Scavenger Hunt Sunday {11.27.11}

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I have not had the time for Scavenger Hunt Sunday and I have missed it. I decided to join in this week. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great time with your family.

Waiting

Carsyn waiting to be picked back up. He sat up for a long time but then just fell over. He was so cute. Will share more soon!

Foliage

From my photo shoot yesterday. You can see more here. This was in our woods. I just love all the color of the foliage.

Candid

From a shoot last weekend. After taking a nice family photo I told the kids to throw some leaves at mom and dad. It was so cute and candid. You can see more here.

Knife Fork or Spoon

This is actually an iPhone shot.  I had apple pie for breakfast yesterday. It was so yummy.

Rule of Thirds

Most of the time I follow the rule of thirds either when taking the photo or in post processing. I love this shot of Dusytn in action. He has a blast playing in the leaves.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

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. 🙌🏼
