Scavenger Hunt Sunday (#20)...

Welcome to another week of Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  Yes, I am all about the Christmas holiday with these prompts this week.  Afterall,  it IS the most wonderful time of the year.  Thing #2 flew in yesterday and Thing #1 finished his law school finals and is arriving home later this morning.  Sooooo....feel free to send some snow Mother Nature, Thing #3 would love a snow day from school and I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!



1.  Joy


I need to keep the fact that I'm overJOYed with my new photo light box...that I made out of a cardboard box, duct tape and paper...quiet from my Better-Half.  If he only knew that a simple cardboard box has been keeping me occupied hour after hour....my whole identity as "high maintenace" would be blown!


2.  Sleep


 Tis the season for UPS delivery men, and you expect me to sleep?!?  This is Dog #2, my guard dog.  He strikes fear in the hearts of UPS men with that killer glare.


3.  What is it?



My window with the neighbor's light display from across the street reflected in it..bokeh-ized and texture-ized.



4.  Half



Half black and white, half color.  Okay, okay....closer to 3/4 and 1/4.  Math is highly over rated!  



5.  Window



The beveled glass window panes on my front door.  I love how it lets light pour into my foyer and you can get a glimpse of my Santa tree if you peek in.





Thanks for stopping by.  And as always, I urge you to check out the other contributions to Scavenger Hunt Sunday by clicking on the link below.  You will be amazed at the creativity and talent.

Happy Sunday!

    Love your photos and that doggie is so adorable. Is it West-highland terrier? I was dying to have one like that when I was a kid.

    Those bells are fabulous! They look like I could reach out and ring one (which I would totally do)!
