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

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all are having a lovely day. This will be another busy day away from home. We are going to sweet Ethan’s Angel Day at the pumpkin patch and going to visit family. I will try and visit you all soon! Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Words

This is by the county wells next to our property. I love how the pixel bender made it look like water.

Under

I was standing under this. Not sure what it is, but it is neat looking.

Photography love...

Orange

Orange leaf, jacket, owl nose and shirt. He he. 🙂

    The Paper Mama

Fly

From the archives. Had to share though. Too perfect.

Always Look on the Bright Side

This tree had fallen, but it sure did make for a lovely photo.

    Great series of photos. That "Fly" was perfect and a great Macro shot. - Loved the editing on the Words photo (very cool effect), The Orange was great, especially the little cutie. Pretty bush for the Under photo and lovely shot of the sun through the leaves for your "Bright Side" shot.

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. 😆

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. 🙌🏼
