Back in 2007 I, like many artists, was struggling to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I was frustrated with my future plans and questioned if I should pursue design or not. My husband (then boyfriend) said “Just do what makes you happy, like deep down happy.” That really got me thinking. A couple years later, with just a sketchbook and my brain, I started to design what came from my heart. And what makes me DEEP DOWN HAPPY. I discovered Etsy through a friend, loved it, and decided that I wanted a shop to sell and share greeting cards and stationery items.

This shop is my way to get my passion and creativity into the world and hopefully bring a few smiles to people’s lives. I know it’s not much but it’s what I like to do and what I hope to pursue. I’m still learning and growing through this process and I’m happy with what has begun. With each sell, I get excited and inspired all over again, knowing that my designs make a difference to someone.

I thank the Lord for watching over me and helping me to do this. Nothing would be possible without his guidance.

Raise your hand if you LOVE getting mail? And I’m not talking electronic. I’m talking the good old fashioned snail mail. Cards are SO fun to send and receive, and I’m so excited to tell you about Deep Down Happy! Diana sent me a few of her AWESOME handmade greeting cards. I am in LOVE.

They are seriously gorgeous. I love the card for a new baby- “Fearfully and Wonderfully Made”. So sweet. The print are fantastic, and I can’t wait to to send them off to family and friends! Be sure to check out her shop, you won’t regret it! She has customizable stationary that is fantastic. And they would make great holiday gifts!
