Everyday Moments

Some recent brooches and earrings I brought to add to my collection :)  

Last Sunday after the Finday at the strawberry farm Tabs, Torrie and I decided to go to a karaoke session with Lindalee & Josh at a local pub.  It was lots of fun!  I sang and few songs and Tabs surprised me by having a sing too!

I was gifted money for my birthday, so brought a Lego set from my wish list + a smaller set - can't wait to build them :)

Boo and her piggies surprised us (she checked with Craig to make sure we had no plans LOL) with a visit yesterday.  She knew how sad we were losing Marine and wanted to give us comfort - so thoughtful xo I was out with Lindalee op shopping (pre-birthday celebrations) for the morning, so the kids played switch games and chilled :)

Disney merch is at Wollies for their recent promotion, so Clay couldn't resist these cute Grogu toys and asked to take pics to send to aunty Kissy LOL

Last night Lindalee and I continued her pre-birthday celebrations and went to the movies to see Jurassic Park:Rebirth.  Not something I would have picked, but I actually enjoyed the movie :)

A Sad Day

We are heartbroken to find that our gorgeous piggy Marine passed today :(

Stacking Candle Holder

I finally made the candle holder kit I brought for $4 from the op shop.  I love the idea of being able to try a new craft and not have to buy all the supplies just for what could be a once off craft.

I didn't like the apricot colour paint - it was much brighter than the picture,  so I decided to use a pink chalk paint I have in my stash. It said 2 coats, but i had to do at least 4 coats to get an even coverage.

 

I liked the patterns / styles /examples on the cover- so juat copied them. The final product :)  I'm really pleased with how they turned out!

Cards

I had a productive card making weekend- I made 2 cards for work friend's and then 2 cards using some new dies :)

School Holidays - Week 2

Monday Craig had an RDO, so the boys ran errands, chilled at home and Clay painted some more canvases and did some reading.

Nanny wasn't available for this week- so poppy helped us out.  He's not big on taking pics so nothing to show for their adventures :( Tuesday they headed to the beach at Bargara for hot chippies and a walk.

Wednesday they drove down to Burnett Heads for another walk along the beach and in the afternoon Clay went to gamers club at the library.

Thusrday & Friday they had to run alot of errands as Poppy is moving to a new unit over the weekend so packing a few last things, cleaning, sorting out connecting the new utilities, etc.

Saturday Craig worked, so Clay and I just chilled at home.

Today we headed out to breakfast with Tabs and Torrie, then we all headed out to Bargara Berries for their annual Sunday Funday. 

Thrifty Thursday

My lovely friend D contacted me to say she was helping her parents downsize their house and came across this set of babushka dolls and wanted to know if I would like them.  Of course I said yes! LOL  

Saturday I popped into 2 oppies I usually don't get to - always a nice change!  At the first one I found a 12x12 craft stencil $2.

Cute flamingo toy $2 - I was tempted to keep it for myself, but gave it to the puppies LOL

It was a nice surprise to see they had Christmas in July stock out!  Best find - large nutcracker $3!

Shirt $3

Swim shirt $3

Toys 20c

Gift bags $1.50

Book $2

At the 2nd shop I brought embossing powders $3

Book $5

Sunday we stopped by one of our fave oppies and  I found some more gift bags $1 each.

Little Golden Books $2 each - i want to use these to make mini albums.

Unused / new craft paper pad $8

School Holidays - Week 1

It's been a busy first week - Jack & Cohan were in town for the weekend, so Clay headed to Ma ma's for a sleepover with them.

We picked Nanny up Sunday to stay the week.  Monday they headed into town for lunch and to go to the art gallery.

Tuesday was a day at home - reading, playing games and Clay painted this fantastic canvas.

Wednesday they headed to a shopping centre to play putt putt golf - lots of fun!

Thursday they decided to stay home - Clay's Labubu arrived in the mail- he was very excited.  He also spent the afternoon building a train track.

Friday they ducked out to run a few errands before Craig got home from Rocky, then dropped Nanny home.  We headed out to Riverfeast with Larissa and Tab's for the 4th July Hoe Down- lots of fun :)

The weekend was very chilled after such a busy week.  Clay and I popped into a few op shops both Saturday and Sunday. While we were out at the op shops Saturday,  Craig got a notification that a Navy chopper was due to land at the airport, so we headed over to check it out.
