Way to go, Holly!!

Holly Nielsen took third place in the nation for her community service project in the National Programs in Action category at the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Fla., July 5-10. The honor was a complete surprise.

We're starting the week off with some exciting news - we are now an indie book store on Libro.fm! 🥳🥳

What is Libro.fm? It's an independent audiobook company that makes it possible for bookshops to sell digital audiobooks. With your purchases and membership, Petals & Pages is supported!

Why should you join Libro? Because listening is a great way to read more books while doing more things - traveling, exercising, crafting, etc. And unlike other listening companies - ahem, Amazon - your monthly credits NEVER expire AND you're supporting a small business.

Your monthly membership gets you one free credit a month (two if you sign up soon!) AND an additional percentage off of their wide array of book choices. And did I mention your supporting a small business, right here in your town!?!? 🤔

Check our page out at: https://libro.fm/petalsandpagesofsd
And don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions!

It's the time of year again - summer break!🌞We will be closed Aug. 7-16, re-opening Monday, Aug. 18.

During our break, I will be attending one of my favorite conferences, Society of American Florists' annual convention. Not only will I be attending, but I will be creating on the design team for my second year, in addition to being inducted as PFCI. It's gonna be a fun week with great experiences and opportunities!

I appreciate your understanding as I close for this break. Conferences like these help with creativity, as well as keep me on top of my floral education. I can't wait to share all the fun with you!
