Small Business Saturday! Today is a reminder that we should shop small and support local businesses. It means the world to me and so many other self employed artists and designers that people like you support what we do. To show my love and thanks for all my awesome customers and clients, I am having my last sale of the year! From now till December 2nd, you can get 15% off all custom holiday card orders. No code needed. You will get the discount on the listing when you make your purchase (which pays for the digital proof), as well as an additional 15% off the full order (25 minimum). If you haven’t taken care of your cards yet, this is a great time to do it!

You can view the 2017 collection and more at bit.ly/graystardesignholiday. Happy shopping!

I have officially launched my holiday collection and I am so in love with all the designs. I focused on patterns and bold type this year. There is a little something for everyone. And of course you can still shop the previous collection in my shop. I will be having only one sale this month so you won’t want to miss it, but you can get the scoop before everyone else if you sign up for my newsletter here.

Target recently launched their newest line of items and boy are they winners. Project 62 are modern pieces for everyday living, which sounds good to me. With all categories covered there is something for everyone and they are very fairly prices as well. I checked this new brand out and looked over everything from lighting and home decor to rugs and furniture and wanted to share my top picks from the project. You can learn more and purchase each one by clicking on the image. Enjoy!!

Happy International Women’s Day! Today I stand with all women and pledge my belief in equal rights and justice for us all. Some don’t realize the true value women have in this society and its about time they do. We are, if anything, leaders and warriors. We must fight the good fight because no one else will do it for us. I hope to see many taking this day to prove how important we really are, as well as support the many who face discrimination and social oppression in this country and beyond. Unity is what drives us and equality is what we all deserve.

Since I am self employed I will be home with my son doing my most important job. And I am proud to be my own boss and work predominately with female clients to help beautify and strengthen their brand and business. I will show my support for the cause by sharing my message with my followers and engage in other conversations to spread it even more. We must stay united and be strong to help make this world a better place to live in. Today and all days!

There is no better time than now to support the cause that fuels #adaywithoutwomen. My Love Always Wins print is only $10 and you get a black and white and watercolor version. You can find it in the shop at bit.ly/lovewinsprint for immediate download.

I am happy to do my part and donate all sales of this item to Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union. I truly believe love conquers all and with us all uniting we can really change the world.
