A Family Project

Back around Christmas time, the Hoos bought a 20-gallon aquarium for the house. LP loves animals and we thought she would enjoy having a few of her own.

For the past few weeks he has been contemplating buying a background for the tank. This is basically wallpaper for the back of the tank - I am not sure if it is for the fish or for the people viewing (shockingly, I am neither the green thumb nor the Dr. Doolittle of our house).

Yesterday instead of purchasing a commercial background, the three of us used construction paper to create our own little fish scenery. It came out great. LP was in charge of the glue stick and some placement, I cut out bubbles and fish and the Hoos handled the plants. It was fun, silly, and way cooler than anything we could have puchased.

I knew you got some of my artistic talent. Remind me to have you as a guest artist in my class.

That's awesome. My Hubby has a fish sickness, so we have, like, 5 gazillion tanks in our house. How much do you guys charge for each background? :)

Why spend money on a fancy background when what you made looks great!!
