Cards

Two new cards - an Australian themed one using a new set of dies I recieved this week and the second card is my first official custom card order.

Cards

I found this pack of chevron card bases in my stash and decided to challenge myself to use them up.  Using a 6x6 paper pack and a packet of die cuts, I created these at Simply Crafty on Sunday.  I just added some washi, twine and bling to finish them off this morning.

Book Week

Today is Book Week dress up day at Clay's daycare - our first book week is very exciting :)  Clay has lots of fantastic books, but I went with "Koalas eat gum leaves" purely for the coustume LOL

Beacuse Clay had been unwell for a few days I wasn't sure if he would be going to daycare this week so held off making his costume till last night - finished at 10pm!!

I had to bribe him with 2 Kinder Surprise eggs just to wear the mask bahahahaha

OTP - Christmas Decoration

Yesterday at Simply Crafty  Dilys demonstrated how to creeate these gorgeous embroidery hoop Christmas decorations.  As always it's fun to see how different everyone's styles are and what they create. 

This is the one I created :)

Cards

The other 4 cards :)  I'm enjoying making such a wide variety of card styles.  I think I might try and make some kid cards next weekend.

Cards

A combination of motivation and new goodies has me back in my scraproom regularly these days :)  I got another 8 cards made Friday & Saturday.  My card stash is getting out of control and I decided to start selling them.  Once I figure out a name then I will set up a FB page and go from there.

Everyday Moments

Clay found this wig and thought it was hilarious :) Too cute!!

We had an appointment in Hervey Bay, so Clay stayed with Nanny for a few hours.  We decided to have a quick lunch date at Hogs Breath Cafe while we were there  :)

We had some time between swimming lessons and Clay's dentist appointment, so we headed to the park to play and enjoy the lovely weather.

Finding things in Clay's pockets has begun!! Lol  I asked where he got them "Oh school".  Looks like I will be returning stolen goods on Tuesday!

Clay's First Dentist Visit

Clay had another big first this week - a trip to the dentist!  Clay did a fantastic job and the dentist and assistant were amazing!  They explained everything they were going to do and asked Clay if they could.  He only said no twice - once to the air tool and the brush, but then agreed to the brush.  The dentist said he had great teeth- no cavities and that a tooth was currently starting to erupt.  Clay got a tooth pack (tooth brush, toothpaste, etc) and picked a prize for doing so well.   

Cards

The rest of Friday's cards and one made yesterday.

 

Cards

It seems I still have my card making mojo!  I made 8 cards yesterday!!  Will share the others tomorrow.

Thrifty Thursday

After swimming lessons on Monday I popped into 2 op shops between running errands.

At the first shop I scored this cute reversible hat for Clay $1

I found a few more goodies at the second shop - this set of stamps (look new / unused) for Kristy $2

Snack box for Clay $2

Bowl for the cat 30c

Clay's First Day at Daycare

Today was a BIG day...Clay's first day at day care!  I'm relieved (and not surprised) that he went off happily. Ps - This mummy held it together and didn't do the "ugly cry" as predicted 😀

Clay's first day of day care was a complete success!! Went to pick him up - he saw us and started telling us "No,no go home daddy" and cried when he had to leave!  Lol  The teachers told us he had a great day and socialised really well with the other kids (gets that from his Mummy!!)  He was happy when we told him he was going back tomorrow!

Here's the other 5 cards from this weekend.
