hello + welcome.
I’m Tonya and welcome to the Reconnecting Rainbows Blog!
I have a big audacious vision of creating a collection of unique, colorful, artsy, and creative products specifically for the Christian community.
Countless times I’ve been looking for something for myself or to give as a gift only to find I liked the design but not the message or I’d love the message but not the design. I want to solve that problem by designing products that are beautiful + modern + creative with messages that are deeply connected to God’s truth.
On this blog I’ll be posting about the process of starting the business and whatever the Lord puts on my heart to share from my Bible Study time.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I encourage you to bookmark this site and join my email list to be notified when the shop opens.
Thank you so much for stopping by!


Write the Vision…
My vision for Reconnecting Rainbows is a company the designs and sells unique Christian gift merchandise across all categories – apparel, accessories, home goods, etc. I’ll be designing products in collections based on themes, and I’ll release them throughout the year. Starting off RR products will only be available online but the plan is to open our own retail stores in the future. After 5 years, I would like RR to have stores across the USA.
Available now in my shop…
Biblical Perspectives on Creativity…

We serve a creative God. The very first verse of the Bible introduces God to us by telling us, “In the beginning God CREATED the heavens and the earth” – Genesis 1:1. Later on during the establishing of the Tabernacle, God tells Moses who to assign to the task of creating the articles for it:
“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of god, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship. And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commended you.” – Exodus 31:1-6 NKJV.
All of my creative ability is on loan to me from the Lord. My ability to have ideas about things and to develop the skills to be able to design it and create it, they all come from Him giving me the talent to do it. For these gifts I am humbled, grateful, and thankful. Creating things has been one of the great joys of my life. It’s only right that I honor the Lord with what He’s given me.
