Happy 4th of July!

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: 4th of july, bubbles, carsyn, dustyn, summer

I used this free layout from Live and Love Out Loud made my Kristy. I love it!

I got this layout from Sarah at 2 Paws Designs. She has a bunch of digital scrap booking freebies.

The boys and I had a bunch of fun with our new bubble machine. It was nice not having to blow so many bubbles.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

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. 🙌🏼
