Getting Ready For Christmas

Yes it's only October  but if Christmas decor starts coming out in the shops then who am I to say no?!?!? LOL

I ordered these sequin bow ornaments from Kmart, but when I collected them the pink was a really bright pink that won't match my Disney tree, so I think I'll return them.

Big W are starting to bring out the Disney ornaments.  I brought Moana and Maui - I didn't get them last year and regretted it.

Clay's new decoration he chose for this year - Hot Wheels - perfect for him :)

I love this wooden garland from the Reject shop.

This year's ceramic tree from Kmart - I'm not super keen on the design, but it will look cute with the others.

I was so excited to see that Kmart brought out another Disney advent calendar with different designs / characters than last year.

A big splurge....a Mickey Mouse blow mold!  Craig asked where I was putting it outside ....ummmm its staying inside next to the Disney tree! Bahaha 

Thrifty Thursday

I got to pop into my 2 fave oppies on Sunday :)

At the first shop I found this Tupperware serving bowl $15 - it's a LOT more than I would usally pay, but I love this design!

Storage tray $2 - perfect size to store washi or random crafting embellishments.

This fabulous tin was only 50c and I'm still undecided whether to keep it or give it to Tabs.

8x10 frame for my Disney photo gallery - $4 

This book was $3, but when she was ringing it up the lady said she would only charge me $1

Books for Kristy - 50c & $1

Lego book $3

Packet of Stitch stickers $2

What I did NOT buy.... LOL

At the 2nd shop I managed to find some more books :) Santa book $4

More LGB for junk journals $2 each

Books by 2 of my fave authors $4 each. THE early Lane book is from a 4 book series I have started reading , after finding a book last time I only have 1 book left to find!

Minecraft mug $6 - another item I wouldn't usually pay that much for, but I knew it would be a great pencil cup on Clay's desk.

3D Print Creations - Christmas Ornament

I wanted to put our Disneyland 1st visit badges on the Christmas tree and saw a cute idea on FB - so after a quick search on Thingiverse.com I found print files for these cute bauble shaped holders!

They hold the badge well, but I think I might add a bit of hot glue at the back to stop them moving / secure in place.

Some red & white striped twine and they are all done!! Ive done one each for Clay and my trees and the 3rd one is for Kristy.

Cards

I was feeling motivated to create again, so on Saturday night I popped down to my scraproom and made 2 more cards :)

Battle of the Schools

Clay's school won their round of Battle of the Schools competition tonight!

Cards

The last of the Christmas cards and 2x birthday cards ready for work friend's birthdays. It was a productive weekend - 25 cards and 2 junk journals made :)

Cards

Some more cards from the craft camp weekend - still making an effort to use new stamps and dies I brought this year.
