Another Amazing Issue!

This is going to sound extremely unoriginal.
But...
We totally awesomely ROCK!
I'm once again in awe of the tireless effort that everyone put into the October issue.
I sat and read EVERY last article.
It took about thirty good minutes, but it was entirely worth it. You know why?
Because every word was GLOWING with the image of Christ Jesus and His word.
And that's what counts the most. Congrats on another amazing issue, everyone!

It's astounding!!!

Oh my goodness! The magazine is AMAZING!!!! I can't believe you guys did it!!
Thank you so much, KyAnn, for starting it! It's been so much fun.
God has really worked through this magazine, hasn't He?
I can't wait 'til it's my turn! ;)

GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!!!!

First Issue Comes Tomorrow!

Hey girls and fellow readers and writers and photographers!

I just wanted to say that I think we should all give a shout out to KyAnn for organizing this whole thing. None of this would be here without her! She had an amazing vision for this magazine and now we all get to see it tomorrow. How cool is that? All of our hard work in one place. That's such a God-thing. Christian teen girls influencing Christian teen girls - that's what it's all about, don't you think? I'm pretty sure God is smiling down at us all right now. Don't forget that he loves us all!

Bloom! Staff Writer

Hello Everyone!

Hi guys! My name is Hannah and I'm a writer on the Bloom! Staff :)
Here is a little bit about me:
1. I love to write poetical things :)
2. I'm 12 years old (almost 13!)
3. I love love love photography!
4. I'm very thankful for who I am.
5. I love the Lord with all my heart and soul.

My favorite color is the color that glimmers with love, flows with beauty and dances with moonbeams. In other words, I haven't found it yet.
My favorite season is the season that brings cool streams from heaven that nourishes the pink and yellow beauties, followed by sunshiny radiance that smells of green earth and happiness, along with chilled noses and hot cider, and finally, sparkling crystal covered pines and toasty orange flames in a stone fireplace.
In other words, I don't have a favorite season. I love all of them!
I enjoy hanging out with neighborhood kids, being active, playing my guitar, teaching myself songs on the piano, painting with watercolors, daydreaming and expressing myself in my writing and photography. I am a follower of Christ and try to do His will every day of my life. I am so happy and honored to be part of Bloom! and I can't wait to get started!
You can find me at my main blog, my photography blog, and this writing blog!

Hello, lovelies!

Hey, gals!  I'm Hannah - a Bloom! Staff Photographer who is super-excited to be a part of this wonderful organization that lovely Kyann has started.

Goodness, that didn't define me in the least. Many of the staff members are photographers, and I think we're all pretty excited to be a part of the fabulous Bloom! Magazine.  As for more about myself-

I am a daughter, sister, dreamer, blogger, photographer, and Princess of Christ.  I'm thirteen years old and am home schooled by my wonderful momma, and I am so grateful for the time my parents invested in home-educating me as a Christian.  I live in Missouri with my parents and three younger siblings who make my day...daily.  I'm a lover of chocolate, sewing,flipflops, coffee (preferably a White-Chocolate mocha from Starbucks, or even better, a Cappuccino from Rome, Italy, which is, of course, very rare), reading, singing, music, computers..and, of course, blogging.

I take violin, dance Ballet and Tap at a fabulous dance studio, and attend an amazing co-op where I take classes such as drama, speech, science, writing, and the like. 

I have a passion for finding beauty in the mundane (and the not-so-mundane) and capturing it with my camera.  I recently bought a Canon Rebel T2i, and, let's just say I'm in love.  I continue to improve in my photography.  I'm certainly not the best, but if I look at the photos I was taking a year ago, even six months ago, I see quite the improvement.  I am looking forward to seeing where this talent of mine brings me, and am so glad to be able to take pictures as a Staff Member here.

 I wish my life to be glorifying, beautiful, and pleasing to the Lord, but so many times I fall short of this. Jesus accepts me as I am, though, and for that I am eternally grateful. If it is God's will, my wish is to one day be a wife, home-schooling mother, and professional photographer.

I'm so excited to get to know you all through this site, and through the magazine.  If you'd like to find out more about me, you're welcome to visit my main blog or my photography blog. 

Blessings!

Hey Everyone!

Hi everyone! My name is Allie and I'm a photographer for Bloom! Magazine! I'm so excited about this magazine and can't wait to see what everyone does!

I am a 14 year old photographer. I am a Christian and I love God with all my heart! In the fall, I will begin my freshman year of high school; I've been homeschooled all my life and love it! Playing piano is one of the things that keeps me busy. I am the second oldest of four children, I have one older sister, one younger brother, and one younger sister. I love being in a big family even though it's not that great all the time! In my spare time I enjoy taking pictures, editing them, and blogging them! You can find my work at allie photography. I want to share my pictures on Bloom! Magazine in hope of encouraging other girls her age.

I guess that's it about me! :)

Hello There!

Hey girls! My name is Mary Catherine, and I'm a staff writer and occasional photographer for the Bloom! magazine. I am so excited about this magazine and the influence that it will have on all girls our age.

So here's a little bit about me!

First of all, I adore writing, obviously. I am totally looking forward to getting more experienced through being a magazine writer. I am interested in a lot of things, like photography, interior design, fashion design, horses, singing, and piano. I focus best when music is playing. I adore kittens but can't have one because my brother is allergic. :) I'm an organization freak and my closet is color coded. I have a library of over one hundred books and all of them have been read at least five times each. If pink was an addiction, I would be an addict. I have a pet albino rabbit who's name is Cloud. He was born on the Fourth of July. Don't give me any grief over the un-original name - I got him when I was seven and automatically computed white, fluffy, Cloud!

I like old movies and actors and my favorite place is Williamsburg, Virginia, the living museum. History is my favorite subject and I love bizzare facts about anything. Like did you happen to know that MGM owns the rights to the "Happy Birthday" song?

I became a Christian when I was five and was baptized when I was eleven. I love Christ with all of my heart and do everything that I do for Him. I hope you will be able to learn more about Him as I do with this magazine and that it will encourage you to learn more about Him.

Well, I suppose that's about it. I hope you will follow this blog and subscribe to the magazine. Come along with us on our spiritual journey!
