Don’t Follow… {WW #23}

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

… where the path may lead. Go where there is no path and leave a trail.

– George Bernard Shaw

Kenny’s mom and step-dad have a few horses behind their house. They take care of them every now and then for the owners. Dustyn and Carsyn had a lot of fun petting them and feeding them. I had fun taking photos. I still have a couple to share later this week.

Our guest judge for Edit Me this week is Marilyn from The ArtsyGirl Connection. I can not wait to see what you do with her photo. The linky will open on the Edit Me Challenge blog first thing Wednesday morning! Here is the photo to edit (click the photo to download a large copy to edit):

Thanks for stopping by for wordless wednesday. Have a great week.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

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. 🙌🏼
