Well our dream began around August of  1998.  I (Mickey Jo) had just went to my very first Rubber Stamping Party and was addicted immediately.  I filled out my order which came to $150.  Thank goodness the Demonstrator told me I should place a smaller order and host a party of my own so that I might get lots of free stamps.  So I did and ended up a month later owning about $300 worth of supplies.  

Hubby was active duty Air Force and we had about 4 1/2 years to go until he would retire.  Well I told him I wanted so badly to have my very own Rubber Stamp Business. He said well let's wait until we retire, and figure out where we would be settling down.  

Well this was a long time coming Dream.   And with very little twisting of his arm, I managed to talk hubby (Ralph) into letting me start the business via the internet one year prior to our soon to be retirement.

So in August of 2000, around the middle of the month we began putting my dream into reality.   Presenting "Mouse Connections"© from our house to yours.  Time to get started and have some fun.  

Mouse Connections© is a family ran and owned business, which started out in beautiful hot and humid Georgia.  The whole family likes to draw, so we wanted to share our drawings with all of you.   Our first Catalog we put together 5 Aug of the year 2000.  Starting out with our first 3 Plates of stamp images.

We retired in August of 2001, and bought land and a house in Middle Tennessee.  Beautiful and so peaceful there.

3 more additions.  In 2009 My hubby took over the business.  I do help him when I am able and not in to much pain.  And I love every minute of it.

In 2013 we sold our country home as we no longer had horses and 9 acres was just to much for 2 people growing older to take care of.  So we bought a beautiful home on the out side edge of the city and have been happier hear that anywhere we have been.  The neighborhood is pretty peaceful, but we don't get the awesome vision of the stars above.  Nor can we go outside and shout to hear our echo. (neighbors would call me the crazy lady.  LOL)  Below is a pic of our new home.   We also changed to a new website and changed our store name to Creative Crafts and Supplies.
 

As of today the 29th of June 2014 we had to once again change sites, and names.  I hate hate hate changing our store name.  But the new site would only give us so many letter spaces so we went from Creative Cratfs and Supplies to Creative Crafts n Supplyz
