DIY: Got Beach Sand?


When I travel, I like to bring something home with me.  My thing is beach sand or rocks.  Joe tells me "if everyone took some home with them, then soon there would be none left."  However, I do it anyways.


In my office I have water bottles full of sand that I scooped up from Mexico, Hawaii and Tel Aviv Israel.  I wanted to make it part of my decor. I grabbed the bottles and a decorative container.  I noticed that all the sand colors were different.  I started layering the sand in the container, leaving enough room for more travel sand rocks and sea shells at the top. I added a cute backrop of our travel photos in frames that I purchased while on the vacations.
First Mexico trip,
Hawaii trip
Mexico again
 our last trip to Tel Aviv
This is what it looks like now!

I have a great focal point for the room and a great conversation starter! 
Safe and fun travels!
