Had a great fun time yesterday, creating my Terrarium at a"ClassBento" workshop. My daughters gave me this experience for Mother's Day a couple of years ago and when we moved into our new house and unpacked, I found it....lucky it had 3 years expiry on it! It makes a beautiful centrepiece on our new table in our new new home!! The ladies, Tanya and Cathy @TalkDirt2me who ran the class were amazing!  + more
