This rich, wild, full year is about to come to a close and it feels time to say hello here again as I’ve been  reflecting on what’s been and what’s to come.

So hello. We’re still here and going strong. As for our last, erm, months they’ve been wonderful and hectic and joyful and, to be quite honest, a blur. Since words take the kind of concentration I don’t have at 10pm, here’s a largely photographic recap.

:: we explored ::

:: we played (instead of dusting…) ::

:: we celebrated ::

:: we admired ::

::we cried ::

:: we grew ::

:: and grew ::

:: we harvested ::

:: we put away ::

:: we refreshed ::

:: we got dirty ::

:: and curly ::

:: we escaped ::

:: we posed (willingly and not so much) ::

:: we succumbed (and were thankful) ::

:: we dressed up ::

:: we got cuter by the day ::

:: we read, we snuggled, we cherished ::

:: we welcomed winter once more ::

:: we charmed ::

:: we learned ::

And certainly much more.

I’m full of thanks this New Years Eve. I’m ready for a new year and entering it with new prayers, new hopes, new vision. But I’m ever so grateful for all that has come before. The joy and sorrow that has brought us to this place today.

This place is good.

Thank you for your friendship and support, friends! Wishing you great blessings and adventures in the year to come.

Much love from the jays xoxo

Hello, Thursday!

Corrie and I have another round of the Lexicon Project on the go. She’s got our photos for our previous theme, neatly, to share at The Mayberry Home Journal; I’ve got our next theme to announce.

We love having friends join up – if you have a photo to share for neatly, pop over to link up in the comments at Corrie’s.

We’ll be back here to share our photos for the theme, guidance, next Thursday.

Hi all! It’s lexicon time again!

Corrie‘s revealing our photos for last week’s challenge – provision.

Over here I get the happy task of announcing the word theme we’re taking on this week.

If you have a word for last week’s theme, provision, we’d love to see a link posted over at The Mayberry Home Journal.

Either way, I hope to see you back here next week where I’ll be revealing our shots for this new word!

Happy Thursday!

Time for this week’s photo reveal. I must admit I especially loved this one: shucks.

Here’s my photo:

And Corrie’s:

 

Did you capture a shucks moment this week?

As always, link up below with a URL to your photo (blog, instagram, or flickr account) or share on the house full of jays facebook page. We want this to be a fun project to participate in so take your time with it or grab a quick snap – but please do share!

After linking here hop over to The Mayberry Home Journal – Corrie will have our next photo challenge posted.

Looking forward to seeing your photos!
