Hiya lovely reader! Oh my goodness, I logged on today to be greeted with the amazing fact that there have been over 4,000 views on "Not Exactly Plain Jane"! That is so amazing and exciting to me! Thank you so much!
If I'm honest, I haven't been extremely pleased with myself about the content that I have been putting out these past few months. Before I came home from school, I felt so ready to have time to get back into the swing of blogging. I had written out all these ideas for posts (some of which I have accomplished, but others I have not) but when I got home, I just felt like I had lost it. My enthusiasm for blogging was still there but I felt like my content was not up to par (still do to an extent) and just felt really down.
However, I have been doing some thinking lately and I think that my problem is that I have all these visions and goals for what I want this blog to be, but a lot of them aren't going to happen overnight, so until then I need to focus on what I can do and post about presently. My blog is my blog and I shouldn't be looking at people who have been doing this for years and years and compare my blog to theirs. I continue to work on this concept in my own life so it's silly to me that I started getting wrapped up in comparisons in the blogging world. Things will happen when and if they are meant to happen and until then I should just do my thing and trust myself.
So, my goal now is to treat this blog like I did when I started out and remember why I started this it in the first place. I am a creative person and this blog has been/is an amazing outlet for me to share my creations, as well as my interests, thoughts, and life events. There have been a few things that have happened lately, that I feel have re-lit my blogging fire and I am ready to go!
Cheer's to anyone who has contributed to these thousands of views and here's to thousands and thousands more! Now let's do this! Xx

Lazy Sunday Morning & Over 3,000 Views
Hello lovely reader! "Sunday morning, rain is falling" Not the prettiest day here today but it makes a perfect reason to wake up, put on your fuzzy slippers, and stay inside all day.
I wanted to say a massive massive thank you, because just after NewYears, I logged on to see that there have been over 3,000 page views! That is absolutely insane to me! Looking back on my first ever post, I am extremely satisfied with my design to start a blog. So thank you for reading and following, and continuing to do so. It has grown faster than I could have imagined and I can't wait to see it continue to progress. I have fallen in love with blogging and the blogging community. I love reading blogs and being inspired by what other people are doing. So if you are reading this and are on the fence about whether or not you want to create a blog, as I was, do it, give it a shot! But make sure you are doing it for yourself. It is easy to get hung up on the numbers. The "Oh, only one person has read that post today" or "Why aren't I getting more followers??" is something that you can't focus on, post about what you want to post about and people will find your blog, it's amazing how quickly five followers can transform into one hundred and fifty. I really do enjoy blogging and am always trying to think of new posts so if you ever have a question or suggestion, please feel free to leave a comment or send an email! Thank you again to those who read and follow!! Mwah! Xx

Quick Check In!
Hi there lovely reader! Just wanted to say "Hey" and sorry for the lack of posts these past couple of days! I've been extremely busy/stressed/trying to relax and I will most likely explain why in an upcoming post. Just wanted to let you all know that I am still here before the dust started to settle in this lovely place. (We will have none of that) Today I logged on to see that "Not Exactly Plain Jane" has over 2100 views, which is absolutely INSANE. So if you are new, "Hello and thank you for reading, I hope you continue to follow and enjoy!" and if you are old (just kidding) if you are a regular reader, "Hey! How are you? Thanks for taking the time to read!"

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Xx

An Odd Christmas: Blogmas
So my final blogmas post should have come yesterday, put yesterday definitely did not go as planned! Instead of waking up and opening presents and then going to have lunch with my family, I woke up at 12 am feeling awful and spent the whole rest of the day sleeping or watching random bits of things on tv. Ideal Christmas? I think not. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I did receive some lovely gifts though and wanted to share them with you, so just rewind and pretend today is the happy delightful day that yesterday should have been! I hope you had a nice Christmas or whatever you celebrate, and if you don't celebrate anything, hopefully yesterday was just a nice day for you! Also thank you to everybody who read my blogmas posts, it really means a lot to me, and I hope you will continue to follow the blog! Xx
All of the pictures (besides this one) I took with this beaut! I love this camera! It has built in wifi which makes transferring any pictures I take for posts super easy:)
My favorite!
If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. Besides being a classic story, the settings and the costumes are gorgeous.

I just wanted to say a quick little thank you to anyone who has looked at one of my posts or all of them, even if you just looked at the pictures:) I am enjoying this blog and have many more posts planned.
