Terrarium Time!

 Spring is here! I love how everything is starting to turn green again. It just makes me happy. That also means the pollen is out. The pollen count for Atlanta is 8,024. That is extremely high. Literally my car, which has been driven today, looks like yellow snow is in it. My sinuses do not act up a lot but they are now. I decided that I would make my mom a terrarium. I bought this great jar at work months ago with the intentions of making a terrarium. This week I have had a lot of spare time.

 I put that spare time to use making my terrarium. Alyssa came over so I shared my baby plants and she made one with a little jar I gave her. I am not necessarily a plant killer but I do not have a green thumb. Steve's mom can grow just about anything so she gave me some succulents. I did buy one little cactus. I think it is adorable. The thing did poke me a couple of times though.


 Steve's mom gave me this cute old book called The world of Terrariums. I wanted to show you some of the pictures inside of it. I think they are beautiful.



 The book is also really informative. This illustration shows how the interior of the terrarium works!


I hoped you enjoyed this post! If you have a post about making a terrarium let me know and I will check it out! Or if you decide to make one because of this post let me know! I would love to see yours.


If you have time please check out my new post at my other blog Focusing Daily. It is about a really neat album I just made!
