Scavenger Hunt Sunday {1/9/11}

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Hope everyone has had a wonderful week/weekend. It was a little emotional for me.  Also exciting because I reached 250 followers. Don’t forget about the giveaway it ends tomorrow.  I also started my new Project 365 Linky that is open until Tuesday and a new linky with Whitney & Marah called Momtographer Monday. So make sure you come back tomorrow for that. It has been such a great and interesting first week of the new year. Thanks for stopping by. I am linking up with Ashley Sisk for Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

This is ME

Resolutions

The Paper Camera Resolutions. I really need to start eating healthier and being a better example for the boys.
Photography love...

Treasured

This little boy is sooo Treasured. I don’t know what we would do without him. The Paper Mama: Resolutions. I will help Carsyn get his motor skills caught up this year.

The Paper Mama

Innocence

He looks really innocent doesn’t he?

Primitive

A primitive decoration sign that I got the other day. It is hanging abovt my laundry room door.

I will be away from my computer all day, so I will try and visit everyone tonight or tomorrow. Have a great day!

    I love those hats you have on your boys! :) Great shots, Sarah. :) (I've been thinking about you and Carsyn and I was wondering if you might have something similar to PEKIP where you live. Do check it out. It's all about sensory integration and maybe it might help... and it's actually fun to do, too.

    I LOVE the resolutions one....the grainy quality is so cool! Do you use Photoshop for your post-processing?....i am asking for (and hopefully hopefully getting) this for my April bday! Can. Not. Wait!

    Thanks! I am totally diggin' the crocheted hats. How cute are THEY?! Where did you get those monthly milestone stickers, and do they come in higher numbers such as 18 months, 22 months, etc.? If so, hit me up. I love little things like that, and I might as well look into it before Liam outgrows them. I don't think he'll appreciate wearing them for his 16-year-old pictures. Ha! Talk soon!

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. 🙌🏼
