Soak Up The Sun
Happy July!!❤️🤍💙
July is probably one of my favorite months, first because it’s officially SUMMER! The sun is out, the storms are wild, and the veggies are starting to grow! I also like July because it’s my anniversary month. Jeremy and I were married on 7/7/16.
NINE YEARS, YA’LL!
🛜 Some of you may have seen, but in case you didn't, I am taking a break from social media. My last day was June 17th, and it has been so freeing. I may never go back! I had about 3 weeks of posts scheduled, but I haven’t been on to interact with any of them. I’m sure I will still post occasionally, especially around book releases and things, but I am really enjoying the weight that has lifted since I stopped trying to fight the algorithm.
My mom will continue to share my Facebook events (thanks, mom!) to try and spread the word about my classes. Feel free to share them as well, if you’d like to help me out. 🥰 If you have any ideas on how to advertise outside of social media, I’d love your input!
As of now, I’m not scheduling any new classes, but I have several scheduled through the end of the year. I’m not sure what 2026 looks like aside from the book 3 release next spring, but I’m sure things will work out how they’re meant to.
Now, to the list of upcoming classes and events:
🎨 Paint Classes
July 22 - Humpback Whale at Horizons Creative Studio (Lemoyne)
July 26 - Sun/Moon at The Bewitching Moon (Mechanicsburg)
Aug 1 - Mushroom Party at H&H Handcrafted Treasures (Dillsburg)
📚 Aug 9 - Book-Themed Day Camp with Horizons Creative Studio
🖼️ Vendor Events
📚 Oct 3-5 - Book-Themed Creative Retreat with Horizons Creative Studio
✨📚Book News from The Great King and the Seer!!📚✨
If you follow my socials, then you may have seen that I released the title for book 3 in TGKATS series a few weeks ago! In case you didn’t, the title is “Royals and Renegades.” Here is a little sneak peek of the cover, which I’ll (probably) be releasing in August.
I’ll be posting a new short story soon, too. Finally, a short that includes Foxxglove and Iris! Subscribe to my TGKATS Substack so you don’t miss it. It will be the 11th short story from the series, so if you haven’t read the others, I highly recommend checking them out. You’ll also find fun articles about the world of Arkaemor in a series I am calling Friday From the Seer’s Desk.
Final thoughts: Check out my LinkCircle, if you wanna. And how cool is this banner?? I had a vinyl one printed for my display at events!
That’s all for now. Enjoy July! Stay cool, but don’t forget to soak up the sun!
Thanks for reading,
