Hydrangea Girl turns three

Today is a special day for me and my silly website. It all started three years ago when I wrote a pretty awkward first blog post, ‘In the beginning‘. For the first year I blogged about other people’s stuff – designs, finds, homes and projects. It wasn’t until a year later that I started writing about things I designed, stuff around our apartment as well as share things I made. Blood, sweat, tears and paint have since been poured into my passion for blogging. Thanks to my site I’ve been offered some sweet effing opportunities, which I am forever grateful / in a magical state of disbelief.

My website also pushes me to write better, improve my ‘photography skills’, commit to ideas, meet deadlines and encourage my creativity. It’s my little corner of the internet machine that I’m proud to call home. I can’t write this blog post without mentioning the thoughtful and solid support from you guys. Encouraging me, being supportive and just understanding me and my stupid stuff. If it weren’t for you guys clicking away, Hydrangea Girl wouldn’t be here. Right. No more mushy stuff.
This year I celebrated with a fancy cupcake {which was shoved into my gaping face region mere moments after this photo}, and I also treated myself to a pretty awesome accessory … 

I had been itching for a custom necklace for a while. I figured, if Carrie Bradshaw can do it, so can I. I got in contact with the lovely Elise of Glitterbomb jewelry who was able to meet my custom request of a blog header necklace. She had the exact type as I use on my blog, and I am blown away by how perfect it is. It arrived just in time this morning and I will be rocking it all day today. Big time. 

To another three years, minimum. xx A

      Thanks Pat 🙂 Yeah, it only dawned on me the other day when I went through all my blog posts, and I realized I didn't share one picture of our home until at least 1 year in. If only I had started earlier … Incomprehenbable!
