I can hardly believe today is my One Year Anniversary of starting this blog. The time has honestly gone by so quickly. I have always been a creative person, going to school and practicing Landscape Architecture, doing lots of DIY at our home, painting, gardening, opening an Etsy Store, etc. But nothing has brought me such creative joy as working on this blog, Delineate Your Dwelling.
I adore every aspect of it.
I stay up every single night, later than I’d like to admit because I just can’t stop.
I have found such happiness from all of you, my readers. (I’m still in awe that anyone is even reading this blog.)
I love connecting with such amazing and talented people.
I love being inspired by YOU and your creativity.
I love working on projects for my home and being able to hopefully share how easy personalizing your home can be.
I love doing the graphics for my posts.
I love promoting and marketing my blog.
I love it all.
I honestly would not be where I am and have the opportunities that I have started have come my way, had it not been for all of your constant support and encouragement. I feel as if this creative side in me has always been present, but has truly bloomed since I’ve started this blog.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi I just found you but I am here to stay!Love your DIY posts.
I haven’t been following for very long, but out of your recent posts one that really caught my eye was the scrapbook paper house (because I have lots of scrapbook paper, but am slowly realizing that I am just not a scrapbook person).

I just got introduced to this fab blog recently and I couldn’t be happier that I did. I have been perusing back through some older posts and what catches my eye every time are the knock off DIY posts. I’m moving soon and I cannot wait to take some of these cute ideas (especially that West Elm Geo Print DIY) to my new place. xoxox
