What’s in a name? Blooming Light Designs was or

What’s in a name?

Blooming Light Designs was originally established in 2007 as a jewelry design business born out of a need for a creative outlet while I was in the throes of raising two young children and a desire to “bloom” where I was planted, “shine,” and make a positive difference in the world. After five successful years I closed shop shortly after I was called in a different direction. During this time frame I had the chance to dive deeper into my long-time favorite practice of journaling.

Journaling, both in written and artistic form, has been an invaluable tool for me throughout my adult life. It has allowed me to document and reflect upon life’s many blessings such as my family, my faith, my friends, my travel experiences, as well as capture in words and images the joyful day-to-day moments in life. Journaling has also served as a lifeline through many of life’s challenges including the day-to-day struggles and dark seasons, a battle with cancer, the Covid pandemic, my empty nest transition, and my search for meaning and purpose on this journey we call life.

Equipped with my professional background in adult education/instructional design, training in therapeutic journaling, my love of paper crafting, and my desire to use my God-given gifts to make a positive difference in the lives of others, I began to re-imagine Blooming Light Designs/BloomingLightMarket as not only an Etsy Shop offering products to inspire creativity, but as a resource to help others find joy in the journey through creativity.

I’m so glad your journey led you here!

“Every new beginning comes from some other begin

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” - Seneca

Our recent family trip to Italy was an amazing celebration marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one in the life of our family. It also served as the inspiration for several Blooming Light Designs product line ideas, including our very first collection: “Amalfi Coast.”

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to become so wrapped up in the demands of daily living that we often find ourselves distracted and overwhelmed. It is my hope that my designs provide the inspiration you need to slow down, refocus, and rediscover joy and beauty in the moment through creativity.
