Thrifty Thursday

I got to pop into 2 of my fave oppies on Saturday morning :)  At the first shop I finally found some Disney Little Golden Books- $2 each!! I've been searching for these for ages - I want to make some junk journals with them. 

Books for Clay $1 each - he's been reading this series at school and really enjoying them.

Books for me $3-$5 each.  I was surprised to find more Fleur McDonald books- I thought I had them all LOL 

At the 2nd shop I found craft goodies! Stamps $6 -

Dies $3-$4 each

Minnie Mouse ears $1 - I have a craft project in mind for these :)

A friend sent me a message that my local Harvey Norman had a table of discounted Cricut stock - so I popped in for a look :)  I brought a 3 pack of hats $5 and the packs of pens & vinyl were $10 each- bargains :)

Everyday Moments

I wanted to buy a fuse tool, but couldn't find any in stock online.  A Google search said that a soldering iron was a great alternative, so after some research and chatting with the techs I brought this one!! I can't wait to have a play with it :)

The puppies went for a long overdue grooming appt - they look so cute and very different! LOL It was Monty's first time and he did really well!

Corellas in the tree and on the powerline next to work one late afternoon.

Pretty winter sunsets :)

Dates with Craig :)  We went to see Super Troopers 3 and had lunch afterwards - so nice to spend time together.

Bag Charm

Clay loved the Mickey bag charm I brought online and asked if there was a similar Baymax one.  I did a search and we couldn't anything, so I offered to make one :)

I ordered most of the components off Ali Express and used some cord & beads from my stash.

Clay's Baymax bag charm - he loves it!

Everyday Moments

Clay recieved a principal's award for "Being a positive role model" - I can't express how proud we are of him!

Clay's school won breaky with Triple M and he was interviewed - he did an amazing job!
 

Clay was invited to celebrate NAIDOC Week at Shalom College. Students enjoyed a variety of cultural activities, interactive stalls, face painting, and dancing while celebrating the rich cultures, histories, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We FINALLY got our replacement loungechair in the right colour - woo hoo!! LOL 

I read 3 books in July - total 29 so far for the year.

Clay receieved a prize for Japanese at parade today. He was awarded a traditional kimono for creating an invention that was for Japanese people. He came up with an idea / design for a little box that sits inside of your shoe to stop spiders / animals getting into your shoes. When a Japanese Dojo heard about his invention they sent him a jacket as well.
