Scavenger Hunt Sunday {8.28.11}

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Alright, alright. I said I was going to get this done by Friday but with Hurricane Irene coming in it got a little crazy around here. So here I am late and with a couple from the Archives. I haven’t shared them on here and I did reedit them.

Old and New

An old leaf from last fall and a new leaf from this fall.

Night Photography

An oldie, but I just love the color. I had huge hopes to finally get out there and take some photos at night, but it is very difficult with two boys at home.

Music

Also an oldie. Kenny’s Electric Guitar.


Cheesy

Made this for dinner tonight. Yummy! Easy and quick if you have shredded chicken on hand.

Sun

I love, love, love fall leaves. You will be seeing a ton of these till winter. ha ha. See the rainbow flare? Pretty neat.

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.

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. 🙌🏼
