... unless of course you'd like to buy me a snakeskin bag or something... and then I say YES. As for snakes, lizards, geckos or any creature in the reptile house at the zoo... ummmm NO. Somehow though... we ended up with a pet gecko named Junior.
Who he/she was a "junior" to in our family, I'm not sure.
And Junior lived in my craft room... which was really all shades of wrong considering how much I don't love reptiles. And the absolute best part about Junior living in my craft room, God rest his/her soul, was the sound of the live crickets (ie. gecko food) chirping every. freakin'. day.
I mean, I have a nice craft room. How is it that I felt like I was outside in the wilderness when I was in there?
The things I won't agree to for this child.
Anyway... Junior passed away. Bryn cried. I did a secret happy dance. It was a very sad day.
I had a few bad quality cell phone photos... one showing Junior shedding his skin (totally disgusting)... so I thought I'd document our time spent with this pet. The page turned out kinda cute (helloooo... a rainbow!) considering how NOT cute the pet was...
Speaking of the rainbow... that journaling card was from the super cute and FREE journaling cards found here. The chevron background paper is Simple Stories Vintage Bliss. I added a SRM Hello sticker on there too...
So to sum things up... reptiles ok for accessories... not ok for pets.
And quite frankly... any kind of animal print gets my vote. In fact... I just bought a zebra print rug for the craftroom....
I think I just died and went to Heaven.
The end.
Lol!!! Guess I should never let you see my gecko tat then?? Lol! Loveeeeeeeee the lo...rainbow goodness!!

LOVE the zebra rug and your layout is super cute. And I'm totally with you on all things non-gecko! Sounds like Bryn could be a distant cousin of my son, Taylor. He is an animal lover. Over the years we had lizards, a snake (long, long story, a hedgehog, dogs (which I was fine with), a sugerglider (which I loathed!), bunnies, hamsters, miniature black bear hamsters, cats...and that's only the pets I knew about! Ha!

I'd think I'd have died and gone to heaven if I had your craft room :)
My kids would love love love a pet. But I figure I have enough mouths to feed, poop to clean up, and doctor appts with them that adding one more creature to the mix would put me over the edge.
True story--Merek wanted pet fish for Christmas. Know what he got? The Magic Fishbowl from Amazon. Best pet fish ever! :)

Ooh, love the rug! I'm sorry Bryn was sad. :( Hope she's ok now.
