Read This Blog

I blogged about my graphic artist a few months ago. A friend from high school that I reconnected with via facebook. She redid my logo and all of my packaging and marketing material. I love her work! Anyway, my friend Amanda has started a new blog that's worth reading. It's called, "My Year of Faith". She started it because she felt called to do so after her husband was laid off. On it she blogs EVERYDAY about having faith. Her husband is going on 53 days now without work and still she blogs each day about her faith in the matter. It's inspiring, and kind of addicting too. I find myself wondering each day about their situation and reminding myself to check the blog to see if their prayers have been answered yet. She also posts other people's stories of faith. I would encourage anybody who might need some inspiration to check out this blog. You will immediately feel connected to her and her situation. And if you know of anybody hiring in Southern California for a sales job then let her know! Check out the blog

Meet Amanda

When my husband and I started Sophie Grace Maui we had nothing to lose. Literally, nothing. I, with his encouragement of course, had spent every dime we had and didn't have on material. Our home was covered in metal, gemstones, chain and wire. So when it came time to design a logo I couldn't hire anybody to help me. I just picked my favorite font on my word program and that was that. I kept that design for a really long time because I couldn't find anybody who understood what I wanted.
And then one day I signed up for facebook. What an amazing tool for a business, but that is a whole other blog. I discovered old friends of course. But what I also discovered was an old friend who had started a business of her own designing the very things that I needed. She is now my go to girl for everything I need that I can't do. She did a fabulous job with the new logo, packaging and advertising. She also does announcements and invitations of course. I think that it is so important to support other small business owners so check her out! She is super affordable and talented, my two favorite things.
