Scavenger Hunt Sunday - February 19, 2012

It's Sunday and time once again for Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday feature.
I missed last week :o(  so let's get started on this weeks prompts.

Love, Duplicated, Trend, Paper and Plastic.

First up:




LOVE :  This is the single red rose that my mom placed on my dad's grave on Valentine's Day.  He's been gone 14 years but every year my mom takes flowers out (usually a single rose) on Valentine's Day.  You see my dad always remembered to give my mom something on Valentine's Day even if it was just a handmade card so it's important to her to remember him in this small way.





















DUPLICATED:  Now this one had me "stumped" and then I was looking through the photo's I took at the park on Friday and voila~ I had my photo!


I'd say those (eyes) are duplicated, wouldn't you. Not to mention gorgeous.  More photo's of Mr. Peacock will follow later in the week.

TREND: This particular trend was very trendy in the 70's and seems to be making a come back today. You see it on everything, clothing, note books, jewelry and even stuffed animals.  Can you guess what I'm talking about?

Yes, the "Peace" symbol.                  Coleen got this little guy in a Happy Meal at McDonald's.
PAPER:  Okay I was going to reverse the order of the last two photo's because this one is pretty (lame) as I couldn't think of anything to share for this photo and just took this as a last minute desperation photo so please don't be to hard on me for this one.
This is some of the many pieces of patterned paper that I use (hoard) for card making.

PLASTIC:  I decided to go ahead and use this one last since it's a much better photo then the paper prompt was and you might as well end on a high note, right!


One of the slides at the park.  I love those FISH on the left side.

So that's it for this week.  Next week's prompts are: Crossed, A Glimpse, Handwritten, Bliss, Gray.

  5. The rose is a very sweet gesture of continued affection by your mom - and I think the peace-sign bear is too cute (I hate to admit that I miss the happy meal toys the kids used to get).

  9. That is so sweet that your Mom always takes a rose to your Dad on Valentine's. Your paper shot made me laugh when you crossed our hoard....that is exactly what I am...a hoarder with all my paper. What in the heck am I keeping it for. Have a great week ahead, Ida.

  12. I think your choices for the Scavenger Hunt are right on! (The tail of the peacock is amazing!) Just letting you know that the paper I hoard wouldn't fit in a photo. ;-)

  16. Enjoyed your takes on the Scavenger Hunt. Love that pic of the peacock! Our pug doesn't hold still for photos. As a matter of fact, she mostly turns her back when she sees the camera out. I got lucky and snuck up on her.
