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!  🤗

I was tagged by the very sweet @piphpancakes & @kyranyx, thanks!

I had fun decorating the faux apartments in one of my Spice District builds for Christmas.  It’s part of a huge retail lot with a toy store, bookstore, tea room, Christmas tree lot, and two “apartments” that I’ve been working on for a while. I had hoped to share this lot in time for Christmas but sadly I ran into a bunch of routing issues (this is why I hate retail lots) and I’ve been too busy with the holidays to finish it.  Oh well, there’s always next year and hopefully we’ll all get our Christmas wish and have seasons by then!

I feel so honored to be on your follow forever list, tysm - you’re one of my faves too!!
