Happy weekend to everyone! Well, as you can tell from the title of this post, it is my 6 -month blogoversary! What is that you say? It is only 6 months, so what are you celebrating for? It’s no big deal!
Ευτυχισμένο το Σαββατοκύριακο σε όλους και καλό Δεκαπενταύγουστο! Λοιπόν, όπως μπορείτε να διακρίνετε από τον τίτλο αυτής της ημέρας, είναι το εξάμηνο επέτειος για το blog μου – blogiversary! Τι είναι αυτά που λες; Είναι μόνο 6 μήνες, οπότε για τι γιορτάζουμε; Δεν είναι μεγάλη υπόθεση!
You are wrong my friend!! These last six months have felt more like a year to me. If anyone had told me that there would be so much work involved in running a blog, I would not have believed them! This is more than a full time job! So yes, it is a big deal, and here are the reasons why:
- First and foremost, I am doing what I love, which is saving things from garbage dumpsters.
- My creativity has skyrocketed. I am thinking outside the box and constantly jotting down ideas. I even dream about projects I want to complete.
- I get to do so many things and wear so many hats. Writer ( not very good but trying – have I found my voice yet? ), Photographer (again working on that one), Editor ( thank God for Picmonkey and my daughter) PR person??
- And of course DIYer. I am constantly learning about painting, new techniques and how to make materials I need, because I do live “In the boondocks” where much is not available.
- And the icing on the cake. I have met so many wonderful bloggers out there who have been so supportive and generous with their advice and help. They have welcomed me with open arms and have made me feel at home.
So celebrate with me in my joy and happiness to have found this wonderful occupation (would we even call it that?). And also for having carved out this cocoon where I can be myself and shut the door on the outside world, with all of its economic catastrophes and idiotic politicians.
Κάνεις λάθος φίλε μου!! Αυτοί οι τελευταίοι έξι μήνες έχουν αισθανθεί περισσότερο σαν ένα χρόνο για μένα. Αν κάποιος μου είχε πει ότι θα υπήρχε τόση πολλή δουλειά που εμπλέκονται στη λειτουργία ένα blog, δεν θα το είχα πιστέψει! Αυτό είναι κάτι περισσότερο από μια πλήρους απασχόλησης εργασία! Οπότε ναι, αυτό είναι μια μεγάλη υπόθεση, και εδώ είναι οι λόγοι:
- Πρώτον και κύριον, κάνω αυτό που αγαπώ, η οποία είναι η εξοικονόμηση πραγμάτων από σίγουρο θάνατο.
- Η δημιουργικότητα μου έχει εκτιναχθεί στα ύψη. Σκέφτομαι έξω από το κουτί και συνεχώς καταγράφω τις ιδέες μου. Εγώ ακόμη ονειρεύομαι έργα που θέλω να ολοκληρώσω.
- Κάνω τόσα πολλά πράγματα και φοράω τόσα πολλά καπέλα. Συγγραφέας (δεν είμαι πολύ καλή, αλλά προσπαθώ – έχω βρει τη φωνή μου ακόμα;), Φωτογράφος (και πάλι εργάζονται να βελτιωθώ), Επιμελητής (δόξα τω Θεό για Picmonkey) Δημόσιες σχέσεις??
- Και φυσικά “Καν το μόνος σου” DIYer. Συνέχεια μαθαίνω για τη ζωγραφική, νέες τεχνικές και πώς να κάνει τα υλικά που χρειάζομαι, γιατί ζω “Στα boondocks”, δηλαδή στην επαρχία όπου πολλά δεν είναι διαθέσιμα.
- Και το κερασάκι στην τούρτα. Έχω γνωρίσει τόσους πολλούς θαυμάσιους bloggers εκεί έξω που υπήρξαν υποστηρικτικές και γενναιόδωροι με τις συμβουλές και τη βοήθειά τους. Με καλωσόρισαν με ανοιχτές αγκάλες και με έκαναν να αισθανθώ σαν στο σπίτι μου.
Έτσι γιορτάσετε μαζί μου στη χαρά και την ευτυχία μου που ανακάλυψα αυτό το υπέροχο επάγγελμα (έτσι δεν το λέμε;). Και, επίσης, για το γεγονός ότι χάραξα αυτό το καταφύγιο όπου μπορώ να είμαι ο εαυτός μου, να κλείνω την πόρτα στον έξω κόσμο, με τις οικονομικές καταστροφές και ηλίθιους πολιτικούς.
It’s been exciting for me to share my thoughts with you on my six month Blogoversary. Thanks to everyone who has been visiting and giving me some of their time.
Σας ευχαριστώ όλους που έχετε επισκεφθεί και μου δίνετε λίγο από το χρόνο σας.

Thanks Nikki, I feel the same way. Blogging is such a rewarding experience. I keep on telling my kids, I have the best job in the world, and they look at me, exhausted but with a big smile on my face.

Congratulations on 6 months! I started blogging full time around January, and I can't believe how much work it has been either! I haven't been able to put in a lot of time, but I sure enjoy writing and finding new bloggers when I can.
