Scavenger Hunt Sunday | 08.12.12

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Hey everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. Ours has been pretty lazy so far. We just hung around the house Saturday and I did go out while Carsyn was napping and got a manicure and a pedicure. That was really nice! Have a great Sunday and make sure you come back this week. We have a lot of giveaways coming up.

Mobile

Took and edited these all on my mobile phone yesterday. I tried out a new app called Top Camera. They have a free version that is pretty cool. It does Low Resolution photo so if you take photos with your iPhone to print out you would probably want to pay for it.

Hanging by a Thread

This spider was actually hanging by a thread.  Which I thought was pretty neat. I looked up and just saw this itsy, bitsy spider crawling up a single piece of web.

Collage

A collage of sweet Gabrielle. Love how adorable she is!

Look on the Bright Side

I love to look on the bright side. Especially when it comes to Carsyn and his special needs. I really have to, to survive. I love looking at sunsets and realizing that God made everything (including Carsyn) just how he wanted them to be made. I was chosen to be Carsyn’s mom and I feel really special that God entrusted me with sweet Carsyn.

Home

This was happening in our home Friday night. It was so sweet to see them playing together. Dustyn has his very own guitar, pedal and amp. He thinks it is the greatest.

This is Paper Heart Cameras theme this week. Make sure you head over there and link up also.

Those are my photos for this week. Can’t wait to see what you picked for your photos. Have a wonderful week!!

Linking up with Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Little Bits of Happiness, A Rural Journal, Simple Things, Sunday Snapshot, Macro Monday.

    Great shots Sarah! When I saw that top right shot of you on IG and I was thinking how you can really tell how much your youngest looks like you from that picture. He has your eyes. That collage of Garielle is adorable.

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. 🙌🏼
