Scavenger Hunt Sunday | 02.26.12

Filed Under: Family, Photography

 

Crossed

The kids at Dustyn’s party had so much crossing off the pictures and playing Bingo. I got the game from Ebay. If you use the code NAPTIME in the comments section when you order them he will refund 25% of the cost of the Bingo cards to you. The kids loved it and we kept playing until they all got blackout.

A Glimpse

To me Dustyn looks so grown up in this picture. It gives me a glimpse into what he is going to look like when he grows up.

Handwritten

 Dustyn’s name handwritten on his cake. Not my hand writing but his great grandmas. His great grandma baked the cake and the Angry Birds and stuff came from Crumby Art.I will be having a WHOLE series of posts about Dustyn’s party and where I got all the great stuff.

Bliss

Seeing my boys playing together is pure bliss. It makes me feel so good to see what an awesome big brother Dustyn is to Carsyn.

Gray

The picture may be gray but his smile sure brightens any gray day. I know I shared this picture on Friday but I had to share it again. So sweet.

Linking up with Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Simple Things, Sunday Snapshot, Macro Monday, and then she snapped

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. 🙌🏼
