Thanksgiving 2011

Filed Under: Family, Photography, Thanksgiving Tagged With: Fall

On thanksgiving we went to three different places. The only place I took a lot of photos at was Kenny’s dads house. After our meal we went out to take some family photos.

Then we let the boys play in the leaves.

Carsyn loves being thrown into the air. He had so much fun.

Dustyn will eat raw collards but not cooked. He is a weird boy. Then him with Nana’s Christmas Tree.

This was taking at Kenny’s moms house. It is so gorgeous there. This one is SOOC. I might do something with a Thanksgiving quote.

I would love to hear about your thanksgiving. What did you do? Were you able to see your family?

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. 🙌🏼
