Scavenger Hunt Sunday | 04.08.12

Filed Under: Photography

First of all I want to wish you a Happy Easter!!! Hope you all have a great time with your families. We will be gone visiting three different places after church. It will be a busy day then tomorrow we are heading to Raleigh for Carsyn’s neurologist and endocrinologist appointments. Hopefully everything will go good.

 

New

Brand new baby leaves! I love baby leaves. They are so adorable.

Life

Dustyn and Carsyn got to see ducks in real life. It was so cool to see their faces. The ducks kept following us around.

Fragrant

I know you all have seen apple blossoms this past week on the blog but they are fragrant. At least I edited it different.

Pink

Pink azalea flowers. Love the haze I got in this photo.

Obvious

It is obvious that Dustyn loves his brother. I am so happy I captured this photo while taking their Easter photos. So very 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. 🙌🏼
