Welcome to Aspiring to Live Blessed & Overcome with Excellence! I’m Dianna, wife, mom, graphic designer, avid reader, writer, and amateur photographer.
I hope that you enjoy your time here. Maybe you’ll find some fun books to read or even some cool things to buy.
Let me take a moment to introduce myself and share a little of my story. I am married to my best friend, Andy for 27+ years. We have 3 adult daughters and a house full of pets.
We have two dogs. Ben our beagle/coonhound, and Ori our lab/retriever/aussie/heeler. We also have a hedgehog named Pippin, he is an African Pygmy. And of course I can’t forget to mention Sunburst (a lionhead bunny) who passed away in 2022. He has left a little bunny sized hole in our hearts.
We currently live in East Tennessee, home to the Smoky Mountains, Dolly Parton and of course Vols football. It is a beautiful place to be and I have fallen in love with the mountains.
My family and I are very involved in our church. Ministry is in our blood. We are strong advocates for homeschooling, patriotism and our faith. My family are all very artistic and just a little bit geeky. We love music, art, Star Wars, Renaissance Faires and all kinds of fun geeky things. I have a personal passion for reading. You can see this from the amount of book reviews. I am also passionate about history. The Mystery of History is AWESOME and my favorite history curriculum. But beyond all that we are a close family. I’m a retired homeschool mom the last of my students graduated in Spring of 2023.
In December of 2023 I graduated from Pellissippi State Community College with a degree in Design for Web and Print (graphic design). I’ve been working in the graphic design field since February of 2023. This is only one of the degrees I hold. I design personal stationery, wedding invitation suites, and so many other things.
My love for my faith, history and homeschooling has given me a passion to create products that are helpful and educational. I hope these products help people grow in their faith and encourages people to learn more.
As a little side-gig I design fun little items like stickers, tee-shirts, etc. You can find those things in my Redbubble store.
Feel free to connect with me on my social media, I love making new friends. Or, you can leave comments on my posts. I try to respond to every comment that is left. I hope you have enjoyed reading some of my story as I share a little bit of everything with you. Hope to see you again soon.
