Friday Fun

Filed Under: Photography

First of all I want to say Thank You to everyone for your sweet words and encouragement yesterday. I stopped researching online and I am going to trust that God is in control. I am also thankful that Carsyn will be getting help. I am grateful to have Carsyn in my life. I love him so much.

Entering this first photo into Foto Friday, Macro Friday, Flowers on Saturday and Live Every Moments photo challenge. Fresh blooms on an indoor cactus.


Entering this one for Sky Watch Friday and Photo Story Friday. I promise this is the last photo from our New Years day at Kenny’s moms house. See the ducks in the water?

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway! I am giving away an 11 x 14 print and a newborn pixie hat. Which makes a great photography prop.

    I love the sunset with the reflection on the water...beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, amazing...okay, I'm done. :-) Yes, I need help re-importing. The only way I know how, at this point, is to re-load Disgise (sp?), which I don't want to right now. So, how do you get the comments to show up again through Blogger? Thanks, Sarah!!

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. 🙌🏼
