About Me

I am a born and raised Arizona Desert Rat.

I am currently retired, but due to some unexpected life changes I am in the process of trying to get back into the working world. It’s been interesting that’s for sure.

I have a married daughter and a son as well as two sweet rescue mutts. I like to crochet, cross stitch, play with watercolor paint, draw, color, read, camp, spend time with my pups and family and generally be lazy.

I grew up with a mom who was always up to something crafty and encouraged me to explore the realm of creativity. I am curious by nature and learning something new has always been a big thing with me so when a friend introduced me to rubber stamping and paper crafts so many many moons ago, I fell into the rabbit hole and never crawled out!

I am the former Owner/Editor of Through the Craft Room Door Craft Magazine. I moved the blog challenge on to someone else and stopped producing the magazine in September 2019 to handle health issues with my own mom whom I lost in 2020.

Currently I am an Admin for The Outlawz Challenges as well as the Team Lead for the No Stamp Challenge. I am also a colorist for Sherry West Art which is on break right now. So, I keep pretty busy these days.

On a more general note, the cards I make are usually 5 x 7 with some exceptions or if I am making sets, in which case they are 4.25 x 5.50. I have done some scrapbooking but this is not my main focus for paper crafting.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you have found something to inspire you to create or try something new!
