Description Time to update with some of the crap on my laptop that's been PILING UP FOR MONTHS!!
WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *dies*


This was actually my stepfather's Father's Day gift last summer.

He's obsessed with Sedona, Arizona, and one of the last times he, my mom, and I were out there, they smuggled home 2 water bottles FULL of desert sand, and a few red rocks.
The only problem was, he wanted to display the sand in his office, but didn't know how to do it.


So, Mom mentioned that she wanted me to take a bottle of the dirt and find a creative way to display it for him for his Father's Day gift.


We found a little glass box with a chain-supported lid at a store at a mall nearby, and some desert-looking plants (dried plants, but they ARE real!) at a craft store.
The little cattle skull was one that I'd used on a college class project several years ago, and had fallen off, so I stuck it in the box here.
I placed a desert rock near the back, and put a little plastic lizard on it, just for kicks. X3 (Special thanks to ~Phoenix-of-the-Rose for finding the little lizard for me!! ^_^)


The funny part came when I'd given the box to him, then put the lizard in it a couple weeks later.
Neither Doug nor my mom noticed the lizard for almost two months.
When Mom finally noticed it, she thought a REAL lizard had somehow gotten into the box.
