Scavenger Hunt Sunday {3.25.12}

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

I hope you all had a great weekend. We have been busy enjoying the weather and getting stuff done around the house. Maybe we will actually put it on the market soon. If you could will you please pray with us so we know what God has planned for us. Thank you!

Whimsy

To me dandelions are so whimsical. I love the haze and light in this shot.

Create

I created glasses for Dustyn. he he. I love that he helps me when I have crazy ideas.

Dust

Our dirt driveway has been pretty dusty. Last night we had a ton of rain, so that won’t be a problem anymore.

Seed or Sprout

New leave sprouts. Yay for Spring!

Swing or Drop

Carsyn swinging. Gosh he has gorgeous eyes and a sweet smile. I love him so much. I just finished signing us up for the HPE Conference. I can not wait to meet families like ours!

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. 🙌🏼
