I'm a former elementary school teacher turned stay-at-home mom, and I turned my lifelong passion for crafting into Branch & Blooms Co. — a small home studio in Belton, Texas where every wooden gift is handmade, laser-engraved, and made to order with care.
Thank you for stopping by! Below you'll find my collections, materials, and what my customers are saying.

Shop Collection →Materials
I carefully select the best materials from local suppliers here in Belton, TX, meticulously inspect and sand every piece to ensure your keepsake is the perfect quality.
1/4" Birch Plywood
My go-to for its strength and beauty. I love Birch for its rich, visible grain and durability, making it the perfect sturdy base for any custom piece.
1/8" Basswood
A soft, fine-grained wood favored for its clean finish. I typically use it for dimensional components, like raised lettering and intricate 3D details.
