Scavenger Hunt Sunday {01/16/2011}

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Thanks for stopping by today. I thoroughly enjoy doing Scavenger Hunt each week. It is a good challenge to promote creativity. I had a great time walking around our land today taking photos. It was almost 50 degrees today, so not bad at all. If you can believe I actually don’t have ANY photos of the boys this week. Crazy! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and rest of your week. Don’t forget to link up with my Project 365. That linky will be open until Tuesday at midnight. I had a busy weekend, hopefully I will get some posts up about it this week sometime.

Oh by the way I wanted to let everyone know that Carsyn’s REAL evaluation is next Thursday at 3pm. Please continue to pray for us. I am hoping we will get some answers soon and that we can get him on the road to catching up. Thanks again for all your support it really means a lot to me. I am sorry I haven’t been able to write you all back individually.

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. 🙌🏼
