Hi friends! I'm Kim, the mama and maker behind Salty Mermaid Designs, and I wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes peek at what inspires so many of the items I create—and spoiler alert: it starts with my family, a whole lot of imagination, and more than a few magical moments. 🏰✨

From Family Fun to Creative Fuel

If you've followed me for a while, you probably know our family LOVES all things Disney. Every trip we take to the parks turns into not just beautiful memories, but also brand-new creative ideas. There’s just something about walking down Main Street or watching your kids meet their favorite characters that makes the inspiration flow like pixie dust.

Some of my most popular items have been born from those experiences:

• 🎨 Custom vacation shirts (because matching tees are a must!)

• 🖼️ Personalized photo frames to capture those dreamy castle moments

• 📍 DIY pin boards to display every magical pin you collect

• 🏡 Home decor & keepsakes inspired by our favorite characters and destinations

These items weren’t created in a design studio—they were created in the middle of trip planning, snack breaks, and late-night crafting sessions after putting the kids to bed.

The Magic Behind the Making

What makes it even more special is knowing that the same joy these items bring to my family, I get to share with yours. Whether you're planning a Disney trip, remembering one, or just love the magic as much as we do, there's something in my shop for you.

💫 Check out my full Magical Moments Collection here — it’s packed with handmade, personalized items that were all sparked by our family’s love for a little bit of magic.

Thanks for being part of this journey and for letting my creations be a part of your magical moments. From one Disney-loving heart to another—thank you for the love and support! 💕

xo, Kim
