Vintage and classic designs that never fade out for fine papers to cover a book, gift wrap, cover a worn box; postcards; stickers; book plates; calendars; journals; magnets; and daily planners. I've used their gift wrap single sheets to cover a very worn box (lid and bottom) which I disappointingly cannot find a replacement for the dimensions as equal in depth. Their gift wrap single sheets also make a nice decor cover to a plain folder to express my free-spirit CHARMED personality. My favorite was their stamp collecting line which has sadly discontinued, the existing travel line and Parisian line. I immensely enjoy their products particularly their gift wrap single sheets. Where there is creativity stems talent where one can personalize a custom gift taken straight from the heart!

I made 5 pieces my 1st class! Jennifer gives you space to learn your way without hovering, but will come by often to help if she sees you may be struggling. She has so much love for the art of pottery and it comes out in each question and skill taught. I love going to class and find I leave each time fulfilled. I've taken pottery classes in Virginia and San Francisco, but this 1-month class has been by far the most hands on of them all! The value of this class is excellent as Jennifer offers you free open studio time during the month-long course. So instead of having only 3 hours of class time this week, I've had 7 hours! I could sign up for more at no extra cost too. Jennifer is fun as well as brilliant. She and her husband Jason are well established and respected in the Pacifica small business community, so it feels good to take classes that support their mission. I highly recommend taking a class or a course here!

Everything about the experience was seamless, and the final result truly delighted both my recipients and me as the sender. That's what great gift-giving should feel like.

Such a fun and unique experience, perfect for anyone with any level of artistic ability!…read more My mom and I took a glassblowing class here and both opted to make the milk jug/small vase. They have a handful of tiers that have different items you can make including paper weights, ornaments, pumpkin, and a terrarium. Each tier is priced differently and gradually increases as you move up a tier. When you book/preregister for your class, you have to select the tier you want to make from, but you are able to change it when you get there. My mom had selected a tier 2 item when booking, but switched to tier 1 the day of, and we were charged appropriately. Instructors were very helpful and gave good insight and demonstrated how the process worked. They were very hands on, and could be even more so if you needed them to be. Our class had some younger kids as well as adults, and everyone was given great care and the assistance they needed. You take turns each making your piece one at a time, so the actual process per person probably took around 20 minutes for tier 0-2 items. Depending on class size and how many people are in your group/when you arrive, you could expect to be there anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5. You don't get to take your blowing home right away, it has to sit in a hot oven overnight to set, so I sadly haven't seen my finished product yet, but I can't wait to pick it up and start putting it to use! Good pro-tip, wear long sleeves! I wore short sleeves because I figured I would be too hot in long, but the molten glass is VERY HOT and can irritate your skin just from the proximity! My arm turned super red and had a little bit of a heat rash the rest of the day, but it went away by the next morning.

Let me start by stating that this review is LONG OVERDUE! Words, pictures and videos CANNOT justify…read morethe high recommendation I give Whimsy Made! I was planning a LAST MINUTE 18th birthday party (filipino debut) for my daughter with absolutely NOTHING  planned, other than a date, a booked venue and a limited budget with only 3 months ahead of me. DIY Youtube videos, Pinterest, Etsy and Facebook groups were my only forms of entertainment at this point.  My best friend was planning her wedding and was referred to Jesiree to assist with planning. She asked me (as her maid of honor) and her matron of honor to accompany her to meet Jesiree and her husband, Eddy to discuss services that they offer and could possibly assist her with for her wedding. I was IMMEDIATELY impressed with her style, her presentation and the variety of services she has to offer. We also learned during the meeting that she was assisting our other friend with her son's 1st birthday party!  After the meeting, I took the opportunity to ask my best friend if she would mind if I ask Jesiree to assist me with providing services to  plan my daughters party (as I did not want it to interfere with the planning of her wedding). She didnt mind at all! (THANK GOD!) I initially only intended to request for assistance with the creation of invitations and favor tags, as I was on an EXTREMELY tight budget and planned to print them myself. In the end, Jesiree helped create ALL the printables for the party, such as the table numbers and Order of Events! Did I forget to mention that she created a design that exceeded what  we envisioned and was able to match all the printables to the theme that my daughter requested?! Yes, she's THAT GOOD! However, along the way of the planning, I encountered MULTIPLE obstacles, such as last minute cancellations of dessert table assistance, videographers, etc. I was EXTREMELY stressed with no energy or patience left due to my limited budget and the short amount of time I had left prior to the event. Jesiree came through and was able to help me... She recommended an AMAZING photographer (IG: @rawkbeez), took the time to include our event into her busy schedule to design/bake treats for a BEAUTIFUL dessert table, AND host HER photobooth at the event along with her wonderful team (Thanks Eddy, Karen and EJ!).  Jesiree's quality of work speaks for itself. She is very kind, patient, organized, and detailed oriented. Im the type of person who has many questions to ask and she was ALWAYS willing to provide the answer! I highly recommend Whimsy Made for event planning and plan to use her for ALL my future events! Thank you, Jesiree and Eddy for assisting us to help create such a memorable event! You've both made it a very pleasurable experience to work with you guys! Its the teamwork to make the dream work!! Thank you soooo much!

Scheduling and coordinating the event was a breeze -- Adam is incredibly responsive over email and easy to work with. The tea kits arrived packaged BEAUTIFULLY and securely, and were clearly of high quality. I was further impressed with the how Adam lead the tea tasting event over video call -- he was incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable! He personalized everyone's individual tea tasting according to what teas they had selected, which greatly impressed us. He walked us through the history and background of the teas we were sampling, and at the end of the session he gave lots of practical advice on how to continue storing our teas for future use. I would absolutely recommend Adam's workshops to anyone looking to plan a (virtual) event -- the combination of how amazing, high-quality, and thoughtful the workshop experience is, along with Adam being wonderful to work with to coordinate the event setup -- makes me give a solid 5 star rating.
