Vacation

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I am still in vacation mode for the next couple days. Sorry for the lack of blog visiting and commenting. Thanks for sticking with me. I will probably get back into it on Monday. I can’t wait to share all the photos from our week.

You can see some photos of our bloggy get together here and here. Ashley will be posting her this Saturday. I can not wait to do it again.

Then I was able to hang out with Casey for a while. She saved me from having to hang out in the hotel all day. She posted some photos here.I have some photos of her to share, just need to get them off of my camera.

I love this photo that Casey took of us.

 

By the way my 365 post may be just a little late. Wanted to let you all know. Depending on when we get home, etc. Hope everyone has a great Friday.

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. 🙌🏼
