Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Thanks for stopping by. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Dustyn is going for his 1st Dentist appointment today, look out for pictures. Then after that we are going to meet Kelly at the Aquarium. I am sooo excited. We have been looking forward to this since the boys were in our bellies. We actually live just over an hour away, so maybe after this we can hang out more.

Then tomorrow we are going to go to the truck and tractor pulls. I think Dustyn will have a blast. He loves anything that moves.  I am looking forward to our fun, family filled weekend. Don’t forget to link up with Project 365 tomorrow.

Okay I looked at this several times I took this late in the day, the sun was set for the most part. I think those white specks are stars, but not sure. I was thinking maybe my lens was dirty but no other photos had them on it.

Skywatch Friday

Waiting for his appointment yesterday. You can read about it here. I love little baby feet.

I was not organized to do Ashley's and the 365 on the same day... but this week I have it down! anyway.. I need to look at your 365... but... I am nervous doing too many and not being able to visit very many of the participants... I already can't keep up with the 100 plus on Ashley's!! ha ha! what to do what to do?!! I love your blog too! =) I also keep meaning to link to the sky watch... I love that one! =) anyway... I will be back to peek at your 365 tomorrow?!? =)

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. 🙌🏼
