School Holidays - Week 1

Nanny was feeling better these holidays and looked after Clay - he was so happy :) Monday was a chilled day at home and Tuesday they caught the bus into town in the morning to have breakfast at their fave cafe and run a few errands.

Clay particpated in an awesome gamers workshop on Wednesday & Thursday this week!  They painted thier game controller and designed a computer game - he really enjoyed both day. We are looking forward to the showcase night next week where we get to see and play the video game he created!

Friday was another chilled day at home, then Saturday Landon was in town and came iver for the day :)

This .morning I had a Bunnings craft activity booked, but when Clay say it was a Zen garden he didn't want to do it, so we headed op shopping instead.

Saturday morning I headed to my fave op shops - I hadn't been for 2 weeks and I was itching to find some goodies!! LOL

At the first shop books were on sale for $1 each!!

Stamp $2

At the 2nd shop I found I found earrings - $4 a pair.

LGB and a book for Clay $2 each

Harry Potter cookbook $7

At the last shop for the day I acored this amazing Tradie brand shirt $12 - it's too big for him at the moment, but Clay has already claimed it LOL

Some cute Halloween stuff - macrame bat kit $2.  I brought this for Tabs  - not sure if I will make it first or just give her the kit to make it herself.

Large plastic jack-o-lantern $2

I had only mentioned recently to Kristy that I needed to buy some more scrapbook page sleeves so we could make glitter pages with the fusing tool and I scored this huge packet for $8!

Book $6

Everyday Moments

I ordered these cute Disney figurines from Ali Express thinking I could turn them into Christmas tree ornaments.  When they arrived I actually had to put them together LOL  They are a little big, so I'm not sure they will work as ornaments.

Mango weis bar slushie - so delicious!

Big W has started putting their xmas decorations out - I grabbed a bin chicken ornament each for Kristy and I!!

Sunday we took mum for a drive down to Moore Park beach for a drive and to get her out of the house for the morning.

After a few rainy days and our holiday - Clay was back at pickleball this week :)

Tabs brought me this cute Mickey - she suggested I turn him into a xmas tree ornament for my Disney tree - she knows me so well LOL 

Thrifty Thursday

I didn't have a chance to go op shopping while we were on holidays, but I did pop into a 2nd hand book shop at Airlie Beach :)

I found another Funny Kid book for Clay $8.80 and 2 books for me $10 & $11.  Prices are higher than op shop prices, but they were books I had been looking for, for ages. Jilted is the prequel tp the book that got me hooked on Racheal Johns.

However...the Little Golden Books were only $1.50, so I brought the 12 she had!

I brought this LGB off marketplace when we got home - it was from a sketchy neighbourhood amd smells like cigarettes- so will have to find something to diffuse the smell.  It was $5 which is more than I would usually pay, but it was airplanes and I knew Clay or Kristy would love it as a junk journal.

Book Week pics from school FB page.

I made the first design from a mini creator set while the boys were at the footy.

Craig and Clay popped into a Cash Converters at Townsville and brought me Halloween Mickey & Minnie pop vinyls - so cute!

I read another 3 books in August, bringing my total so far to 31 books :)

Father's day - presents in the morning, then we went out to Chinese lunch with Poppy and a chilled afternoon at home :)

I splurged on a new crafting tool and it finally arrived!! Its for binding books. I want to try making  junk journals with the Little Gilden books Ive been buying :)  I can't wait to unbix it smd play on the weekend!

One of the guys at work has a multi- filament printer and is working on printing me this bag charm that I found on a Disney 3D Print FB group. This is a first run - needs some tweaking - I can't wait for the final print!
