Born at the kitchen table
Meet Sarah &
Small Smile
Hi, I’m Sarah – mom of two amazing kids, wife, and proud founder of Small Smile. I never set out to start a sticker paper company… but life, as it turns out, had other plans.
Chapter 01
Our Story – Born at the
Kitchen Table
Five years ago, my life was a mix of running a small flower shop, chasing my kids, and managing a house full of crafts. But one thing kept frustrating me – I couldn’t find sticker paper that worked for all of us.
My daughter
Endlessly creative — she needed safe paper that wouldn’t smudge.
My teenage son
Bold and adventurous — he needed stickers that survived rain, scratches, and daily use.
My flower shop
I needed professional, waterproof labels for the shop.
Everything we tried failed –
-
peeling
-
fading
-
jamming the printer
So one night at our kitchen table, I decided:
If I couldn’t find the perfect sticker paper, I’d make it myself.

Why We Do It – Our Heart
This business has always been personal. I made this paper for my kids first, and I still test every batch with them – sometimes it’s a dinosaur sticker marathon, sometimes it’s bold decals for Brandon’s skateboard.
For me, Small Smile isn’t just about selling paper – it’s about sparking creativity, connection, and joy, one sheet at a time.
With love, Sarah 💛
From my family to yours – thank you for supporting Small Smile.
Here’s to creating, sticking, and smiling… always.
