COUNTING DOWN 14 days to Valentine's Day! I've been making these whimsical monochromatic roses for Thomas Sabo and I had a blast taking some flatlay shots for their social media blasts.

A question I get from my followers, especially my international friends, is -
“DO YOU TEACH ONLINE CLASSES??”
And now, finally I can say “YES! I DO!”
My online school is now up on Teachable on this site: https://misspetalandbloom.teachable.com/
Now there’s so much work and thought that went into the making of these videos, even the decision itself was hard, I went back and forth with the pros and cons but ULTIMATELY, I really wanted to reach out to my international audience and...
