I had meant to reblog this but forgot in the holiday frenzy.  Thanks again for including my on your list, you’re definitely on mine as well!

Followers Forever - 207

(Apologies if this doesn’t have the keep reading cut… I swear I put it in there…) 

Have a wonderful December 25th, my SIMian friends! To some it’s a special day… others it’s just a day. Either way, May it be a good day filled with love and good things!

Since 200 followers and Christmas seem to coincide, I felt like it was appropriate to release this on Christmas day. It’s been sitting in my drafts for a few days.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the 200 some folks who have followed my blog. I didn’t expect to see 200 in a year, but I’m so glad. I started this blog to help me get my creativity out and it’s become so much more than just that. 

I really want to say thank you to you guys for taking the time to even look at my blog once and follow me. If I didn’t mention you, it’s likely because I forgot or I just missed you in the list of many awesome people that exist out here in the tumblr world. I honestly tried to hit everyone on my list.  So even if I didn’t mention you or put you on this list.. please know you are awesome and I appreciate your time! 

I can’t imagine these that these types of posts will get any easier with more followers, maybe in the next 200 I’ll make sure to categorize them for the awesome content. 

Once again, thank you! 

Keep reading

End of the Year Tag (part II: my builds)

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.  

The main reason I started my simblr was to post about my builds and interior decorating.  Sadly I lost interest halfway into the year when I started to become frustrated with the limitations of the game and lack of interesting build/buy content but luckily with all the great new content I’m feeling that inspiration return.  I’m hoping to have more time this year to tackle all the build ideas I have in my head.  Anyways, Happy New Year everyone!  🎉🎆🍾

I tag @thespangleway, @jenba, @alexpilgrimblog, @skadisim, @charmsimy, @bottsbotts, @cyberqueen-13, @pixelpeopleplayland, @pixelplayground, @kilra0, @budgie2budgie, @floppant, @javitrulovesims & anyone who wants to do this.

Wow, this is so stunning! I’m so honored you used my build!
