Crafts will save your soul

So despite my whining about my parents, I have been able to find solace in one thing: creating.  Whether it's painting, or making little crafts with my friends I can always just relax when I'm in the process.

Yesterday I went to my friend Caity's house and we bought cheap canvases and painted random things on them.  I neglected to take a picture, but I'll make sure to upload it for my next post.  It's a bit creepy, and I'd like to say that it's inspired by Magritte, but I think it's to kitschy to be Magritte.  Anyway, it's hanging in my bathroom now and it creeps my sister out, so I like it.

Today I made this awesome terrarium with my little brother, and we made a compromise with the plants that went in it.  I picked out the two leafy ones and he picked out the cactus (as well as the dinosaurs).  I've had terrarium fever for THE LONGEST time.  On Etsy I have so many cool ones favorited, but unfortunately many of them are $50+, and therefore WAY out of my price range.  However, I spent like $13 making the terrarium pictured below, so for my first terrarium, I feel like I did pretty well.

I want to make a succulent terrarium with a weird shaped vessel, however my recent trips to thrift stores trying to find something cool enough has not been fruitful as of yet.  So.  When I find the right glass container, I'll make another terrarium, because I have a sneaking suspicion that my 3 year old brother is going to steal this one away from me.
