Let's Make Life Awesome
I really dig a good joke. I generally get a chuckle when my 7-year old son tells me a knock knock joke (which usually makes zero sense, but that’s not really the point), but give me a smart one-liner and I crack up. I think it’s why my husband and I are so good together – he’s a brainiac who can make nerd jokes that keep me laughing.
Okay, our jokes aren’t always smart.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon this hanging succulent garden on Pinterest. I pinned it. I Facebooked it. I obsessed about it for days. Yep, I had to make one, and it had to be done immediately.
The only problem was that I have two black thumbs and wasn’t willing to sacrifice the lives of a few dozen sweet little succulents for what would end up being a gorgeous, but temporary, display. Luckily for me, Hobby Lobby had all of its faux succulent picks for on sale for 50% off last week. I’ve already used some in my office, so I knew that they are very realistic looking – the only kind of fake plant I will allow into my house.
So, I built a display frame and added what seemed like eleventy billion fake succulents. The result was pretty awesome.
My faux succulent hanging garden took longer and cost more to complete that I was expecting. I put together a tutorial on the project as I was going along, and I will give you some tips on how to save money if you choose to put together your own….
