Scavenger Hunt Sunday {07/24/11}

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

With all that has been going on the past week and preparing to take a week off blogging I did not take new pictures for Scavenger Hunt Sunday. So this Sunday, just because I still wanted to participate, I thought it would be fun to do a “Flashback Scavenger Hunt Sunday”. I went hunting through my archives for these and had a lot of fun re-editing them.

 Music to My Ears

Carsyn’s laugh is Music to my Ears. I love, love, love hearing him laugh. Especially when he is laughing with or at Dustyn.

Hat

One of my favorite pictures of Dustyn. He had just gotten this Monster Truck hat and face painting. He thought it was so neat.

Clear

 I love how crisp and clear her eye is. I used a new FREE Ruby action from this action set. Thanks Sarah for sharing them.

Out of this World

 I took this one quite literally. ha ha.

Sprinkles

 Sprinkles on the ice cream we made.

Today is our 7 Year Wedding Anniversary. I do have a post scheduled for that later. We are going to the cheesecake Factory. I can not wait! I have never been before.  I hope everyone has a great week. I will be back Saturday, but I have some wonderful guest posters scheduled for this whole week.  Enjoy!

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. 🙌🏼
