Finding Joy Again: The Story Behind the Berry Blessed Collection
At the very beginning of summer, I started sketching and designing what would become the Berry Blessed Collection. I hoped to have it ready for you before the season ended—a sweet and faith-filled celebration of blessings to carry into long sunny days.
But life had other plans.
Countless challenges popped up—unexpected hurdles, heavy moments, and distractions that made me question whether I should even finish. There were times I thought about setting the collection aside altogether. It felt too late, too hard, too far from the vision I had in mind.
Yet, in those quiet, discouraging moments, God kept whispering reminders to my heart:
👉 Even if the release wasn’t “on time,” it was still worth sharing.
👉 Even if the path was harder than I hoped, I was still blessed.
👉 And most of all—this gift of creating art was something I should never give up on.
🌿 A Collection Rooted in Gratitude
So I picked up my pen again. Piece by piece, this collection came together—not perfectly, not on the timeline I had planned, but exactly when it was meant to. Each strawberry illustration and each encouraging word became a personal reminder that blessings don’t depend on circumstances or calendars.
“Berry Blessed” became not just a design, but a testimony: that even when life feels delayed, joy still finds its way back in.
✨ What You’ll Find in the Berry Blessed Collection
- 16oz Glass Can – For coffee mornings or iced tea afternoons, a sweet reminder that blessings are poured out daily.
- Custom Notebooks – A place to capture prayers, gratitude lists, and reflections from every season.
- Canvas Sneakers – A playful, faith-filled way to walk through both challenges and celebrations.
- Art Prints & More – Gentle daily reminders of gratitude, joy, and God’s faithfulness.
🎁 Why It Matters
This collection almost didn’t happen—but I’m so grateful it did. It’s a reminder to me (and I hope to you) that we are blessed, not because everything goes as planned, but because God is faithful through it all. I’m thankful for the gift of art, and even more thankful that I get to share it with you.
