 From  Rita
Whaley, Artist/Designer: "As a long time therapist with children
and adults, I now love painting and creating therapeutic designs to
bring hope and cheer to people who need a little extra love and caring.
I use bright and vibrant colors intentionally, knowing that they have
positive emotionally effects on children, adults and seniors.
The gifts from our
Soldiers’ Friends
Store bring
comfort and encouragement to military kids and families, who give so
much without asking, and who deserve our special thoughts and
prayers.
Sparks of Joy
Gifs can be used
for any occasion to bring cheer and warmth to the heart. We also carry
Get Well gifts for Heart and Cancer patients in this store.
Fowl
Play Gift Store
requires a sense of humor. I had great fun creating my crazy chickens,
hoping
that laughter lift up body and mind,
and bring a little irreverent fun to our sometimes serious lives.
Pillow Art
allowed me to try some abstract designs which look great on decorative
pillows to brighten up dark corners."
We give 10% of the proceeds from our stores to charitable causes.
 Bob Whaley:
Having spent my professional career
as a corporate planner, quality control and operations manager, I'm
enjoying keeping Sparks of Joy's daily operations on
track and running smoothly. What makes my job special is that everything
we do is designed to bring caring and support to so many. The
testimonials and letters of thanks from our clients remind me that our
work really makes a difference, and that sadness and discouragement can
be eased with a simple hug of caring and support.
My Blog
Heart Bypass
Buddies: After successful
Bypass Surgery a few years ago I am developing a blog for other
Heart
Bypass Buddies. I plan to share my joy of doing well, my humor to
lift everyone’s spirits, and reputable resources to help everyone
stay well, and to live life a little bit easier. |
