OK my friends…
Today I am turning 37 and I want to thank you for making my 36th year
one of the best years of my life.
The 36th Avenue is more than a blog to me it is the celebration of a year of change.
I was not the happiest 35 year old woman… if I tell you the truth I was miserable and the day before my 36th birthday I said ENOUGH.
I realized lying down in bed that I was tired of waiting, of looking at life through someone else’s eyes…
I wanted to dream my own dreams,
I wanted to create my own things,
I wanted to explore and become me again.
Just like that The 36th AVENUE was born at the same time I turned 36.
I wanted to have a place that would always remind me that we can become a better version of ourselves.
I wanted it to be a place where every woman and man { I wonder how many men are here… two? } could find and share inspiration.
I wanted it to be a place where we could walk together and share not just our creativity
but even a piece of who we are.
I wanted to share my heart with you and you changed me for the better in the process.
You have made this last year so special… a moment in my life that I will never forget.
I believe with all of my heart that The 36th Avenue has grown this much in a year because of you…
because of your desire to share with me.
We have done a bunch of great things together!
Now I am looking forward to be 37!
I will post later on about my theme for this year… Darn it I can’t wait to live it!
In all honesty I want you my readers to know that I love you guys…
Thank you so much for loving me back!
Thank you for opening your arms and hearts to me…
I never knew I had so many friends all around the world.
So today while I blow out my 37 candles I will say
Thank You to you all because you made my 36th year wishes come true!

Becky my love… you brought tears to my eyes.
I love creating and doing home projects but nothing comes close to the joy I feel when I hear from those that come and visit with me.
I want to let you know that your comment touched my heart… from now on every time I write I will think that there is a Becky Smith out there perhaps needing a little sunshine.
Is that not a beautiful thing? So far and so close at the same time. Love it!
You take care of yourself my sweet friend…♥
Besos to you!

Krsiten three words for you: I LOVE YOU!
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy it!
Congratulations and Happy Birthday, I have not been following for long but I really enjoy your blog. I have one question, did you design your blog yourself? because I really like the look and fell of it.
Enjoy your day
Say what? You are only 1 year in! That is amazing. You have done an awesome job and it shows in your success. I love the reason you started your blog and I feel the same way. We are/were in the middle of a huge remodel that has left me camping from in my house (I’ve been washing dishes in a bucket for over 6 months now but am mere weeks from a real-woman kitchen). I needed somewhere that I could make pretty and control when so much around me is a mess. I’m so inspired to work harder to get where you are at my year mark. Congrats and HAPPY BIRFFDAY!
Thank you Melissa… keep it up girl!
happy birthday! hope you have the best one yet!
Happy Birthday Desiree! The best is yet to come!
