A Lost Monkey & A Yellow Bus?

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: zander

My boys have been obsessed with Curious George lately. We watch “Follow That Monkey” at least once a day. It is ridiculous. The good thing is I really love monkeys and the music is pretty catchy. Anyways… moving on. Well you all know how I had Zander a while back? Well I came across a few lost photos that I never edited. They were a couple of my favorites too.

    Aw, Zander is so cute. I'm loving that shot of Dustyn splashing in the pool. Great edit! Thanks for being such a faithful participant in the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge. Alicia and I have really enjoyed looking at your photos each week and we can't wait to see what you come up with next week for our "bubbles" theme. Hope you and the boys have a great weekend. :)

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
