Everyday Moments

One of the guys brought me this cup - made me giggle!! 


Clay school got a visited from International Olympic Commitee Young Leader, Kalinda Robinson (Track cyclist) and he got to meet her and get an autograph.



Thursday night Tabs, Larissa, Susanne and I went to a Christmas in July trivia night - had a lovely meal, great chats and even came 5th!!



We finally spotted the Lightening McQueen car at one of the car yards after work on Friday, so stopped to snap some pics!




Both puppies were feeling very snuggly (or just using me for my body heat) Saturday morning.


This set was on sale, so of course I couldn't resist it ;)


LOTS of passionfruit on the vine and tjey are getting ripe!  I will share with both mums and work mates and freeze the pulp of some for us for cooking.



Clay has been riding his shuffle cart most afternoons and is getting really good at it :)


When people leave the office for meetings and I have 10 mins spare....

Childers Multicultural Festival

This morning we picked up Diane and headed to Childers with Tabs & Torrie and Josh, Lindalee & Jax for the annual multicultural festival.  We had a fabulous morning looking at the markets stalls, watching the roving entertainers & buskers, listening to the main stage musicians and seeing all the food vendors.  It was a bit overcast with a brief rain shower, then the sun came out for a beautiful day.

Thrifty Thursday

A friend on FB had a heap of books for give away, so I picked up the Wimpy Kid & Minecraft books for Clay :)


Lindalee's birthday is this week and when I asked how she would like to celebrate she asked to spend the day op shopping - of course I said yes! LOL We headed off on Saturday morning and started at the oppoies in Bargara. At the first shop I found this handmade wooden kookaburra brooch $3


Book for Clay $2


And the most exciting find....a giant Lego storage head $10!  I've been wanting one of these for ages, but couldn't justify the price new!!


At the 2nd shop I found gift bags $1 each and book by my fave author $3.



At the last shop I found some great crafty goodies!!  Scrapbook papers 50c each.


Cute (unppened) lolly wrap kits $1 each! 



Sublimation bookmark kit $10


Embellishment 50c

My other most exciting find for the day - this huge pot plant stand that was a bargain $6!!


Monday was my RDO, so Craig and I had lunch together and went to a few appointments. I popped into an oppie and found some more goodies :)

This gorgeous tops was only $2!  I had found a similar style top when I was opping with Lindalee, but decided not to buy it as the plain pink colour did not suit me..so glad I held off buying it!


Some more crafty goodies - patterened paper bags $1 and unopened box Project Life kit $5.


These 2x hard cover books for Clay - $2 each


Cute metal watering can that I will use as a planter $2.


We picked Clay up from school and headed to a new to me op shop (Clay had been a few times with his after school group and loved it).  It was surprisingly bigger than I expected and a real little treasure trove - prices were a bit all over the place, but I managed to find some fun things :)  I even spotted a dining set for Craigs dad - sent him pics and he came over and brought it LOL

My finds -Scrapbook embellishments $4



Cookie cutters to add to my collection $1
