Québec, Small City Big Christmas Energy 🇨🇦

There’s something about Québec City at this time of year that feels straight out of a storybook. The cold air, the snow-covered rooftops, the warm lights glowing in every corner of the old streets, it’s exactly what “white Christmas” looks like in my mind.

The whole place gives off this incredible Christmas energy that feels both magical and comforting, like stepping into a winter postcard.

I first visited in 2019 and instantly fell in love with the charm of this “old European town” vibe in the middle of Canada. Ever since, I’ve wanted to go back every single year, even when life made it impossible.

But this year… I’m really hoping I get to return, wander those snowy streets again, and soak in that festive magic I’ve missed so much.

I honestly can’t wait. ❄️

If you’ve never experienced Québec City in winter, put it on your list — it’s pure holiday wonder.

✨ First order vs. 400th order ✨

Same chair, same excitement… 400th time better!

Thank you for resonating with my designs and stickers 🦝🦝🦝

It’s such a joy to create something from scratch and know it connects with people who get the little quirks and details I pour into everything.

I made these 14 handmade gift tags back in 2022.

Shiny, crafty, full of Canadian charm. I spent weeks creating them and loved every one of them. They never really sold, maybe because I didn’t show them well, or maybe they were just waiting for their time.

These never sold in 2022, nor in 2023, nor in 2024. Maybe 2025, then?

I needed a new thank-you card as the old one didn’t feel right anymore.

Packaging and brand identity have always been a challenge for me, and I’m still figuring out how to create something consistent that represents Little Me in Big Canada.

This time, I wanted a thank you card you wouldn’t throw away after opening your oder, but one you’d actually want to keep, maybe even show to others. 

I may not know much about brand identity, but I do know a thing or two about creative marketing ideas, hehe.

That’s how this new design came to life: the little raccoon face from my logo on the front, and on the back, a thank-you note plus my socials and another leafleft with a “welcome back” discount code.

I’m hoping you all have a big smile when you open your order, and that you use the raccoon card as a bookmark, or on your Christmas tree, or else.

Finally this version feels right: creative, funny, and quirky, just like me! 🦝🦝🦝
