| Happy Birthday to The Dainty Dolls House |

Tomorrow will be a new chapter in my life. This book is getting very interesting...!

Happy Monday dolls!! And Happy Birthday to The Dainty Dolls House...well, belated birthday as it was on Saturday. But, still it's ok. I've been blogging now since December 2010, I didn't think I'd keep on with blogging this long but I'm happy that I have. It's only been in the last few years that I've actually enjoyed it the most, I think I have become more relaxed with posting photos of myself and using this blog as an outlet to share my thoughts and feelings.  I didn't think anyone would read my blog, let alone continuously read it. For that, I am forever thankful, this blog has given me the way to becoming me or becoming more confident in who I am and who I continue to grow into. Over the years, I have made some really great friends and learned so much about different cultures and places around the world without needing a plane ticket.

I feel that has been the best thing about blogging, the connection you make with people, sometimes people that you didn't think you'd ever meet. I've also worked with some amazing artists & companies that I've also gone on to be friends with. There has been downsides of blogging, people who you think are your friend become horrible, people using your for likes and comments, cheap companies that you do tons of work for and it ends up for nothing. But, thankfully the good outweighs the negatives. 

Really, I just wanted to say a big THANKYOU to everyone that stops by here, comments, shares - not only their opinions but my blog posts too, that means a lot to me. I'm not one of those people that begs people to share my posts because it just feels weird to me, haha. So, when I see your tags or just random shared posts, it really warms my heart (ok, so I tear up a bit, I'm sensitive, lol) 

I also want to say a big THANK YOU to you...for sharing your world with me too, your stories, thoughts, wishes and dreams. Whether it was through your blog or comments. I really feel this is the way we get through life by coming together & exchanging thoughts and feelings. We don't need to be like each other, we can each be unique and yet connect, this is what makes life better. Not being the same but different, differences make the world better. And blogging has opened up a world of differences for me. Hold tight to who you are, don't sway to become popular, skinnier, or whatever else. Cherish and celebrate your uniqueness - it makes the world more beautiful. There have been plenty of companies and people who have done they're best to change me to 'become more popular' but, that's not what I'm about, I'll never change for anyone but myself & I hope you find that strength too. I wish all of you have a wonderful Christmas time, I'll post on Instagram Christmas day & come back here after a little break. Be safe & enjoy your time no matter what you do!! Below are some of my random favourites from my blog over the years.

Loves & loves
