Fun with Sparklers

These photos were taken a couple weeks ago, but I had to wait until I finished a photo scavenger hunt before I could post them. The kids and I had an absolutely BLAST making these pictures – we definitely want to do Continue reading Fun with Sparklers

Dragon Terrariums

Four more days until the dragon!

In addition to the regular roadtrip preparations, I’m also preparing terrariums for the trip. I’m donating one to the MINI Skirts booth to raise funds for a local breast cancer charity, and donating one to the event for a bingo prize. I’m also making several to sell while I’m there.

Here are the containers I have so far. And yes, the treadmill doubles as a terrarium staging area.

I cut a pattern and started making the roadways and mossy areas.

Then I started planning the layout. I’d like to include 3 plants, a dragon figurine, a highway 129 sign, and of course a MINI.

I need more drainage gravel and plants, so I’ll pick those up Monday when the nursery is open. Until then I’ll be busy making highway signs and preparing the cars.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of putting terrariums together.

Make a Wish

This morning I delivered a yoga terrarium for a donation to the Make a Wish Foundation of Central and North Florida. They will be auctioning the terrarium off at their Wishmaker’s Ball next weekend. The board member that contacted me about making a donation chose the yoga theme, but did so based on the only 2 themes I have on my website right now: yoga and MINI Coopers. Next year I plan to make a special terrarium themed for Make a Wish; I’m thinking children playing outside, a mother hugging her child, a father holding his child up in the air – something along those lines. But for now, I’m hoping this yoga terrarium generates a decent bid for donation to Make a Wish.
