Layouts

The last day of the year meant I had to get motivated to finish a few layouts I had been working on!

I was still feeling crafty, so I scrapped another layout!

Thrfty Thursday

Christmas eve we ducked out to do some last minute errands and I popped into my fave oppie to drop off a bag of donations and have a quick look ;)  It was nice to squeeze one last oppie visit in for 2021!

I found this top $10

Large Tupperware vegetable keeper $5 - perfect to store piggy food

This super cute wooden necklace $4

New oil diffuser $1

Brayer for crafting $3

Brooch $1 - still on original packaging

Clay found 3 books for $2

New shoes for Clay $4

Facebook buy today- full wooden train set $20 = one happy boy!

Cricut Creations- Christmas Presents

Mum asked me to add the boy's names to these drink bottles for Christmas.  It was fun to try out a few new fonts :) 

I brought this Bon Bon kit in the boxing day sales last Xmas and made one each for the boys.  In Clay's I put a Mario and Luigi figurine

In Jack's I put an icy pole holder 

In Cohan's I put a wooden keyring - the front worked out well, but I melted the C on the back - oops!

I decorated a stubby cooler for James to add to his gift 

I made Craig a personalised keep cup to go with his new coffee machine he got for Christmas :)

I also made a money box for Darcie

School Holidays - Week 2

A busy start to the week - I had Monday off of work to take to the doctors.  Nanny and Clay spent Monday to Wednesday together - swimming, playing Monopoly,  setting up the wooden train set and a trip into town.

Brodie brought over some tubes and houses that were too small for her piggies.  Lots of new hiding spots means more places to hide while to trying to catch the speedy little buggers LOL

We spent the Thursday at mum's- she's still slowly healing from her fall.  The cuzzies showed Clay how to play Minecraft :)

 

Friday we did some last minute food shopping, popped into an op shop and in the afternoon Craig and I finally managed to have a swim with Clay - the water is perfect temperature!

Clay set up the fuzzy xmas tree kit we brought.

Boxing day we went to see Sing 2 - it was a great movie!

Rainy afternoon was a good time to play with xmas presents and have a go at making bath bombs.

Christmas Day 2021

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas day! We started off with a VERY excited little boy spotting his quad bike next to the tree :) We hopped onto our bed to check out what Santa left in his stocking- lots of fun goodies!  Then out to the lounge to open our presents - everyone was very happy with their gifts :)

Mum wasn't up to coming over to our house, so we packed up the food and headed to her place to open some more presents and Craig and James cooked  delicious BBQ breakfast.

After spending the morning with everyone, we headed home to have a few drinks and let Clay ride his quad bike around!

Craig's mum and dad joined us for a late lunch of cold meat (chicken, ham and prawns) and salad.  Then Luke, Rinda and Ryley dropped over with presents. 

We had a relaxed evening at home - Clay playing with all his new toys, watching xmas movies and leftovers for dinner and Craig had pavlova with fresh fruit for dessert.
