Scavenger Hunt Sunday | 08.05.12

Filed Under: Photography

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? I am doing great. We have been busy again. When will life slow down? Anyways I wanted to let you all know that I opened a Store to sell my prints! I am excited and nervous. Excited because I finally took the plunge. Nervous that no one actually likes my photos and wont buy them. I know several people said on here they wanted prints but not sure who they were and if they were just being nice. If you want to buy something, use the code “newstore20” to get 20% off on all items. Anyways here is one of my favorites in my shop.

If you have a photo that you would like to have printed let me know and I will add it to the store. Thanks everyone for your support!

Going Back in Time

Took this photo at our Family Reunion. I made the photo feel like you are going back in time.

Something Just for Me

Photography is something just for me. I love having that time to do my own thing. Favorite photo from this past weekend. Linking this photo up for Paper Heart Camera tree theme this week.

Best Part of My Day

Best part of my day is seeing this little guy smile. I love him!

Night & Day

Took this one from the archives. I wanted to do something a little different then the traditional. This groom and brides clothes are like night & day.

Look Up

I went outside during “golden hour” the other night and looked up and saw all these dragonflys flying around. I thought it looked so neat.

That is it for this week. If you do have a moment to spare I would like to have you check out my new shop and let me know what you think. I will be forever grateful. Also, please, please, please be honest with me. Feel free to email me and let me know what you think. Thank you!!

Linking up with Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Little Bits of Happiness, A Rural Journal, Simple Things, Sunday Snapshot, Macro Monday.

    Such great choices for each prompt, but the one of Carsyn in the swing is my favorite--such a sweet smile! :D

    Beautiful series. The shot of your little one is my favorite, besides the fact that he is so adorable I love the bokeh. Is that spider a common spider, I captured one on Sunday and posted it today for Macro Monday? I have to admit though that your shot is much nicer than mine. :D

    Hey, good luck with the store. I have an etsy store for some prints, but so far, no one is biting. Perhaps the market is flooded. I wish you all the best though. Thank you for sharing at YSB this week. Truly appreciated.

    Awesome set and congrats on your print venture! Love Carsyn's smile. What a happy boy! Love the spider. We have those near late summer too, and we always call them Charlotte. Towards fall she will get big and lay her egg sack...which is really neat. Neat looking up shot too!

    Love the spider pic, and that little guy just gets cuter! I almost used a very similar pic for look up, although that sky you got is much more interesting than mine, but there were literally a hundred of them! Nice captures Sarah!
  23. Karen says

    August 5, 2012 at 12:32 am

    Best of luck on your new venture! Your photos are always gorgeous :) That spider and its web are amazing. It really stands out against the dark green. I can certainly see why you chose your Best Part of the Day photo....that smile makes me swoon :)

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. 🙌🏼
