End of the Year Tag (part I: my sims & edits )

Thanks for tagging me @kyranyx, @anotherplumbob & @citrusmiint!  I figure because I was tagged multiple times it gives my an excuse to break this into two posts: sims and edits in part one and builds and scenery in part two.  

The rules: Find your fave pics of your story or your blog in general and post them in a collage.  It can be 1 picture or 100 (whatever you want).  But just reflect on your fave moments in your story or on your blog.  It can be cute moments or pictures of which you’re really proud.  When you’re done tag 5 people or more.  

This year I’ve had my share of ups and downs but this simblr has consistently brought me a lot of happiness.  I feel that I’ve grown into my blog this year: I’ve found a sim style I like, my editing has improved, and I’m beginning to figure out my aesthetic and focus.  Most of all, I’ve really enjoyed meeting new and wonderful simmers and been so inspired by the creativity in this community. I’m hoping this next year brings only the best to everyone!

I tag @starila, @smallcowplant, @retro-pixels, @piphpancakes, @zumingo, @paper-lioness, @soleilsim, @simlydarling, @108sims, @smileemmasim, @pxeldaisy, @thosefuckingsims, @starlightdiner, @mdianasanders, @lemonpxls & anyone who wants to do this. 

I designed this “apartment” for the owner of the bookstore and tea room in my Spice District city block build.

Hi! Once you get this SHARE 6 facts about yourself and send it to your 10 favorite blogs ✿♥‿♥✿

I’velived in Northern California my whole life & I wouldn’t want to liveanywhere else.  I even have the stereotypicalvalley girl accent.

I’man introvert: I love being around my family & close friends but I get veryoverstimulated when I’m in large crowds or social settings where I’m meeting alot of new people.

Ihave a BA in English Literature.  I enjoyreading & creative writing although I haven’t had enough time lately to domuch of either.

Ilove nature.  I’m not outdoorsy at all - Ihate camping with a passion- but I feel calmed & healed by nature.  It’s those moments when I’m connecting withthe natural world that I feel closest to a higher power.

Myastrological signs are Scorpio (Sun), Taurus (Moon), Libra (Ascendant)

Ihave an enhanced sense of smell & taste that are very connected so smellshave a strong taste to me.  This is botha blessing (ah, the aroma of baked goods right out of the oven) & a curse(foul porta-potties & gas station bathrooms are a special kind of hell).

Thanks for including me @thespangleway!  🤗
