My little helpers are ready for their new home! 🐝🐸🦉💕

A few handmade signs to add some extra whimsy to my Maker’s Market display!

Because even the signs deserve a little personality! 🎨✨

And remember, if you can dream it, we can create something inspired by it! 💕

A little birthday magic for Miss Paris! 💕🎂✨

Turning SEVEN deserves something extra special, don’t you think? 🎶🪩

This custom birthday card was such a fun one to create! A little music, a little sparkle, some dancing shoes, and a whole lot of personality!

Every card I create is individually hand-drawn and hand-coloured, making each one as unique as the person receiving it. 💗

Thank you for letting me bring a little whimsy to Paris’s special day! 🐝

✨ Custom orders are always welcome!

Since I carve REAL pumpkins … no fake ones over here 😂 … I usually have to wait until about a week before Halloween to start carving the new crew.

So until then, here are some throwbacks to a few of my favourite pumpkins from years past. 🎃✨

Enjoy the pumpkin nostalgia… and stay tuned to see how many pumpkins I end up carving this year … and what ridiculous things I decide to carve into them for 2026. 😂🔪🎃

Thanks a bunch 🖤

There are some people who are simply woven into who you are… and for me, that will always be my sister.

Six and a half years before me, you came into this world, and from the moment I came into yours, you’ve been there. My cheerleader. My calm. My constant.

Life changes. We grow up, we get busy, and sometimes we don’t see each other as much as we want. But none of that changes what you mean to me. You are part of my story, part of who I am, and forever a part of my heart.

When I look back at these old pictures of us, I don’t just see two sisters growing up. I see someone who has been there from my very beginning. Someone I have always known I could count on. Someone I will love for the rest of my life.

You’re my Mana. My forever person. And no matter where life takes us, there will always be a piece of me that belongs right beside you.

Happy happiest birthday Mana ❤️

I love you more than I probably say, more than I sometimes know how to show, and more than you will ever know.

Here’s to you, today and always. ❤️ by @thoughtsofwhimsy

… our bedtime tradition …

Before bed, we talk about our day… the good, the bad, what made us happy, what bothered us, and something we might want to change or do better tomorrow.

We’ve done this for as long as I can remember, and even now, these little talks with my kiddo are still some of my favourite moments.

Just him and me, talking about life. 💙 And somehow, no matter what kind of day we’ve had, these conversations always leave my heart a little fuller…

Pecans were served. Shoulder privileges were granted.
She seems quite pleased with the arrangement. 🥜🖤
