Every day I am grateful for what and who I have in my life but some days I am extra thankful for how my life has turned out. Although I’ve been through a lot, I found a way to create my own happiness out of it all. Things may not be perfect or 100% how I’d like it but is it ever? I’m just grateful I am here, able to do what I love and be surrounded by family and friends. You have to always move forward and never stop working for what you want. Support your dreams with actual goals and make it happen, no matter what.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year! Reflecting on these past 12 months I feel so lucky to be living this life. 2017 was the best year for Gray Star Design and I look forward to see what’s to come.

The most this year taught me was to take self care more seriously and to focus on my individual happiness. The health issues I’ve faced this year were all related to stress and I am done with feeling out of control. So I am heading into the new year with a new outlook and a calm mind in hopes to live each day with intention, peace, and grace.

With my husband and son by my side and my little loves, Olive and Jenny, I am ready to move forward with my head high and heart full. Sending you all well wishes for 2018. Cheers!

2014 review, accomplishments, gray star design, new year, success

This year has been a good one for sure. Although I had to deal with a few hardships, all great things brought Gray Star Design to new heights. Here is a short review of the things I am proud of accomplishing for the business. Looking forward to so much more for the future! My goals for 2015 are to work on my stationery line and get ready to do wholesale and to start seriously advertising. See you next year!

1. I am so excited and happy to have been Minted this year! I have had over a handful of wins in both art prints and stationery and feel so lucky to be a part of the Minted community. You can visit my shop here.

2. You can also find some of my designs on Envelopes.com! I was contacted to contribute to their growing collection and its a great opportunity to be included.

3. I was featured on the UK store Terry’s Blinds blog, Designer Insights, which is pretty rad. It’s nice to have the business mentioned overseas, for sure!

4. I teamed up with Atlanta photographer Linda Kovtoun for two beautiful inspiration shoots which featured my invitation designs. I am so grateful for this opportunity and happy to have met such a talented artist. Looking forward to many more shoots!

5. I’ve also designed a nice collection of holiday cards that I look forward to adding to in the years to come. There is surely enough options for everyone!

6. Paper goods I designed for a Martha’s Vineyard wedding was featured in Well Wed magazine! This really made me happy, as they are one of the top wedding mags in the country. So exciting!! You can read all about it here. I look forward to being featured some more this coming year.
