THE STORY BEHIND BONAIR DAYDREAMS

I grew up in a small Pennsylvania town on

Bonair Drive. Bonair Daydreams symbolizes

the inspiration and joy I lived as a child. My

hope is that my cards and memories bring you a

touch of joy as well.

Bonair Daydreams, my inspirational greeting

card line, combines black and white photography

and inspirational quotations. I have been told that

my cards evoke warm feelings and capture

special moments in time. The images are intimate, human, and

fragile. I photograph everyday people and everyday moments and

I try to make the ordinary extraordinary.

Bonair Daydreams was created in 1993. I spent years pondering

the idea of starting a card line combining my photos and my

collection of favorite quotes, but it took a deep tragedy to inspire

action: My sister, Tracy, passed

away after a long struggle with

cancer. We were soul mates and

her death was an incredible loss to

me.

I designed a Thank You card for

those who had attended the

funeral using a photo I had taken

of Tracy years before. It was a

silhouette of her dancing on a

rooftop in San Francisco. This had

been my mother's favorite picture

of Tracy - it captured her essence,

her love of life. Under the photo, I hand wrote Ecclesiastes 3:4

from the Bible: "A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to

mourn and a time to dance." The response of friends and family

touched by that card was so overwhelming that I felt led to start

an official card line.

I borrowed money through my credit cards and started with one

small gift pack. After showing that to a few big card

representatives at the Los Angeles Gift Mart, I decided to expand

the line to 3 gift packs and 32 counter cards. Soon I was hiring

reps across the country and within one or two years, had one

covering almost every state.

My second year in business, I won my first LOUIE AWARD from

The Greeting Card Association. I was asked to fly to New York

City where the National Stationery Show was being held to accept

it. My first child, Annie, was only 7 months old and still nursing

so I took Annie and my Mom along for an incredible adventure

in the Big Apple.

The business grew steadily: I was designing 10 to 12 new cards a

year to satisfy my reps and customers

and stay competitive with the big

companies. In 1999, my second

daughter Lily was born, and I realized

that I needed help filling card orders that

were now coming in on a daily basis. I

was grateful that my cards were doing

so well and felt blessed to be able to stay

home with my young children.

To date, I have won 7 LOUIE AWARDS at The National

Stationery Show in NYC and 18 of my designs have been selected

as finalists from thousands of entries. A few years ago, I signed

on with a licensing agent facilitating the placement of my images

on bookmarks, framed art, music boxes, calendars and more.

I am grateful that I have my business to pay the bills. I wake up

every day thanking God for the gifts He has bestowed on me. The

wonderful inspiring notes and emails that I receive from people

who are touched by my cards keep me going.

My work has been an exciting and spiritual journey. I feel in my

heart that I am doing the work God intended me to do, and

somehow I know Tracy is a part of it all. It is no coincidence that

her card has been my best seller all these years. Who says there's

no such thing as a guardian

angel?

My beautiful golden retriever

Shanna passed away this year.

She has been on the cover of so

many of my cards, and in

dedication to her amazing life,

I created card #406 to express

the love I shared with this

extraordinary dog!

LOUIE FINALIST

hanks again for your wisdom and photography. Geez, such a fantastic idea and product,

not to mention your story and bio, etc. It all works so well. As for the joy of your beautiful

cards, I had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of a handwritten card recently: ‘Tracy;

San Francisco rooftop’ (105B, C, F). The photo and cover words just blew me away. From

there, I found you on the internet and then put my order together. I'm sure the lucky receivers

of my sending will do the same. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. You've got a real keeper

and I hope many others find you as I did—I think you have one of the most creative, heartfelt

businesses around. In the mean time, expect me to stock up for future expressions you have

that give me goose pimples at times, and I know that the person I send it to will feel the same.

I hope some day someone VERY IMPORTANT receives one and suggests you start a franchise

of stores, and bankrolls the project. I think I've made my point.”

Sincerely,

hadn't noticed that from the website, so it was like an extra beautiful surprise! Your

warmth and scope of your heart shine through every detail of what you do!

I am ever so grateful we have connected and very appreciative we can stay in touch this

et me just say first that I lOVE your cards. The photography is stunning and the

words you find to match your images are wonderful.

I first saw your cards at a small gift shop in Shipshewana, Indiana and bought one there

for a friend, who later ordered some from you and then she sent me one back. It also just

so happened that when I went through my grandmother's card collection after she passed

away that there was a box of your cards, which I then inherited. Your work is truly a

ministry.”

ne of my best friends gave me your card with the Mother Teresa quote (260T) several years

ago. I've had it sitting in my bathroom leaning against the mirror and I see it every day. But over

time its gotten toothpaste and what not on it and looks sorta rough. I've hung onto it because it

is honestly the sweetest card I've ever received. I'm a huge Mother Teresa fan and my friend

Becky who gave me your card knew that. She had walked with me through my first husband's

death of brain cancer and has had huge heartache of her own . . . so . . . something about your

card touched a place in us both, maybe because really Mother Teresa understood sorrow and joy.”

e feel grateful and proud to share Chrissy’s inspirational cards with our customers.

Since finding them several years ago on a trip, they have been a perfect fit for our

Southwest -inspired shop. My husband, doug, and I love to share the ‘Story Behind Bonair

daydreams’ with customers who are moved by the thoughtful quotes and sentiments, and

the unique photographs. Bonair daydreams cards are truly extraordinary as proven by

all the louie Awards over the years!

Congratulations Chrissy, and thank you so much for your beautiful contribution to us who

love quality inspirational cards. It has been a pleasure!”

hrissy:

First I absolutely lOVE your card line.

They are just beautiful. They show up

and I often do not want to give them

to anyone but rather want to frame

and post in my office. It's a moral

dilemma that has a 50/50 outcome.”

For many years, the winners of the AnnuAl InternAtIonAl

GreetInG CArd Awards are announced during the National

Stationery Show in New York City. Considered by many in the

industry to be the equivalent of "Oscar" night, the LOUIE Awards are presented in

over 50 categories drawing more than 900 entries from over 160 U.S. and

International publishing companies.

The awards are named after German lithographer Louis Prang who is credited with

the birth of the card industry in the United States in 1875. The Louie Award was

established over two decades ago to acknowledge creative excellence in the greeting

card industry. The judges individually review and carefully score each card

submitted on a 1-10 point scale based on the competition's established criteria:

Imagination, Impact, Artistry, Harmony, Sensibility, and Value.

Since starting Bonair Daydreams, Chrissy has competed and won in this

competition increasing the popularity of her cardline. Because of the feelings that

each of her cards reflect, everyday life combined with inspirational quotes, her work

provokes an emotional response. Chrissy is continuously creating new designs that

reflect her own life experiences and truth. Her hope is that through her own personal

memories and moments, people can sincerely relate and be touched along the way.
