A Giveaway and Gratitude for YOU

This is my last post of 2023 and I’m ending the year with a celebration!

I’m so grateful to you for supporting my little business.

Whether you’re a customer, student, blog reader or Joy Letter subscriber (or all of the above!), that you spend time with me here — virtually — in my studio and garden means a lot to me.

Thank you for being here. For your encouragement and your support.

To celebrate, I’m giving away some of my new sunflower stickers!

Making stickers with my art* has been on my to-do list for a while and I finally tested it out this fall. I love how these stickers turned out and can’t wait to make more (look for them next year!).

Until then, I’m tucking these sunflowers into my customers’ packages, but I also want to gift some to my blog readers!

Just leave a comment below. Tell me what blog posts you most enjoyed this year. Or what you’d like to see more of on my blog next year. (Or really, leave a comment about anything you’d like!). Then on the 15th, I’ll choose five winners.

Thank you to everyone who commented and sent me emails. Your encouragement and support means so much to me. I used a random number generator to choose 5 winners. They are:

  1. Julia (via email)

  2. Aleta

  3. Ginny T.

  4. Avril

  5. Karen Houlding

Thanks so much for being here, sweet friend. I’m looking forward to sharing more joy, flowers and art with you in 2024!


I’ve created seven more garden-inspired designs to add to the sunflowers. You can find them here.




*While dreaming about making stickers, I took Taylor Carroll’s class on Skillshare. In her class she mentioned a few different sticker manufacturers and I ordered samples.

I’d highly recommend both Taylor’s class and ordering samples from companies before deciding which one to use. Many companies, whether they make stickers or other products, offer samples for free or for a minimal shipping cost.

If you end up making stickers, I’d love to see them!
