In early 2024, I found myself looking for a small but heartfelt way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my husband. Having just retired and becoming more intentional with finances, I began sending him one small online gif/gift each day starting February 14th.

What began as a simple gesture soon sparked something unexpected.

A friend had previously mentioned that I could create my own images — so I tried.

My very first design was a heart-shaped chocolate sandwich cookie rising from a coffee cup.

That playful little image lit a spark in me, and from that moment on, creating became a daily joy rather than a passing project.

This journey wasn’t entirely new. Years ago, I worked as a freelance portrait photographer, and I’ve always loved working with light, composition, and meaningful detail.

Today, I carry that same passion into digital art, blending creativity with a sense of wonder and discovery.

My husband often tells me, “Every day is Valentine’s Day with you, baby.”

That phrase lives close in our hearts, which is why you’ll see hearts appearing again and again in my creations. They represent our love and our faith.

Each Scatter Joyfulness “greeting gift” is designed to reflect a small piece of God’s love — gently scattered into the world as love, joy, peace, kindness and so much more.

What began as a whimsical Valentine’s surprise has grown into Scatter Joyfulness Greetings™

Whether you’re sending a quick hello, a note of love, or a moment of joy, my hope is that each card brings a smile — to both the sender and the receiver.
