Hi, Liz!
My name is Keziah and I found your blog through a fellow blogger friend of mine, Chloe Mali. 😀
I just thought that I would tell you how much I love your blog! It sounds like you were very busy in December of 2018! Mind if I steal your idea for posting what you did each month and use it on my won blog?
I also wanted to bring up photography – I am an avid photographer myself and am so excited to meet another photographer, as well as a fellow Christian! Glad to have found your blog. 🙂

Hello Keziah! 🙂 Oh yeah, Chloe’s blog is awesome! 😀

Ooh, really? Fun! How long have you been doing photography? 🙂
Thank you! 😀
Hi, Liz!
Her blog is amazing!!
Thanks so much! That was such a great idea of your’s. 😀
I got my first camera when I was 8 or 9 and have been photographing ever since. I did my first photo session last year and plan to someday have a business! How about you? What do you enjoy photographing?
Oh, how cool! 😀 I enjoy that I can capture memories! 🙂 Not sure if I’ll ever turn photography into a business for myself, but I still find it fun! 😉
Sorry, I just realized I commented twice. XD
Haha, that’s fine! 😉
Looks like an awesome month! Gj with those goals 😉 Hehe I love chaotic video chats. *raises hand* guess who played a tonnnn of piano in December as well… OH NOOO you were so close to midnighttt *sniff sniff*
