Cards

Last weekend I had to make a card ready for Torrie's birthday party, so decided to use the cake layered stencil and die set again - its so cute!

I was inspired by a card on Pintrest and made a 2nd card :)

Variety Club Children's Christmas Party

We were up at 4.30am this morning so Clay and I could catch a bus to Brisbane for the Variety Club Children's Christmas Party at 6am! The Variety Club arranged buses for the Wide Bay area - we had 4 families on our bus and picked up another family in Gympie. Clay was super excited to find that a friend frim his class was going too :)

The party was unbelievable - the number of people was insane! It was held at the Brisbane Convention Centre and was packed with families, displays and volunteers!  We walked around looking at all the displays / activities - snapping pics along the way :)

Z's mum took the boys through the gift line up while I lined up for fairy floss.  The boys told the volunteers their name and age and the put their gifts in a bag for them - their age group got a Lego technics set, karaoke microphone and a toy dog- very spoilt!  

After fairy floss we went to get cupcakes / cookies.

The police and ambulance services had multiple displays set up, there were lots of cos-play people and there was a stage that had constant entertainment - animal talks, singing, magic, etc.  There were 2 bouncy areas and 2 rides - so we lined up so the kids could have a go on everything. There was also a few places for food / snacks - sausages on bread, ice blocks, chips, coffee and bottles of cold water was being handed out the whole time.

It wouldn't be a Christmas party without the main man in red - Santa!!!

We headed back to the bus for our trip home - arriving home after 7pm.  It was a very long and full on day, but we had an amazing time and hope Clay gets invited again :)

Everyday Moments

My Lego sets from Sydney :)  I love all the details in the Up! set.

Puppy snuggles :)

After a few days of her being jealous of the new puppy, Spikey has been snuggly with me again.

Pic from the school FB page  - the kids were doing a colouring competition.

It was mum's birthday recently- so Clay, Mav and I went over to spend the morning with her.  She hadn't met Mav yet - so was getting lots of snuggles in.

This year's nutcrackers  - all 3 from The Reject Shop.

"Just because" flowers from Craig.

I finally replaced the Venetian blinds in my scraproom with blackout roller blinds - hoping this cools things down a bit on there.

Clay and I baked cupcakes :)

Wax Seals

I've been watching videos of making wax seals and wanted to try some - so I ordered the bits and pieces : )  

There are so many stamps to choose from!  I went with some Christmas, floral, butterfly and a Disney stamp.

The wax beads finally arrived this week - so I had a little play tonight.  I like the seals that are a marble effect - so I mixed through some different colours to see what I could create.

After I made the first few I decided to buy a gold pen to colour the designs to stand out more....I popped into Aldi to buy groceries today snd found these pens! LOL 

They do make the design stand out more!

The double sided stickers on the back are so I can use the seals on envelopes, cards or even scrapbook layouts.
