Kids grow up way too fast 😭 The first photo is from this past summer, and I feel like my niece and nephew have already shot up in size since then.

My heart is so full after spending quality time laughing and playing games with them last month. At one point, I really looked at Gavin’s face and noticed his little—but now grown—facial features. His beautiful, long eyelashes and sweet brown eyes are the same as when he was a toddler. I want him to stay a kid forever, but I also can’t wait to see what he goes on to do in life—who he becomes. Probably a professional soccer player or a world-famous musician.

Gavin’s in seventh grade now, but this fall, he joined the local high school marching band. He’s in the percussion group, playing the synthesizer. How cool is he?? He also auditioned for his school’s eighth-grade band trip to Carnegie Hall—and he made it!!!

This is the trip of a lifetime. It’s something these kids are truly looking forward to, especially after Hurricane Helene and its devastating aftermath. Music has a special way of healing the soul, and I have no doubt this is giving these kids the opportunity to do just that.

His band is raising money to make the big trip to New York in March. Whether you can donate or help spread the word, I know they’d be so grateful. ❤ you can find the scannable QR code at the end of this or donation link in my bio.

My heart is filled with so much gratitude and thanks for what an incredible year this was. It was filled with lots of hard work, long nights, but the rewards were tremendous. I’m so grateful to everyone that helped me create my book, came to book launch, book signings and workshops. I feel so fortunate to all the opportunities that came across my plate to showcase the book and my paper flower journey.

Here’s to 2025. 🥂The first six months of the year is packed with book promotions, workshops, travels and of course it will be filled with lots of flowers. I hope to see you next year in Portland, Seattle, Osaka, Kyoto, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and many more!
