Remember my exciting find this past summer? I picked up this great gumball machine for $1.00. It even had money in the bottom of it! Well, I knew when I found it just what I would do with it. I saw the idea about a year ago on a DIY blog and then here, and loved it.
Here is the before:
After: meet Dino!
The fish tank...it is so stinkin' cute!
Dino's pretty cute too!
The boys were so excited about the fish. Caden hugged me and told me again today, "thanks for the fish." I'm excited it has such a cute, unique home!

I love it!! I'm so glad you sent this to me because it reminded me I need to change the water on ours right NOW. :)
Oh, and I just deleted your email and couldn't remember what questions you had about our fish?
Love the fish tank what a great idea. It seems like Beta fish are the only fish we can keep alive!
Have a fabulous day!

You did an awesome job. I bet they just love this gift. Thanks for coming by and commenting on my bubble gum machine. God Bless.
Oh my gosh! My older kids' dad got them a gumball machine on a stand, almost just like that, and it's just been sitting. This would be so fun to do! Thanks!
