We spy with our little eyes TIME.

Beth spied:
Nicole spied:

And with that spy we have decided that it is time for We Spy:You Spy to come to an end. With the start of a new year, and new obligations, we thought ending the challenge this week was best way to wrap up 2008. Thank you all so much for playing along with us this past year (and our 47 spies) and sharing all of your lives with us. It has been such a fun thing to be a part of!

Even though we aren't going to be challenging you to spy specific things each week, make sure to continue capturing those daily pieces of your life.

As always -
Happy Spying!!

WOW... We can't believe we have been spying now for 20 weeks already. It has been so fun to be part of this duo in finding and photographing all these great things just by challenging ourselves to spy something from our daily lives. Also we can't thank you all enough for cheering us on, for joining in, for sharing with us pieces of your lives as well. AND as a celebration of Something #20, we will randomly choose a winner from this week's spies for a chance to win this photo album:

So this week we spy with our little eyes something DOUBLE.

We spy with our little eyes some FLOWERS. Here in Minnesota we are finally at the point where we can start getting outside to plant some flowers - or at least find some around to enjoy - so we thought this week we'd see what flowers you could spy (and share) too.

(over the weekend the tulips starting opening at work)

Nicole Spied:

(A mother's day gift...love that I get to see these yellow flowers all summer long!)

Since it is April 15th - and thus 'Tax Day' - we've been thinking about expenses or maybe refunds....so this week we spied with our little eyes something that is EXPENSIVE.

Beth Spied:

Nicole Spied:

(Love them and wouldn't have it any other way...but they are seriously expensive :) )
