today is it.

december 16th, 2011 is today, just a year later. today, 1 year ago, i decided it was time to make a personal blog instead of keep posting on my jewelry blog. today is my one-year blogaversary. so many times, i've been discouraged in my blogging, and have almost quit this whole world and gave up, but i didn't.

i'm still discouraged with blogging sometimes. but i have to keep my head up high. i have to believe in myself. now, i think you've met the me right now- but not back then- not a year ago. let me do a before and after kind of thing.

before, i was clueless. i wasn't very good at blogging. i didn't know what to do. then again, i was only ten years old, even though i wasn't allowed to admit it. i was plagiaristic with photos and posts, i copied other people's posts and didn't use a source for each image i took off of google. i was horrible at jewelry making, i was just starting to write my first book which is remarkably terrible.

after,i'm still clueless! but i became a lot more aware of what goes on in the internet world, and how you can get in trouble for so many things! i am writing a second book, which still isn't done and is (hopefully) better than the first and will need millions of touch-ups. i follow many blogs, mainly photography. i'm a blog designer even though i deleted the blog for it. i offer reasonable prices for my blog designs and jewelry. jewelry wise, every item is and will remain under $20 (for my still unprofessional jewels). and for my blog designs, my blog designs start at $10 and go up to $25(for my okay but still nice who-am-i-kidding they ain't that good blog designs!). i'm more authentic, genuine, me! i love books millions. i've read over 500 books my entire lifetime including childhood books.

please don't hate me, but i'd love to here from you guys- just if you have my number, please don't call me! i've got an incredibly sore throat and can barely talk! :( also i am going to be cranking out some pages and placing new ones in. the pages i'm cranking out later will include the reading/favorites page, sponsor and ad space page, join the challenge page, and the blog ♥ page. i'm going to be replacing a few with a faq page (so please leave some questions for me in a comment in a few minutes down there ↓), a favorites page (blog favorites), and a my faith page.

now, you guys probably want to see some pictures or hear some news and what-not! so, let me include a flashback- only one! i promise!

hopefully ya'll remember this

so, if you didn't follow me before april 16th 2012, you wouldn't have a clue what this is. trinka and i were the authors of this blog. well, she was kind of a co-author, but oh well! she used to post on here, she loved it too. i miss her a lot! love you gurl! she sadly, just couldn't keep up with 2 (i think, maybe it was 3....) blogs! so, she decided she needed a break for a little while, she even did the same thing with her first blog, {Amazing Love}.


so now, i've got another button that you can take, it will be up on the button ♥ page soon. i love ya'll!
