Cricut Creations - Display Case

When i brought the plastic display cases from the op shop I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it...I knew I was going to display the apple from the Sphere, but add some Oz themed images :)  I am so pleased with how this turned out!

Cricut Creations - Mug

A few months ago I was gifted a mug press - I was so surprised and excited! I hadn't use it till this weekend as nowhere locally sold unfusible paper, so I had to order some online. This is my first attempt- the image got a little burnt, but I'm really happy with it :)  I made it for one of the techs at work - I hope he likes it.

3D Print Creations - Hooks

I've been busy printing hooks to hand my Loungefly/ Disney bags and Clay's Star Wars droid bag on.  Now I just need to get them onto the walls LOL

Thrifty Thursday

Saturday was my birthday and the boys asked what I wanted to do .... op shop of course!! LOL

I did start off at a 2nd hand book shop that I had been wanting to visit for ages - they posted pics of the Australian authors they have in stock and there were some books I had been looking for!  I've started reading another Fiona McCallum book recently and realised it's part of a trilogy.  I could follow the story, but decided I wanted to read the first 2 books ...and the book shop had them for $9 each!   They are actually a book exchange, so I will go through my books and exchange a few.

After the book shop it was time to head to Bargara to hit the oppies!!  At the first shop Clay and I found books total $4.50.  Clay found another Funny Kid book, I found the Mickey book for crafting, the Elf book will be gifted at Xmas and the Sleeping Beauty book is for our Disney collection.

I found this Dog Man board game for $4

At the 2nd op shop I found a much coverted item from my wish list....an Esterwidler brooch for $4!! It's the Sugar Plum Fairy (2018 collection) - the gold wind up part from the side is broken off, but I dont mind.  I didn't even know it was Esterwilder until after I brought it and did a Google search!

Books $4 total (I love Vinnies 3 for $2 of kids books!)

More books $2 & $3. 

Games $2 each - we were excited to find the Christmas game - we have the Taco, Pizza...game version and it's very popular :)

We headed back into town and one last op shop for my birthday fun and I started off with another book -$3!  This is the the prequal of the book I recently read.

Mini beaded tree necklace $2

Roll of burlap ribbon $4

Monday Craig and I both had RDO, so when he went into work to grab his jacket I popped into the op shop 3 doors down ;)  The volunteer that was sorting out the books said they get a lot of Rachel John books in - so I'm taking that as I sign will need to visit more regularly LOL 

Book $1

Display cases $1 each - I think these are the perfect size for the foam apples Kristy and I have from the Sphere Wizard of Oz.

Frame $2 - I have a picture ledge idea and this will be a great size!

Dress $5

Brand new set of cheese knives $4 - I LOVE this brand!  Kristy brought me a similar set for our camper and they are fantastic!!

Cricut Creations - Bag

I wanted to make bag for a friend's birthday and this SVG was perfect for her :)  I used a combination of gold glitter, green foil and plain black HTV for the design.  The green foil was an absolute nightmare to cut and weed, but after 2 goes I finally hot it done LOL  It's a bit hard yo photograph, but turned out really pretty - I hope she likes it :)

Everyday Moments

Winter means it's home made pumpkin soup time - delicious!!

Some more lego set - I have an addiction LOL The Kmart set was a cute find - it's like an Alice In Wonderland inspired set!  I was wary about buying "mini blocks", but they are bringing out standard sized / Lego compatible sets now.  The wreath set was super exciting- I've wanted it since Easter and I managed to buy it 1/2 price - bargain!

Crazy sock & crazy hair day :)

It waa my birthday and work spoilt me with balloons and donuts on Friday :)

I had a lovely birthday today- I finally got to visit a 2nd hand book shop I had been following on FB, did some op shopping and then finished the day with dinner and listening to a band. We hadn't been to the pub before - the meal was really nice - I had pork belly tacos!
