Alaska in Nebraska

That's right, I have a little piece of real Alaska to make me feel more at home here in Nebraska. It's called a tundra terrarium. My oldest sister, Abbie, made it for us for our wedding. She traveled over 3,000 miles (thank goodness for planes) holding this on her lap. She even made it herself! She chunked together different parts of the tundra, including cute little flutes and a black spruce tree! She layered the bottom with small rocks and some activated charcoal for adsorption purposes. She wasn't sure if it would work, but so far it's looking good. I take care of it by using a spray bottle to water it and then removing the lid when it gets too moist inside, pretty low maintenance. I wish I would have taken pictures right when I got it because it looked even better then. It's so fun to have in our home, thanks Abbie!
