Next weekend is getting closer, and I’m getting SO excited watching all the little pieces of art from Snowdrop Studios come to LIFE! ☺️🤍

I’ve been painting, printing, cutting, packaging, engraving, and creating some brand-new products specifically for this market—and it has been so much fun seeing ideas that started as little sketches turn into something I can actually put on my table and share with all of you!

Here’s just a little sneak peek at some of the products I’ve been working on for the last few weeks… 👀🌿
And there’s still more to come!

If you’ve been meaning to remember to come out, please save the date! 📅

SAT. OCTOBER 10th! From 10am-1pm!

Come spend just a little part of your weekend supporting local artists, small businesses, vendors, and our school community. There will be a variety of creative people bringing their work, talents, and passion together in one place, and I would absolutely love to see you there!

Whether you come to shop, browse, say hello, support a local artist, or just enjoy the day—I hope you’ll come out and be part of it. 🤍

I’m still trying to wrap my head around this… 🤍 SAVE THE DATE! Because Snowdrop Studios along with other Faith vendors will be at the 2026 Faith Homecoming Market!

Can you believe it?! In less than a month, Snowdrop Studios will be at its very FIRST market!

SAT. October 10th will be the first time I get to pack up the things I’ve been creating in my little corner of home and set them out for people to see, hold, and hopefully take a little piece of Snowdrop Studios home with them.

And honestly, it still feels a little bit surreal. lol 😅

There have been so many moments throughout building this business where I’ve wondered what it would become, where it would go, and when the right opportunities would come along my way.

And then this one came…
At exactly the right time…
Not when I would have planned it…
Not when I would have expected it…But clearly feels right when it was meant to come.

That has been one of the sweetest parts of building Snowdrop Studios — seeing when the Lord shows me clearly an open door that He provided, I didn’t have to force open, and being lovely being reminded that His timing really is truly better and sweeter than mine.
So I’m going to hold this opportunity with a very grateful heart. 🤍

I’ll be personally bringing original artwork, prints, cards, bookmarks, stickers, keychains, and some other little things I’ve been working on behind the scenes.
And I would absolutely love to see some familiar faces there! So if you don’t already have plans for that day… put it in your calendar come and make a visit!

Homecoming Market 📍 Faith Baptist Bible College — Ankeny, IA 🗓️ October 10, 2026 ⏰ 10 AM–1 PM

Thank You, Lord, for bringing this opportunity at exactly the time You knew I would need it. 🤍 Let this opportunity inspire others, make divine connections, and let all that I create - represent Your active presence and glorify Your work in my life. 🙏🏼🤍 🤍

Sometimes the Lord sends a little reminder at exactly the right time. 🤍

This sweet gift arrived in the mail recently, and I don’t think the timing was a coincidence.

“A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.”
— Proverbs 27:9

There are seasons when the Lord brings certain people into our lives so unexpectedly… through a simple conversation, a shared love for creativity, encouragement, and a heart for what He is doing in our lives.

And somehow, before you even realize it, a friendship begins to take root. 🌿

This little but beautiful frame came at such a fitting time for me. It feels like a small reminder of something the Lord has been showing me lately: He knows exactly what we need, and He knows exactly when we need it.

I’m thankful for this new friendship, for the encouragement that has already come from it, and for the beautiful ways God can weave people and purposes together long before we can see the whole picture.

So for now, I’ll simply say…

Thank you, Candi. 🤍
For the thoughtful gift, the encouragement, and most of all, for the friendship beginning to grow.

I have a feeling there are some beautiful things ahead—but today, I’m just grateful for this new budding friendship. 🌿✨

“A sweet friendship -does- refreshes the soul.” 💕

🌱 Website Under Construction — But Snowdrop Studios Is Still Here

A little behind-the-scenes update from Snowdrop Studios! 🤍

You may have noticed that our website is currently undergoing a few changes. We’re not going anywhere—we’re simply taking some time to build, reorganize, and make things a little better behind the scenes. 🛠️🌱

As Snowdrop Studios continues to grow, I want the website to truly reflect what this little studio is becoming—a place for meaningful artwork, heartfelt stories, custom creations, and pieces made with intention.

So, while the website may look a little different (or be temporarily unavailable at this time), you can still reach me!

✨ Send me a DM through social media
✨ Email me at [email protected]
✨ Follow along here for updates, new artwork, upcoming products, and behind-the-scenes moments

Thank you for being patient with me as I continue building this dream. Your support, encouragement, shares, purchases, commissions, and even simply following along mean more than you know. 🤍

Sometimes pieces of art take a break in order to repair, grow and or rebuilt foundations before they can fully bloom to their full potential!

Snowdrop Studios is still here. We’re just under Web construction. 🏡✨

A Little Love Note from the Lord 🪶🗝️

Have you ever noticed how God can use the smallest things to remind us that He sees us?

I’ve always loved hummingbirds. They’re tiny, beautiful, full of color, and somehow seem to appear at just the right fleeting moment. Here and gone! But behold the beauty you captured for that split moment.

And then birds in general carry their each beautiful unique song—which to me is another little reminder of the creative beauty God has woven into His creation.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:26 to look at the birds of the air. They don’t plant or harvest, yet our Heavenly Father cares for them. And if He cares so deeply for the birds, how much more does He care for us?

Sometimes I wonder if the birds we notice are little love notes from Him.

A tiny flash of color.
A familiar song.
A bird hovering nearby.

Just a quiet little reminder:

“I see you. I’m here. I care for you.”

And then there’s the key. 🗝️

I love the symbolism of a hidden key because sometimes God gives us a key before we even understand what door it belongs to.

He opens doors we couldn’t open ourselves.
He closes doors that weren’t meant for us.
And sometimes He simply places a key in our hands and asks us to trust Him enough to walk forward.

Jesus is described as the One who holds the key—and I think there is something beautiful about remembering that the right door doesn’t have to be forced open.

Maybe the key is already in His hands.

Maybe He’s preparing the door.

Maybe He’s simply asking us to trust Him.

So this little hummingbird became something more than just a drawing to me.

A bird to remind me that my Father cares for me.

A song to remind me that there is still beauty around me.

And a key to remind me that God knows which doors I am meant to walk through.

A tiny little love note from the Lord. 🤍

And maybe today, you needed that reminder too.

Custom Crochet Plush 🦅

This little guy flew out of the nest 🪹 this morning! This was a Small to Medium size Plush that came together fairly quickly. That’s not always the case! But this one did. Truly a beautiful piece with great personality. Sometimes those simple requests come together really nicely and prompt. 💕 Happy to see it go to its new home!

Interested in a custom handmade gift? Look no further check out snowdropstudios.com for personalized or handmade gifts & keepsakes. 😊 I’d be honored to make yours next!

A little glimpse into what’s on my desk today…

She’s not finished yet, but I already love the peaceful feeling she’s beginning to hold. Watercolor has a way of teaching patience—to trust the process, embrace the unexpected, and know when to simply let the paint do its work.

I can’t wait to see where this one ends. 🌊

07/08/2026

Hi friends, I realized that many of you have been following Snowdrop Studios for a while now and I want to work on being better about sharing my life and business with you.

I’m Christina, the artist, face & designer, coffee enthusiast as I work, and BIG heart imprint left behind with every piece that leaves my growing home studio.

I’ve always believed that art is a way of preserving moments that words sometimes cannot. Whether it’s painting beloved pets, designing custom stickers, illustrating treasured memories, or creating memorial keepsakes, every project I take on carry someone’s story - and that’s something I never take lightly. 🤍

When I’m not creating, you’ll usually find me with my support water bottle with electrolytes nearby, earbuds in catching up on latest podcast or worship music, organizing my home, cooking, or reading a new mindful book - mostly to help dream up new ideas or working on building business knowledge and habits. I really enjoy spending quality time with my husband after work and on the weekends. We’ve been planning small adventures together and with family. We love hosting friends for game nights along side a yummy dinner, you’re always welcome at our table. Since it’s the season is here, we are choosing to enjoy all the wondrous moments of summer, even the heat & humidity!

One of my favorite parts of this business is getting to know the people behind every commission. Every email, every message, every photo you trust me with becomes part of something meaningful.

I’d love to get to know you a little better too!

✨Tell me in the comments:
•Favorite summer destination so far?
•What type of pet person are you?
•And if you could commission anything from me, what would it be?

Thank you for being here and supporting this dream of mine! Every like, comment, share, order and follow - truly means more than you know 💕

Nature has a way of offering simple joys and beauty in the smallest things.

A feather found on a trail. A tiny shell tucked into a pocket. A pinecone, a blossom, a fallen leaf. Little treasures that might seem ordinary to someone else, but become meaningful because of where they were found, when they were discovered, and the memories they carry.

Some still full of life, others reminders of seasons gone by. Each one a keepsake of adventures, wonder, and moments worth remembering.

I love painting these lovely treasures—small pieces of creation that remind me to slow down and notice the beauty all around us. 🤍
