DIY: Succulents In Sand
I had a few cylindrical glass vases left over from our wedding (which held my bridesmaid's bouquets) and decided another project was in order.
I saw something similar being sold on Abbot Kinney (in Venice, CA) a few months back for an astronomical amount. I was able to recreate them for $5.50 each.
We'll see how they do! I left the root ball in tact and poured sand all around. I covered the plants with foil during the sand pouring process (after reading this tutorial) in order to try to keep the sand off the plant. Then, I used a long soft-bristled paint brush to wipe any stray bits (as best as I could) of sand off the plants.
I'm quite pleased with the outcome. We'll see how the first watering goes!

Life: Nearly two months later...
Returned from our honeymoon yesterday and found a big plate of wedding cake in the back of the fridge. Yep, it's time to get our home and lives back in order.

Costa Rica 2011: Last Stop...The Peace Lodge
(complimentary bracelets for honeymooning guests)
It was quite an experience driving from Arenal to the Peace Lodge (video to come) but we made it with no major issues! The sky opened up shortly after we arrived yesterday so today will be filled with exploring the property and hiking to the waterfalls at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens.
