I tore the siding off my back porch and am going to give my entire backyard & porch a much needed facelift. Construction is under way. Every step feels like the bloom is opening more. I can’t wait to see the final flower.
You always have the best giveaways! My husband & I are about to re-do the landscaping (which is currently non-existant) and patio in our backyard. At this time next year there will be a whole lot more blooming when we look out our kitchen window!
Art! I am a interior designer by degree, but have been working as a self-taught watercolor artist for several years. My daughter is graduating from college in a few weeks and she asked me to paint a large painting for her to hang in her apartment that she will move into when she gets her first job (Hope and pray…). I am just starting and I want to have it finished by the time she comes home….it’s in acrylic, large (4′ x 4′), and not in my comfort zone at all…But I am so excited to see what gift will “bloom” from the bottom of my soul that I can give to her!!!
As a lover of all thing paper products and having worked in the industry for many years, I’ve finally decided to venture out and start my own greeting card line. The ideas are “blooming” and hopefully the finished line will “spring up” sometime in the fall.

I suffered an injury whilst volunteering in Africa and had to come back home early. But, springtime is my favorite and I’ve been able to enjoy this beautiful one. ( there’s no such thing as springtime in wonderful west africa) My whole life is in bloom! I’ve done lots of growing as a person and established wonderful flourishing friendships! Getting injured was a blessing in disguise.
My summer travel plans are in bloom! I’m planning a trip to Paris, London, Glasgow, and a little town in Portugal with my boyfriend; and hopefully China and Taiwan with my family later in the summer.
Jasmine, Cala Lilies, Peach Geraniums, White Roses, Strawberries, and Lavender are IN BLOOM in my little Laguna Beach garden! I have talked to my plants all year long (verifiably crazy, I know)… telling them that they are going to be beautiful this year, and they are!

My Nana’s peonies are in bloom! We transplanted the plants after she died a few years ago and they have without fail bloomed on Mother’s Day (yes, very curious), but my mom discovered two blossoms earlier this week.

In bloom in my life…well hopefully my green thumb I planted a few fruits on veggies so just waiting to taste the home grown deliciousness. Mmmm
Happy Anniversary! LOVE your store…
Yesterday worked on a “Queen’s Jubilee Celebration ” shoot and the food stylist made cupcakes with red, white and blue frosting, piped into the petals of roses on the top of each cake. It was amazing to watch each bloom grow, petal by petal – and so quickly. Her brand name is Fancy Nancy – check out her incredible cupcakes, cookies and celebration cakes. These cupcakes in bloom looked great with my retro props and royal paraphenalia. And Maja Smend took perfect pictures as usual.
Thanks
Regards from Tony in London

BLOOM. There is a radiance when flowers are in bloom. Bright, vibrant colors and hills of life. I have a new friendboy and together we have adventures every week, usually on bikes. I quit my day job to peruse photography full time so I’m more in my skin than ever before. I’m not sure the flowers and fruits of my labor have opened at maximum capacity/potential, but the vibrance and the life is definitely present in my life. Also my sister has the best store on the west coast. May I please have a fine point french wooden pencil? Thanks!
My son is just over FOUR months old; he’s certainly blooming and spreading his bloom to our smiles.

My blog! I’m hoping to really get into blogging again, and hopefully get a bigger audience as well.
My litlle apartment is in bloom – getting ready for spring!
My 4yr old son,Hayden, is in bloom this spring. Hayden was born with down syndrome & required open heart surgery at 100 days old. Thankfully the surgery was spot-on & he is a healthy little boy. This weekend the family took a little get away trip. I watched Hayden literally jump with excitement & pride after he rode his first horse. I saw the impact of his kindness towards strangers as he acknowledges each one with a smile & “hello”. I saw a little one with speech development issues add 4 new words to his vocabulary in a few hours. I watched Hayden try to copy every swim move made by big sister, Maggie. Hayden is in bloom
this spring & I am lucky enough to have a front row seat!

Last year I decided to go back to school, while working full time. I felt like I was running on a treadmill permanently! lol. I’m now seeing the blossoms of my labor, I just started a new amazing job, I am taking fitness classes (I guess I missed the treadmill), and I am newly engaged. I’ll take the up’s, life is certainly blooming.
Happy birthday PP!
Can you tell its 4:30 am? Preemptive send… currently feeding my nearly 8 week old son. To say that our amazing relationship is “in bloom” is a colossal understatement! He’s the most amazing person I know!
