We finally put up our Christmas tree on Friday. This was a happy accident. I was doing different settings with the bokeh and my hand got shaky, but made little hearts. I thought it was neat looking.

a clock we have in our home. I used Kim Klassen’s free texture that she shared with us and I added the “Time Stands Still” because this clock doesn’t actually work.

Everyday?

I will be spending everyday learning how to use my new camera. Yippee!! It is here! This was at 1600 ISO way less noise then my old camera. I have a lot to learn but love it so far!

I can’t believe I actually had a week without a picture of the boys. Crazy.  Hope everyone has a good week. I have a busy day today, but I will try and visit everyone when I get back.

    I am loving your pictures, especially the before and afters of the little girl in the chair. I am just a mom and I basically, well, take the worst photographs EVER! I really didn't understand what tha "coffee shop" and pioneer woman stuff was. Photo editing? I have tried working with those free photo editing things but cant seem to get it going. Any tips? Is all that stuff you use(the words on your photos/the editing from Photoshop? Sorry so many questions. Love your husbands toy.

    Lovely photos Sarah and it's great news that you finally got your camera. My youngest teen has a toy like that - it spent 11 months in the box and he is only starting to learn how to fly it now but our rooms are not big enough with him damaging the furniture. I was sure you had put something over your lens to get that bokeh effect.

    Super D Duper! I love the new look (so festive!), and of course, the fabulous pictures! Great job! By the way, did I miss something? Oops. You got a new Nikon, but which one did you get? How is it holding up for ya? There's nothing better than getting new toys! I'm going to try to purchase the Canon 7D in a couple/few months (if I don't chicken out first). Wish me luck!

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.

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. 🙌🏼
