In a few days, 2017 will be here. I’m taking the time today to say thank you to every single one of you who have been following my blog and social media outlets. An especially big thank you to those of you who support my storenvy or etsy shops and eternal thanks for my patrons. Without you, this blog would probably exist but certainly wouldn’t be as much fun or as consistent.

I’ve learned so much this year about running a blog and business and I’ve learned even more about myself. I can’t wait to see what opportunities 2017 brings. It’s definitely been a rough year at times but I always hope for the next year to be better. I do worry about the future, given the state of things in the world right now, but if we all stick together and keep fighting what what we believe is right, for our freedoms and our friends, we can do amazing things together.

I write tons of different posts, as you all well know but what I don’t know is what you actually want to read about. I need your input to make this blog more interesting to you. So what brought you all here? Why did you stay? And what post are the most interesting to you? What keeps you coming back?

You’ve got until Jan. 20th to complete the poll before it closes. You should be able to input your own answers into the poll but if not, drop me an email to let me know if you have specific thoughts. And, of course, as much as I love input and you all, I’m still going to do what I want (I wouldn’t be me otherwise!). But your input definitely matters and helps me create better posts.

Again, thank you so much for such a great 2016. I hope 2017 brings you peace, joy, safety, and security. Much love and many thanks.
