Hello, welcome to my blog!

I am Macy, a student who practices in floral art and owner of Bloom Box Florals. @bloombox.florals

On this blog I will be updating my research and thought processes for my university projects and running of my business.

If anyone has any tips, I would love to hear them! I look forward to reading your blogs.
