🎄✨ Bring Joy to a Child Spending the Holidays in the Hospital ✨🎄
With Christmas just around the corner, many of us are busy decorating, baking cookies, and planning festive gatherings. But for some kids, this season is spent in hospital rooms rather than at home, surrounded by their loved ones. 💔
Imagine how much a little joy and creativity could mean to them. Our DIY Hospital Paint Kits are designed to bring a spark of happiness and a sense of normalcy to pediatric patients who can’t be home for the holidays. These kits allow kids to express themselves, decorate their space, and make something beautiful they can call their own.
By donating a kit, you’re not just providing paints and supplies—you’re giving a child a moment of holiday cheer, a sense of accomplishment, and a chance to create memories even in the most challenging times.
Every kit makes a difference. Every donation counts. Let’s make sure these kids know they’re not alone this holiday season. ❤️

🎄 Sponsor a Smile this Holiday Season ❄️
Help us bring joy to pediatric patients at Children's Wisconsin and UW Health Kids at American Family Children's Hospital,
this Christmas and winter! We're on a mission to provide 350 DIY Sign-Making Kits, giving kids a fun and creative outlet while they're stuck inside during those long, cold months.
Every sponsorship helps us provide smiles, creativity, and a break from hospital routines. Join us in reaching our goal of 350 kits—because every child deserves a little joy this season.
"The kindness you do, even if it's only the size of a pea, will be remembered by those who receive it."
I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who have generously sponsored our Kits for Kids for children in our local hospitals! Your support has made it possible to bring a little joy and happiness to these young patients, brightening their days while they are there. 🌈❤️
James Mom posted this message:
" Thank you Signs By Caitlin! Another masterpiece finished by James today at his all day infusion. I love that even little kids can make beautiful pieces of art to take home and show off. This kit makes it so easy! Thank you for your donation. He always struggles to find stuff to do on his clinic days. He loved every second of this."
As we look forward to the upcoming holiday and the long winter months, we are seeking additional sponsors to help us continue and expand this initiative. If you, or your business or organization would like to make a difference in the lives of these incredible kids, please reach out to us. Together, we can bring smiles, comfort, and joy to children who need it most. ✨
TIME RUNNING OUT THANKSGIVING DELIVERY!!🦃

This business all started out in our garage in Madison, Wisconsin in 2014. I was a stay at home mom of two small children 14 months apart. That fall a bomb was dropped on us. Our 23 month old son was given an autism diagnosis. He was nonverbal and we were told he might never speak. I remember when the doctor gave us his diagnosis. I literally felt like I got hit with a ton of bricks. I sat in her office asking her to stop talking, to back up and repeat what she had said. I didn’t see it coming. I was devastated, as if my son was just given a life sentence.
As an introvert without any family near, the first of my friends to have children and with my husband, Matt, working full time and going back to school at night, I felt extremely alone and overwhelmed. I needed an outlet and a way to help pull my weight in the financial department so we could offer our son all the tools and therapy he needed.
ENTER SIGN MAKING
I started making signs on an upside down industrial trash can while my babies were napping or at night after they went to bed.
I had taken woods class in high school (thank you Mr. Holm) and knew my way around the basic wood working tools. I went to Home Depot and bought the supplies I needed. I came home, flipped over our garage trash can, busted out our sander and went to town. I sanded and stained and created and
IT. FELT. SO. GOOD.
I began selling individual signs locally. I was offered a space at a local restaurant to host my first workshop in 2016. I knew this would be the perfect way for me to build the community that I so needed, connecting with other adults, sharing the amazing process of creating something you can be proud of. What a therapeutic and healing process it was! From there everything snowballed. I was suddenly traveling to Iowa and back to my home state of Illinois for workshops. It has all led to this moment today, five years later. In Fall 2016 my husband left his career to help further our business.
SIGNS BY CAITLIN TODAY
Over the last few years we have built an absolutely amazing team of instructors, we’ve hired a dream staff at our warehouse in Verona, and we are currently running workshops throughout Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. We are so blessed for this opportunity to provide a creative outlet to so many.
Thank you to each and every one of you who has ever created a sign with us. Your part in this journey was exactly what this momma needed.
