About

Thanks so much for visiting by my blog!!!

If you're new here, let me tell you a little about myself, and what you will find here at This & That.  

I am a wife and mother of two & pet lover (of 3 cats and 1 doggie).  I work as an office manager and do medical billing.  I live in Phoenix, AZ and seriously LOVE the Dry Heat!!  I have enjoyed doing craft projects since I was young, and have always LOVED looking at photographs.  I also enjoy scrapbooking and you can usually find me with my camera in hand.  I also enjoy cooking (and eating) and organizing (I am a little OCD, LOL!!).

In 2004 I was introduced to stamping and card making, and a new hobby was born.  I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and held workshops and stamping classes, but since I was my BEST and some months my only customer, LOL!!  I let my demonstrator status run out and was introduced to many other stamp lines that I loved.  

In 2007 I decided to start a blog as a creative outlet, as well as a way to  keep in touch with my family who live on the east coast.   I never imagined how much I would enjoy my little blog and the many friends I have met here. When I started out blogging in 2007 I pretty much kept the subject to stamping and paper crafting, but over the years I have found some new things that also bring me joy, such as photography, organizing, cooking/baking, DIY, home decor, and I sure more things to follow.  I hope you enjoy reading my blog and maybe even find an idea or two!

and some random stuff about me...
I start my day with Starbucks French Roast coffee~YUM!!
I LOVE to vacuum~that is the OCD showing!

I LOVE to theme birthday parties for my family (even though they are adults).
I stay up too late & wish there were more hours in my day!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
