{Art and Writing}

So, my blog was originally "Blessing Designs" and although the name was perfect due to my heritage and to my faith in God/Jesus Christ I didn't really like the name at all.  It just didn't seem to fit, so I've come up with the new name "Simply Blossom" because I think that's what every artist does and allows themselves to do.  Artist blossom.  People blossom. 

This blog is a dedication to my writing and my art.  I hope you enjoy it!  I probably won't "share" any of my stories on here (I would like to keep them secret in hopes to get them published) but I'll share plots and ideas.  Any feedback is GREAT!  I encourage it even if it can be negative.  My art is something I've given up on over the summer but as I'm getting ready to enter school and go into Graphic Design I know it will pick up quickly and I'll share all that I can with you! 

I'm super excited about this and this will probably be my favorite blog!  Please check out my other blogs: Pink Parasail and Pretty in Pink.  Also please check out my business website for Mary Kay!  I LOVE Mary Kay products!

I'll post some of my artwork as soon as I can!  Tomorrow is a busy day!  God bless!
