Smile Songs started with a request from one of my live music fans. "If only we could take you home and put you on the wall so we could hear your songs and see the happiness you create every day!" It was a life-changing moment. I tapped everything I'd learned as a voice-talent, nationally presented performer, style journalist and creative services pro to create my first collection of musical greeting cards, which sang my handcrafted happy jingles for real life from cute QR code on the art. (Ask me about the folks who said folks in the US would never use QR codes, lol.)
The response to Smile Songs was so positive, I expanded my line to include singing stickers, magnets, journals, notepads and more.
Next? My first national trade show. The result? Best New Product, based on buyer response.
Smile Songs really do make folks smile and jump for joy. Perfect for the young and young at heart, they help folks celebrate big moments and every step along the way.
