Stories about blooming in life and growing in the Stories about blooming in life and growing in the process? Yes please!🌷

This past month I have taken the time to document a little bit about life right now with the @aliedwardsdesigninc Bloom Story Kit™. I love the sentiments and the prompt to celebrate stories of personal growth. I also love that this kit gives me full permission to go all out with flowers and all things spring + garden related.😄

Every time I sit down to work on a memory-keeping project, I am reminded of why I love this hobby so much. The bringing together of heart and hands in a tangible way fills me with so much gratitude. As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me share my projects and my stories with you. 💛

One of my favorite things about our neighborhood i One of my favorite things about our neighborhood is all of the redbud trees that were planted after the ice storm in 2007. Every year I look forward to their clusters of heart-shaped, violet blooms that crown the row of trees planted down the median next to my house. In which, if you lived nearby, you would often find me in the mornings in my slippers, camera held up to my face, just to capture a little bit of the magic of our lovely state tree.🙈
