We love an accessory that doubles as a cry for help 😂. Got some incredible mail today from a friend of mine— catch me grocery shopping in this amazing hat every weekend, y’all. Hamburger help me, we’re gonna make it through 2025 one way or another!

One of my favorite ornaments this year.
I love hanging ornaments that represent milestones, achievements, and fond memories—this one, my debut book deal announcement, is certainly something special!
(And peep the back for my characters!)🎄

Some of my favorite gifts to give are handmade, & I had a wonderful time experimenting with Cyanotype art yesterday! I drew this boy and dragon on cardstock, cut it out, placed it on Cyanotype solution-treated paper, and then started it under a UV bulb before moving it into the sun to finish.💙

It’s been a minute, friends, so let me reintroduce myself! I’m TC, author of THE GINGHAMS, a spooky MG mystery that’s essentially a kidlit twist on The Stepford Wives. It comes out Spring ‘26 with Holt Children’s/Macmillan and I’m SO excited to see it hit shelves. Writers, readers, please say hi! ☀️
