Who is Chris Shea?
She is Lifesighs. She does all the writing and drawing and considers each product a child. She has 3 real adult children and 6 real grandchildren and she lives in Southern CA with her dog Ben. She’s relatable, inspirational and accessible. Don’t be surprised when you call... she often picks up the phone.

Why Lifesighs?
Who better to answer this question than the creator of Lifesighs, Chris Shea?
“I began by calling my cards Lifesighs because that's what I think life does. Sigh. Originally I conceived the name Lifesighs for a newspaper column I wrote, but the editor didn't care for the name. He used Chris Shea instead. So I wrote the word on a piece of paper and vowed someday I would use it! I still have the slip of paper under glass on my desk.” ~ Chris Shea

Where can I find your products?
You have many options. First we encourage you to seek out a retailer near you. You can find one (we hope) by using the Store Locator here on our site. If you can’t find a local retailer in your area, you are welcome to order through us from this site. You’ll notice some of the products we list direct you to our current partners if we don’t have a particular item in stock.

Will Chris sign or personalize my purchase?
She will be happy to personalize a purchase for you. It might slow down the shipping process by a day or two, but she would be honored to do so for anyone who is interested. During the checkout process you’ll see a field that gives you the opportunity to send us a note along with your order. We’ll do our best to accommodate you.

How can I reach you?
You’re welcome to contact us by phone at 800.747.6026 or through our Contact Us page.

May I return my purchase?
If for some reason you're not completely satisfied with your non-personalized order, you may return it within two weeks of receipt. Simply send us a note through our Contact Us page and we'll send you an email with the authorization code for the return. Include a copy of our email to you in the return shipment, write the code on the outside of the package, and you're all set. We hope you understand shipping charges you incur are non-refundable.

Does Chris do custom work?
We will consider doing custom work if the project inspires our creativity and is a match for our sensibilities. The best way to approach us for custom work is give a call, or send a note to us through our Contact Us page.

Why do you name the cards the way you do?
Every card we produce is either person or event driven. Some are self-explanatory, like VENT which thanks a friend for letting you “vent”, and others are initials of people in my life, such as friends, family; people who have touched my life. I figure anyone can use numbers, but I like that we know a card merely by a customer mentioning the name. So when someone says to us, "I'd like card number S-NITE," we know it's the card with the pink band aid on it.
