Thanks for joining us. I wanted to do so many things but unfortunately time got away from me. So what I do have for you are two projects. The first is a sign I made any guess to what it means...


Ok  I will give you a few hints











Give up? The correct answer is Fish Room is Japaneses. As you can tell we have a fish room in our basement. It is Also my craft room/ office and my husband game room / office . If I'm stressing or need to take a brake from life or just can't think of anything to work on all I do is turn around and look at fish. We even have Goldfish I know not Koi but the closest we can get for now they are on the floor in the big tank in the last picture.
For my last project I did a coloring page I found from google search. I could not figure out what color to color the Koi so I left him black and white. I love how this turned out.


Next hop on over to Sue- https://suek86401.blogspot.com/

    Hooray! I guessed fish room before I got to the bottom of the page! I would love to have a fish room, I only have a small tank with one fish. I really like the coloring page too! Great coloring!

    Wow, when I saw the photos of the aquariums I thought it was a pet store. How amazing to have so many fish! Your Koi project is just beautiful.

      Thank you. I wish I had a store but I think it would be hard to get rid of any of the fish lol

    I thought the sign might say No Fishing, lol! That's a lot of fish there and the sign is adorable. Your koi card is also beautiful and I like that you left the koi in black and white.

    Shannon, your projects are super cool but I am blown away by all your tanks!!! My family always had fish while growing up and I have continued. The most I have ever had going is 4, I am just in awe! I only have one set up currently with only one fish left a pretty old Plecostomus but he lives with two yellow bellied sliders that are about 6 in a 55. At first I thought you owned a fish store!!! I am just amazed! thanks for sharing!
