Scavenger Hunt Sunday | 06.03.12

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Hello sweet friends!! I hope you all are having a great weekend. We are having LOVELY weather this weekend. I am really enjoying it before it gets really hot this Summer. Have a wonderful Sunday and see you back here tomorrow for Project 366 Rewind.

Shine

Sun shine at my new favorite photo shoot location. So gorgeous there. I will share photos I took there after Father’s Day. If you follow me on instagram under the name Sarah Halstead you can see some of them.

Fast

Every year in June we have the boat races come to town. Here are some fast boats we got to watch. The boys enjoyed it but there was so much time between the races that the boys got restless.

Left

Dustyn holding Kenny’s left hand, balancing on his left foot on the skateboard.

Peace

I think I am finally feeling peace about his future. I worry so much about what he should be doing and forget to enjoy the little things. He was so excited that he got to ride on the skateboard. Linking this one up with The Paper Mama

Plain

This was also taken at my new favorite spot. I love how simple and plain this is, but it is so gorgeous!

    WOW!! Sarah, your shots are gorgeous! I was planning to choose a favourite or two but that's not possible. I LOVE Shine... I would fall in love with a place like that too. Fast is brilliant! Left is so sweet (Dad's and kids always touch my heart deeply because my kids never had that). Peace... there is so much to say about this. You inspire me greatly. It would be easy to worry about Carsyn's future but it's great that you are at peace. He has such an infectious nature & your images of him both here and on Instagram make me smile every day. He has such a beatiful smile. And your Plain... gorgeous!
  37. Ashley Sisk says

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. 🙌🏼
