The last picture is the real Stumpling I came across on one of my morning walks.

Oh, look at that - it's a new kind of Ghostie!

You haven't seen these before but they have always been around. They have an incredibly important job to do as without them, all our dreams would be at risk of getting lost and disappearing for good.

I'll tell you more about that another time but for now, enjoy that sweet little face and the fact that your dreams are being kept safe and sound. 🌟

Who takes care of all the little stars in the star garden?

It is of course this sweetie, the Rainbow Ghostie! She tucks away all the little ones and sings them a galactic lullaby. 🌟

Little Floral Ghostie and her fancy hats! 🌸

I'm really into making all sorts of accessories for Ghosties. It gives them so much personality, them having their own little wardrobe with flower hats and tiny crowns. Things like these feel like such a treat for my inner kid and bring so much joy. 💕

It's weekend and Stella has an important message for you: go sit in you cotton candy cloud chair, kick back and relax so you'll be able to maintain your ability to shine. 🌟
