Nature in a Jar

Let's give it up for Friday because it's finally here!

This week I had a ball turning these glass

containers from blah to TADA!

With carefully selected rocks, twigs and plants,

I made some really cool covered terrariums.

I read that these "thrive on neglect". They make use of

whatever moisture is in the jar, allowing the plants to

survive. No constant watering needed. Yahoo!

I got to reuse some blah plastic containers

to collect my materials, too.

And if I may digress, can I show you

some springtime photos; a souvenir

of the day I went hunting & gathering?

You have to love all this spring time bounty!

Wish I could preserve fresh flowers inside a bottle.

Anyway, back to my project:

I used this blah jar.

And turned it into a TADA! terrarium.

I think this will find a good home on a desk

or bookshelf {near a sunny window}.

I just had to take a family portrait

of my handiwork.

Have a sweet weekend ya 'all!
