We got some new friends for our tank yesterday. Phil found out that one of the local pet stores is closing tomorrow, and they have everything marked down. The store had a huge saltwater pond inside they store, and they had some pretty big fish in there. They were never for sale before because there was no way to catch them. Well, somehow they wrangled them all up and had them in an aquarium. We got three HUGE yellow tangs. These guys are now the biggest thing in our tank (which is not making the Lion Fish happy!), and we only paid $30 each for them. The largest one would easily go for well over $100 somewhere else – he’s bigger than my hand. Our other fish were a little freaked out when we put them in last night. Hopefully they’ll all calm down and learn to live with each other peacefully. Here are a few photos that I took.

In other news, Jordan got her first stripe at karate class on Tuesday. She was so excited, and they make such a big deal out of it! I didn’t have my camera with me, but I need to take one this afternoon when she gets ready for class. Oh, also finished up this little altered project yesterday. It’s an altered file folder for our bills. I can even slip the checkbook down inside the inside pocket. I followed Becky Troxel’s (webchyck) simple instructions from the Scrapbookgraphics Blog. If you’ve never checked it out, take a look at all of the tutorials and ideas over there.

SOME OLDIES BUT GOODIES

I added a couple of my older sets to the Scrapbookgraphics store yesterday. Both of these sets have a timeless quality to them, and will work for all sorts of layouts. Both of these sets are pretty big too, so you have lots to choose from.
