About Me


Hi There! My name is Katie and welcome to my little corner of the internet! If you've landed on this page than you are probably wondering who I am and why this blog has such a crazy name! 

First off, let me thank you for even inquiring about me because I'm not that interesting (lol). I wish I could write that I have traveled the world and am writing this from a balcony outside my cute little 60's style apartment, but I can't. The truth is, I'm a twenty-something college grad who studied business administration, lives on a small crafting budget, and is owner of The Crafty VA!

Even though studying business was nice, my true passion has always been crafting and writing. I started blogging back in 2011 to share my DIYS and to meet other creative people. At that point, I had no intention of blogging year after year. It sort-of just happen and became a nice little way to document my creative endeavors. Since then, I have grown to love blogging and more importantly love the DIY community!

If I had to describe Running with a Glue Gun, it’s a creative blog that is all about making crafting simple, fun and unique! I believe that everyone should enjoy crafting and not feel that is something they can't do. On the blog you will find all things related to crafts, blogging, and handmade business. 

So thank you for stopping by and if you want to follow along on all my crafty adventures you can subscribe to the blog via Bloglovin'. Also, you can follow along on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram!

If you have a question, suggestion, or just wanna chat, you can send me an email at this address.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you find something to make or something that brightens your day!

Happy Crafting!
