Scavenger Hunt Sunday

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

Been awhile since I have done a Scavenger Hunt Sunday but I have missed it! I wanted to participate this week because one of the items is to do one of my Fall Bucket List items. You can also link up with us here. We do a link up every Thursday if you want to join us.

Water Drops or Water Flowing

Dustyn “cleaning” the backdoor with water.

Faithfulness

If this doesn’t remind you of God’s faithfulness I don’t know what would. I have really been enjoying taking photos at the sunflower field. I posted more on my facebook page.

Then and Now

Pretty self explanatory but Carsyn loved swinging then and he loves swinging now. My photography has also improved from then to now.

Fingertips

Showing me his rock, though I focused on his eyes not his fingertips.

One Item from the Fall Bucket List

My fall bucket list item this week was to go to a fair. I shared more photos here.

We are going to a fun soup party. Everyone is bringing different soups. Should be a fun day. Have a wonderful Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!

Linking up with Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Little Bits of Happiness, A Rural Journal, Simple Things, Sunday Snapshot, Macro Monday, and then she snapped

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. 🙌🏼
