Scavenger Hunt Sunday | Host {07.08.12}

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Hello friends! Welcome!! Thanks for coming over again this week. Ashley is busy with her sweet little girl.

Patriotic

I thought this firework was very Patriotic. I loved that I captured a red, white and blue firework. You can see the rest of my fireworks photos here. This is the prompt for Paper Heart Camera so head over there to link up your photo too!

View from Above

Took this view from above photo of Carsyn while we were playing with the bubbles. The sun was in his eyes. Made it look like he was mad, but he was having fun!

Mosaic

I made a mosaic using all of the fireworks photos I took. I used this site, Easy Moza, it was pretty easy. It is free to download a web-sized version of the photo.

Something Tiny

The moon looks so tiny in this photo. I captured this after the fireworks and after everyone cleared out. Hopefully next year I will get photos of the fireworks reflecting on the water.

Vibrant

I love the vibrant colors I captured from the sunset in this photo.

So, what were your interpretations of the items this week? Be sure to load your pictures on your blog (or your Flickr photostream) and link up at the bottom of this post. Feel free to grab a button to display on your blog along with your scavenger hunt items. The linky will be open until Tuesday night at midnight (EST). If you didn’t participate this week, but want to participate next week, here are your items, sponsored by Paper Heart Camera & Beth @ Snaps Of Our Life
  1. Water
  2. Petal
  3. Fresh
  4. Eight
  5. Calm

Can’t wait to see all your photos. I will try and visit you all through today and the next few days!

    Great shots Sarah. Love your tiny shot. I was happy to see I was not the only one that was attracted by the orange moon, although you captured a much nicer shot of it than I did. Have a great week.

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. 🙌🏼
