Scavenger Hunt Sunday 12.11.11

This week's Scavenger Hunt items were a lot of fun to find ... Less is more, Holiday lights, Ornaments, Cup of cheer, and Nativity.

{less is more}

A simple ornament.


{holiday lights}

One of our family traditions is to go see the Christmas light displays at Hartwood Acres.  We were able to go this week.  The lights were beautiful as always.  This is the mansion that we pass on our way through the park.
(I feel the need to disclose that the moon was Photoshopped in.  I thought it would look cool, and it does, doesn't it?)  :)



{ornaments}

I haven't been able to get all 3 kids together to go get their ornaments this year, so Alex and I picked his out yesterday.  It was no surprise that he picked out a train.  :)  Keira and Nick will get theirs soon hopefully.


{cup of cheer}

Hot cocoa with marshmallows and a candy cane.  Yum!


{nativity}

This nativity set is pretty old.  I've been looking for a newer one but haven't found the right one yet.

That's it for me.  Be sure to stop over at Ashley's to see more great Scavenger Hunt finds!
Thanks for stopping by!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday 11.13.11

Time once again for Scavenger Hunt Sunday!  I had a fun time searching out this week's items, which are: Before & after (processed image), Opposing lines, Custom bokeh, Which pair of shoes should I wear?, and Little features.  And here are my interpretations ...

{before & after ... before}

{before & after ... after}

I ran The CoffeeShop Blog's Velvet Truffle action then added a texture from Shadowhouse Creations.

{opposing lines}

I bought this huge wicker chair at a yard sale this summer with the intentions of freshening it up with a coat or two of paint.  Hasn't happened yet.  :)  Although the way it looks now is starting to grow on me.  Kind of rustic.  Maybe.

{custom bokeh}

This was a tricky one for me.  I tried some outdoor shots but couldn't get the bokeh to work right.  So, much to my kids' delight, I broke out the Christmas lights a little early and played.  For this particular bokeh I used a 3-flower punch which is why the shapes are different.  (And I'm finally finding another use for a few of those scrapbooking supplies I have!)  :)

{which pair of shoes should I wear?}

The white horse asks the brown horse.  To which the brown horse replies, "Probably the same ones you always wear."  haha!  (Yeah, I know, but I didn't take anything else that worked with this prompt.)  :)

{little features}

While on the bike trail on Wednesday, Alex took a break from biking to play with some leaves.  His little hands look a little beat up.  The life of my boy.

Thanks for checking out my hunt items!  Next week's items are:

1. Mainly One Color
2. Around the Home (Paper Heart Camera prompt)
3. Reflection (Kamana's suggestion)
4. Writing (Kamana's suggestion)
5. Water (Kamana's suggestion)

Have a great week!

A-hunting we will go!

Time for another Scavenger Hunt Sunday hosted by the lovely and talented Ashley Sisk.  This week's menu consists of ... Decay (old/abandoned), Groups of three, Kitchen, Things that make you go "hmmm", and "Me" time.  So here we go!

{decay}

This Radio Flyer wagon sadly belongs to us.  It has been left out in the harsh Pennsylvania weather too many times and is showing definite signs of decay.  (I Lo-Fi'd this photo.  Don't remember exactly what settings I used though.)

{groups of three}

Keira came home from Friday's race with 3 wrist bands.  They were handed out to all the kids that wanted them.  They look like tire tread.  Cool, huh?

{kitchen}

Okay, so my kitchen is the last room waiting to be redone in our house, so there was no way I was going to take a picture of my ugly kitchen.  :)  At least not until I can post before/after photos, which will be a while.  Instead I photographed my wonderful bread machine that is a kitchen appliance (even though it actually resides in my dining room) and a fresh loaf of French bread (our new favorite bread from said machine).  Oh, and I also finally figured out how to do a diptych ... so easy!

{things that make you go "hmmm"}

Does this really need an explanation?  No?  But I will anyway.  :)  

Alex, my 5YO, decided to wear his wrist band on his face at Friday night's race.

{"me" time}

Okay, so this is waaaaaay outside my comfort zone ... to post a photo of myself with a cleansing mask on my face.  But this is "me" time and it's all I've got this week.  Just checked The Pioneer Woman's new book out of the library also.  Hoping I get some more "me" time today to actually read some of it.  :)


Well, that was fun, wasn't it?  :)
Head over to Ashley's to see more great Scavenger Hunt photos!

High Key, Bedroom, Something Tiny, Off in the Distance, Stripes
