Three Mango Seeds

Do you remember when these type of signs were every where?! This style of sign kept me busy there for a bit and I was so grateful for the work.

One of my very first designs I ever shared on social media came from a custom order I did for a client. We went back and forth several times to get everything just right, and I remember being so excited to finally bring it to life.

Not long after posting it, I got my first real taste of seeing others copy my work. At first, I was honestly upset—I didn’t understand it, and I didn’t know anything about copyright, business, or protecting designs. I just knew I loved to paint. LOL.

Somewhere along the way, someone told me to see it as a compliment… and that really shifted my perspective.

Fast forward nearly 15 years, and I still see versions of that same design floating around—some almost identical, some with small twists where others have made it their own.

It’s a strange feeling looking back, but also a reminder of how far I’ve come since those early days of just creating because I loved it. ❤️

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound…”

A timeless reminder of forgiveness, hope, and the beauty of second chances. May we always be thankful for grace that carries us through every season of life. ❤️🙏
