Go ahead, peek inside

A letter, written just for you
Like sitting across from a friend at coffee, talking about what's been on my mind. The month's theme, what I'm learning, what I'm noticing. And yes, probably some unsolicited advice.

The Sunshine Challenge 
A mini challenge card built around the theme. Notice it, create it, write it down, press a sun sticker. Fill it up and check your letter for what happens next.

A little something to make 
Each month there's something to do with your hands, built around the theme. A small craft, an activity, sometimes two. Something that gives you a reason to sit down, be present, and make something just because.

An original art print postcard 
A 4x6 to keep on your desk, your fridge, or send to someone who needs it.

Stickers 
Because stickers are awesome.

My story

Hi, I'm Valerie!

I lost my job earlier this year and found myself in one of the hardest seasons of my life. I spent the last decade designing learning, development, and inclusion programs for large corporations. While I was thankful to spend more time with my two young daughters, I also found myself in need of a creative outlet - something tangible to look forward to. I realized that what truly lights me up is creating spaces for people to feel seen, grounded, and valued.

But the seed for this journey was actually planted back in 2025. A dear friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer while living in another state. I wanted to send her something that felt more personal than a text message, so I started mailing her letters. I drew on the envelopes, tucked in little paper surprises, and poured my energy into creating small moments of comfort for her. She saved every single one.

That is how A Wisp of Sunshine began.

Drawing from my experience designing corporate learning programs, I now hand-design and assemble monthly physical care packages built around introspection, self-discovery, and quiet joy.

My sunshine is in creating these small handmade whispers of joy. I hope yours is in opening them.

- Valerie
