Soooooup!

Tonight I looked at a recipe for minestrone and thought well... I'll just throw some stuff in a pot and see what I get!

Dragon's Hoard Terrarium

My husband and I made this terrarium this afternoon.


It was a fun project. Putting it together didn't take very long but we had lots of fun wandering around garden centers, toy departments, and craft stores deciding what we wanted it to look like and what we would put in it.
I found instructions in this month's Everyday with Rachael Ray. One thing they left out: get a bigger container than you think you'll need... or plan to fill it with less. We found ourselves digging things out and smoushing things down to make room for the dragon.
