A B-Thrifty Succulent Container

A few weeks ago I gave you a sneak peak of the special project that I did for Just Be Thrifty Blog! 
It is no secret that I love shopping for things at B-Thrifty in Woodbridge, VA and on one of my visits I was able to find this pink ceramic shell for only $2.79 (was marked $3.99 but I was smart and went shopping on a Monday when everything is 30% off!)

Right when I got home I immediately broke out my Favorite gold spray paint! You can find this in craft stores.. NOT home improvement stores.

After the shell received a quick coating of gold paint I went to a nearby home improvement store and purchased some mini succulents.
Five minutes later this is what I was left with!!!


This is a project that I have wanted to do for a while and I'm so happy that I found the perfect "bowl" to put the succulents in! Thrift stores are great places to find unique vessels that can house plants or other items! Another plus with this project is that succulents are perfect for a person with a black thumb (this lady right here... I cannot keep a plant alive to save my life)

    I'm starting up a new internet blog directory and was wanting to know if I can submit your site? I'm hoping
    to increase my directory slowly by hand so that it maintains top quality.
    I'll make sure and put your blog in the correct category and I'll additionally use,
    "Blogger: Food, Laughter and Happily Ever After" as
    your anchor text. Make sure you let me know if this is ok with you by emailing me at:
    gerard_best@arcor.de. Many thanks

    Superb website you have here but I was curious about if you
    knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
    I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get comments from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Appreciate it!

    I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a
    very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and
    visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
    Superb work!

    Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form?

    I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems finding
    one? Thanks a lot!

    Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization?
    I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good
    success. If you know of any please share. Thanks!
