs. Do not, and I mean DO NOT compare your blog to another, especially a blog that has been around a while. Lastly, it’s a blog, not your life. Move away from your computer, live your life. Then sit down and share it with us. We look forward to reading about it. What's are some projects that you are working on and some of your greatest achievements so far? 
I am a planner, I’m currently setting up giveaways ( I have one very month), preparing a tutorial series for food photography, and planning new recipes to share. My greatest achievements have little to do with blogging and everything to do with life♥ But, I have achieved recognition in magazines and on websites. Those acknowledgements are proud blogging achievements. Since Modelsavings.com is A blog about saving money, What is a time that you had to save money? Living on a budget doesn’t change as you get older. It actually becomes even more important. Thinking about our future and retirement were distance thoughts when we were younger. Now we are in a constant state of savings for the future. When I was in my early twenties I had a lot of fun. Traveling (I even did some modeling) and going on plenty of adventures. Budget was always part of the equation. I admire people who have the whole couponing system down. I’m tickled if I have a savings of $5-$10 when I go to the market. But friends and others are dedicated couponers. They get their shopping done with hardly a dent in their budget. I applaud them and I also acknowledge I don’t have it in me to sort coupons for hours. But, I do admire those who kick butt at it! Where can the readers find you on social media?
