Friday Treat Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Summer Treats

The homemade Ice Cream of course.

Grace Loves the Beatles

I made these for Play Group yesterday. Yummy! They were Sugar Cookie Pops.

    Blogging from Bolivia 

I took this photo a couple nights ago and used the Warm Sunset Dusk free Lightroom Preset. This is my favorite photo of the week because I love the colors and the clouds are so dreamy.

Favorite Fridays at Skinned Knees

Skywatch Friday

Also check out what Dustyn got last night. He loves it. He may be just a tensy, tiny bit spoiled. Ha ha!

Can’t wait to take photos and video during the day tomorrow.

Give me your best shot at Better in Bulk  PhotoStory Friday  

One more for Live Every Moments Summer Challenge and for Foto Friday’s Water Challenge. This was the second time at this pool. I still need to share all those shots. Carsyn loves the water.

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. 😆

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. 🙌🏼
