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,

your card line in our store! when we came across your card line we felt that they were some of the
best written cards we had come across and our hunch served us right! Now five years later, we
continue to have customers bring in new people just to show them Bonair daydreams cards. we have
customers who only shop for your cards when they visit us. did I mention that we are a 14,000 square
foot retail store? You are guaranteed to hear chuckles, bursts of laughter and sometimes a few tears
about once a week from customers who are browsing through our selection of your cards. we also
have numerous customers who vacation here, and on their annual visits make it a priority to stop by
white harvest and stock up on their entire year’s worth of cards with Bonair! I love seeing the
customer approach the register with about 30 – 50 of your cards and hearing them say, “well, I don’t
know who, when or where I’ll be giving all of these cards away but they are just too good to pass up!
I love these cards!”

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.”

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

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.
