Scavenger Hunt Sunday {04.01.12}

Filed Under: Photography

Before we get to today’s Scavenger Hunt Sunday, I wanted to make a little announcement. I have decided to stop blogging… Hard to come to this decision but I have just been too stressed and busy. I am going to miss you all.

Clouds

iPhone shot of clouds while riding in the car.

Sun Flare

Sunflare through the tree leaves.

Seven

Seven pretty, little, purple flowers.

High Angle

Looking up a power pole.

Low Angle

I laid on the ground to get this photo. Love the spider web and bokeh.

Let’s see who is paying attention. APRIL FOOLS!! You know I could never quit blogging. He he!!

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

    Love them all. I have to admit you had me last night when I glanced on my phone. I didn't scroll all the way down though so I didn't read April Fools. And this morning when I went to get on blogger and re-read this I thought, wait I bet that was April fools :) I knew you wouldn't just stop blogging!!

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. 😆

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. 🙌🏼
