Welcome to BloGondo 🌷

A blog about art, love, and the stories that connect us.

✨ Who I Am

Hi, I’m Kellen. A lifelong creative, joyful hand letterer, and intentional memory-keeper. I’m also a wife, a present and energized mom, a former psychologist, a eternal learner and a forever believer in the healing power of beauty and love. My hands are often full of paper, scissors, glue — or digital brushes — and my heart is always full of purpose. I create because I believe love deserves to be recorded, noticed, gifted, and remembered.

Faith and creativity are the two rivers that shape my life. Everything I make is an overflow of both. You can also learn more about myself on this page.

✂️ What I Do

I design digital and handmade art that celebrates emotions, milestones, and memories. From printable zines to custom scrapbooks, I create thoughtful gifts that speak when words fall short. You’ll find vinyl stickers, memory journals, custom keepsakes, and heartfelt messages — all crafted with color, soul, and storytelling.

I also offer premium, handcrafted gifting services like The Keepsake Studio and The Milestone Gift Map, made for women who want intentional, one-of-a-kind gifts that carry meaning — not just price tags.

🌸 What I Love

I love life, the simple things, like hugs and the presence of those I love. I love art in all its forms! An I love paper! The feel, the touch, the textures, the smell, cutting them, tearing or crumpling. I collect papers since I was so young.

I’m that person who gets emotional over pretty paper, who loses track of time in stationery aisles, who makes a full celebration out of someone else’s birthday. I love handwritten notes, beautifully messy junk journals, books that feel like friends, and the kind of art that hugs your soul.

I love the sacredness of giving. The intimacy of honoring someone’s life through a handmade gift. The gentle power of showing love — visually, emotionally, and intentionally.

💌 How I Can Help

BloGondo was born to share everything I’ve learned (and keep learning) as an artist, gift whisperer, and visual storyteller. Here, I’ll write about:

  • What makes a junk journal magical

  • How to turn memories into gifts

  • Behind-the-scenes of my art process

  • Thoughtful gift ideas for every season

  • Encouragement for creatives & memory-keepers

  • And lots of love, tips, and beauty along the way

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute gift that still feels personal, or just craving beauty that reflects your heart — I hope BloGondo feels like a welcome and warm space. A cozy corner of the internet where paper meets purpose, and art meets soul.

Thank you for being here.
With love and layers of gratitude,
Kellen Gondo 💗
