Scavenger Hunt Sunday {12.11.2011}

Filed Under: Photography

Hello, hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. I have been busy with Christmas photos shoots. You can see some of my photos on my facebook page. Today Carsyn turns 19 months old. It is just crazy how fast this time is going. Only 5 more months and he will be 2 years old. I will be sure to take photos and post an update soon.

Less is More

I just love the simplicity of this ornament. It means so much to me. My best friend that lives in Kansas gave it to me. She will be visiting soon. Can’t wait to see her!

Holiday Lights

Yay for more bokeh. You can never have enough.

Ornaments

Our snowman ornaments.

Cup of Cheer

Shared this one already but a cup of hot chocolate or hot apple cider always brings a smile to my face.

Nativity

I know it isn’t exactly nativity, but it is the birth of Jesus.

Did you notice all of my photos had parts of my Christmas tree in it? He he. I am smooth. Have a great Sunday and I will be by to visit as soon as I can.

    Oh my! Your photos are just gorgeous. I desperately wish I had a dslr. I love your new blog look too! The downfall of reading blogs on my phone is I miss seeing makeovers. Great job.

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. 🙌🏼
