, you always hold such a special, special place in my heart. I always have the best time with this event and so many of my favorite people.

Thank you to everyone who preordered, bought something, or just even visited my booth. You are the reason I still do this. Thank you to the event staff, authors, volunteers and vendors because without you, this event couldn’t happen!

Sports Romance Con Update:
Due to some health problems I am currently having, I will no longer be able attend SRC. I am so sad by this, but I cannot travel or be lifting heavy items by myself right now.
If you have a preorder, please send me your address so I can make sure your items make it to you in time ❤️‍🩹

Made the drive to Janesville yesterday to see .shainrose and her newest release, but Midwest weather did, what it does and started snowing and getting icy, so it was cancelled.

At least I was able to pick up my gorgeous book to be signed at in May! Look at how beautiful it is!! 🩷

One of my favorite small bookish businesses.
Support and buy local! ❤️

As many of you know, I started Blooming Books to send my oldest, to Greece. Well, since then I have not only been able to supplement income for the time so I was able to stay home with my grandma and homeschool my younger children but I was also able to send my second daughter to Italy and help my niece go to Poland. It is now my middle daughter's turn to take a trip. For her junior year she will be traveling to EGYPT!!! I am beyond excited for her but I could really use your help getting me out there again. With the algorithms I am virtually unseen. I could also use your help finding events to go to. I am literally out of touch anymore with events in general. I know I had a tough go around after my grandma passed but I truly do love making bookish things and would love to continue. I know that there are other people out there that can do what I can do but there are also other shirt makers, and cup maker, and I don't want to give up on Blooming Books. Let me know I still have a chance.
