About

Hi! My name is Alise. I am an Army Veteran. I am a mother of two amazing children. I am also a wife of an incredibly supportive, and patient man. I am an avid supporter of community service and environmental awareness. I am passionate about all things family, health, community, and environment. Oh yeah! and I love to craft and create ALL OF THE STUFF AND THINGS!

So What?

All of the above matters because...that is exactly how our wonderful little business venture came about. I have lived in the Valley aka The Mother Load all my life. One thing I have noticed being a consistent issue is the lack of suitable indoor family friendly AND cost effective places to visit. Lets face it...California gets way too hot! No one wants to be out in the heat every single day. Nor do they want to be out in the rain and cold during the winter months. Now as I said, my husband and I have two beautiful children. We are always trying to find something new and fun to do with them. That has served to be an extreme challenge for us. At least within a reasonable driving distance. We have seen a few businesses come and go. Nothing seems to stick around. That or it just doesn't fit our entire family dynamic. Our son is eight and our daughter is two. BIG age gap in figuring out their entertainment levels. 

Soooo....

We thought....

Why not create a place?

We can't be the only family running into this issue right?

All of that brings us to the birth of Stuff And Things Art Studio.

I began networking like crazy! Within weeks we had our business page going on Facebook. We had a decent amount of followers. We had already hosted multiple, successful community service clean up and crafting events. We even got an amazing invite to one of local town community events. All of the people we have met and began working with really have helped us out a lot. It proved to us even more that we were on the right track. Now we are here....

We have found our little shop space to make our own. It has been rough at times, but so very worth it. We really look forward to serving our community. We hope that you all enjoy what we have to offer.

 We want to provide an environmentally conscious, family friendly, safe place for all to enjoy. This is something that we are really looking forward to being able to provide.

**What a wonderful idea! My 5 yr old Granddaughter loved this event and can't stop talking about where to place her rock!

-Debbie, Oakdale National Night Out 2018

**Check out our friends at Stuff and Things Art Studio! They have some great ideas and plans to match. Stuff and Things Art Studio is like minded when it comes to litter, but they go above and beyond by reclaiming and repurposing some found items by turning "trash" into works of art!
How can that be cooler?
