I made Terrariums today!





So earlier today I went to the thrift store down the street from me and was just wandering around and decided that I should look for terrarium making jars. I've been wanting to make some for a while now and I finally remembered at a convenient time. Well I found 4 awesome jars with lids (have to have lids for the whole greenhouse thing to work). And then it was off to Lowe's to grab some plants to put in them. 
As it turns out me in a large flower selection is a dangerous thing. I ended up spending close to two and a half hours trying to pick out what I wanted and then deciding I didn't want it and then back and forth and back and forth... Finally I left with my plants, and some potting soil and then came back to the apartment. Laid down the newspaper that the jars were wrapped in and began. 
Not as easy as you may think. Openings are deceivingly hard to work with... But I finally got them in with the help of tiny spoons and some kitchen tongs. And the result is awesome. ^_^

Oh and Mom if you read this, Happy Mother's day!!! You get to pick one of these!!! I love you and you rock!


























Pirate is my dish scrubber and the most awesome gift ever brought back to me from a trip!!! (Still awesome mom!)
