Dwayne Design is the label I used for things I’ve made over the years. Slightly ambiguous as Dwayne is a man’s name. And well, Dwayne Johnson is cool.

There were soy candles, and various sewing projects. Of course, both candle making and sewing require a lot of supplies, space and time. As you can imagine I did not have any space or time to spare in a small house filled with four children lol.

My love for photography and inspiring quotes led me to adding quotes to photos I’ve taken. Sometimes, there is a quote I love and I try to take a photo that goes with it. Other times, I just love a photo I’ve taken and search for a quote to go with it. And some photos I take just happen to inspire my random thoughts or writings.

Adding text and sometimes borders to unedited photos is kind of my take on graphic design, a creative outlet of sorts and a form of art therapy for me. Click here or Dwayne Design from the category list to view my original photo creations. I hope to inspire, bring a smile, and sometimes just make you laugh along with my quirky humor.

As clever as I thought Dwayne Design was, the time has come for me to rethink the label I use for my digital creations. I am not a Wayne! And I plan on taking my maiden name back in the divorce proceedings. That’s right, you read that correctly.

While I was abandoned physically, as in he moved out one year ago, I was abandoned in every other sense of the word long before that. My love for my children and Jehovah’s creation (especially birds) is what has gotten me through the past twelve months.
