The Pictures...that I Promised!

I mentioned last week that I've been in my apartment now for a year.  And my plan was to post pictures of how things had changed inside since I've moved in...I didn't get a chance to do that.  So here's the pics...of a year ago and today!



Ha ha! So here's the small tv and little entertainment center...that I LOVED!!!  That has since moved into my bedroom and has been replaced by this...



Can't wait to watch the Buckeye football games this season!



I love the fireplace here.  It's definitely one of the reasons I fell in love with this apartment.  I kept it simple.  I was mostly excited about decorating it at Christmas!



I ended up moving both chairs in here because I've added furniture to the apartment.



The other side of the livingroom...before...



A more close-up picture a year later.  I had to make sure you saw Raelee's tank.  You can kind of see her swimming there at the top!



The bathroom hasn't changed too much.  For football season, it's OSU.  I have Christmas stuff during the holidays.  Then it's like blue and purple for the rest of the year.  This pic was taken a year ago.



Here it is today!





My bedroom has always been...and will always be one of my favorite places to be.  I wanted it to be relaxing.  And of course, Byron (my teddy bear) had to be there! 



I had to have the chair!  It was given to me and I didn't need it in the livingroom.  So it was perfect in the bedroom...where I could relax and read or write.



The bed has since changed!  I fell in LOVE with this bed at IKEA!!  The room is still mainly blue and brown but I loved this comforter too.  It had blue and brown along with purple!!! 



And I treated myself to this AWESOME recliner with my tax refund.  Oh, this chair is AMAZING!! Perfect for reading or just curling up.  (excuse the floor...I didn't vacuum before taking the pic)

The only pics I haven't included are of the kitchen and that's because the kitchen needs cleaned!  And I didn't feel like doing that tonight.  But I will and then post the before and after pics.  Not much has changed but a little has so I want to share that with you.  And I don't think I've ever posted pics of the extra room...and that's because it's usually not the cleanest because of scrapbooking stuff.  But I may go ahead and take a few pics so you can see that as well.

My friend Karen asked me last week what has changed about me over the last year since I've been in this apartment.  And I've been thinking about that a lot actually.  At first I thought nothing.  And I'm still not sure the apartment has caused a lot of changes in me...but I think there were a few.  I think mainly the apartment gave me the opportunity to react differently to things...but I think I'll save that for another post!

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Friday Follow

How come when it's time to do the Friday Follow, I have nothing interesting to say??? Hmmmm...it's been a long week.  Days where things just didn't make sense.  Lots I need to process.  It's possible that all of my thinking will lead to a great post this weekend.  But for now, I just hope all of you new visitors find something interesting to read from other posts here.  I plan to spend this rainy weekend doing some thinking, relaxing, watching movies and checking out new blogs!  Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, right?  :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

New Cards!!!

So between resting this weekend (cause my allergies kicked my butt...especially yesterday), I worked on making some cards.  It's been SO long since I've actually spent time doing something like this and I LOVE making cards!  So I wanted to share them with you.  I made 20 cards total.  2 each of 10 designs.  So now there's two sets of friendship cards.  I think I'm going to try to sell one set.  Then I think give the other set away.  I'm just not sure how.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking if you leave a comment about the cards you'll be entered to win.  If you buy one set of cards, you'll also be entered to win.  Hows that sound?
