8/20/24: How long have you been blogging? And has your blog changed over time?
Oh my. I have been blogging for........*has to search* about 2009. I had an old blog that I scraped and started this one in 2011. From there it is history!
I did a lot more variety of posts thus why it is called Carole Rae's Random Ramblings. I reviewed music and did fun stuff like make dream casts of books WHICH I have been itching to maybe bring back. Or like writing challenges. Oooo I miss those.
Mainly now I just review books, audiobooks, and movies. I'll do the occasional TMST post or Wordless Wednesday or share a guest post. Occasionally I'll share a little poem I've whipped up, but that happens less and less each year. Doesn't happen as much as I would like because life is busy.
The look of the blog has changed a few times. This format has stayed the same for a while though because I love the painting my friend did for me (yesss my friend did the feather image - she is so talented). I now use that image for my discord page so it all ties in together in a way so I don't see myself changing this image or look anytime in the foreseeable future.
All-in-all even with all the eras of this blog, I still love my little space on the internet. Of course, I want it to be successful, but at the end of the day I mainly blog for me so I post what makes me happy.

yes I wrote for other blogs from 2013-2017. Then in 2017 I started my own blog. The other 2 blogs stopped posting or I am sure I would have stayed with them. But it's been good to develop some of my own Memes and host or co-host some Challenges.

YES... blogging just to be happy! That's my current era.
Omg I can not remember you doing dream casts, but that sounds fun!!!
I was in a group blog too at one point but I bounced because I wasn't liking the vibe of the team.
Best era ever!
Might've been before you became my blog bestie! I should bring it back
I didn't realize you were a blogging senior. LOL I can't remember when I started following, but you were doing writing and your reviews, for sure. I've always loved your feather design and wondered if you did it. What a great friend to make it for you!
Yesss my friend Ciara is an amazing painter. Awwwww! I am so glad we found each other though! I love your blog and your reviews. And you are so sweet!
