Scavenger Hunt Sunday {12.26.10}

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

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. If you read my post yesterday, I wanted to let you know Carsyn has not had anymore holding his breath episodes. I really think it may have just been something he ate that upset his tummy. Or something along that line. Without further ado here are my Scavenger Hunt Sunday Photos.

    BTW, I am planning to post the top 10 photos on Thursday, so I will send you the linky. I don't have internet connection (right now) on my laptop, so hopefully I will have time to get a banner made. I haven't recieved all of the photos of the kids, so I am planning to do something simple. Pass the word along....I posted a little announcement on my blog, so hopefully some people will link up.

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. 🙌🏼
