H E L L O,
Tony + Shayna here. We are husband and wife. BESTEST FRIENDS. Dance partners. Creative entrepreneurs. Christ followers. We introduced The Standard Canvas to the world July of 2013 and quickly fell into the niche market of custom wedding vow art. Our customers have been nothing short of amazing and it has been a JOY to create special pieces for their walls. |

written from Shayna's perspective
We love when people ask, "How did you two meet?" And we love telling our story!
Yes, my dad really did pick him out for me. When I was a senior in high school my family started attending a new church {the place we met}. At 18 years old, I was part of the teen Sunday School class. Tony was 20 years old and in the adult Sunday School class ... with my parents {that's where the operation began}. After a few months of getting to know him, my dad went up to Tony on a Wednesday night and matter-of-factly told him, "You have permission to date my daughter." Tony had never inquired and there had not been a conversation with me. Haha. The following night, my dad called Tony at his workplace and invited him to our house for dinner. The invite was accepted and dad came home and announced to the family, "Tony will be here in an hour for dinner." I questioned why and dad responded "I really like him." That evening, my whole family + Tony sat around the table for dinner and afterwards we played games {that's when sparks began to fly}.
The following Sunday, my family became members of that church. As we were standing at the front, being welcomed by everyone, Tony shakes my hand and asks, "Would you like to go out to lunch with me?" I shyly responded, "I will need to ask my parents." My parents excitedly said "Yes." So Tony picked me up in his little white '95 pickup truck and we went out to lunch. We talked the entire time and at the end we both said, "It feels like I've known you forever." We were instantly bestest friends! And that was the start of Tony & Shayna. ♡
Now for the KICKER. :) About two years go by and Tony was telling the story of how we met and he included a detail I had never heard. On that Sunday, my dad had went up to Tony in the morning, shook his hand, handed him $20, and said, "This is to take Shayna out to lunch." Haha. =) {And that's how it happened}.
I absolutely love everything about my Tony. He treasures Jesus and loves me dearly. He leads, provides, cares, and protects me. He makes me laugh like no one else and dances silly with me around the house. He is truly my bestest friend whom I can talk to about anything and everything. And I of course love his big red beard (think Yukon Cornelious from Rudolph).

We are entrepreneurs at heart and have enjoyed watching our little ideas grow and even flourish over the past few years. For so long, we dreamed of starting our own businesses, and by God’s grace, it is now a reality. We love being our own boss and having the flexibility to direct our company as we see fit. We love the process of bringing people’s ideas to life. The thrill of happy customers. Being able to whistle while we work, play music as loud as we’d like, take dance breaks, and even respond to emails in our pajamas. It’s pretty awesome!
Do you desire to start your own business? Don’t stop trying. Seriously, if you have the desire to start your own business…don’t give up. We started a number of little businesses that failed. We just kept plugging away and now we have 3 successful businesses. A couple books that really inspired / motivated us are The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris and The Search for God & Guinness by Stephen Mansfield. Definitely must-reads in our “book.” And for all the podcast lovers out there, one of our favorites is Entrepreneurs on Fire (EO Fire John Lee Dumas).
We are also the faces behind Yukons Beard and ShaynaMade.

Yukons Beard has the BEST beard oil, hands down. Tony blends cold pressed carrier oils and pure essential oils to perfection. Yukons Beard oil makes a beard shine, soothes dry itchy skin, prevents beard-druff, softens hair, encourages growth, and makes you smell amazing! We also recently added beard balm to the shop. www.YukonsBeard.com
