Card

A birthday card for one of the guys at work.  They are all Star Wars fans, so I think I might need to add some stamps and dies to my collection (or stamp and cut more out next visit to Kristy's since she has a HUGE collection LOL).

Cards

I used the card kit I brought from the op shops to make this year's Mother's Day cards. The first card was the kit with some twine and being added.  The 2nd card I added fabric flowers and a doiley.

Everyday Moments

Clay has been practising his baking skills at DEAFinitley Connected - ready to enter some cupcakes in the local show this month. They are delicious- will have to get the recipe to make some at home!

I went out to a work lunch to celebrate Larissa's 30 years with the company - I had the most delicious lemon coconut prawn curry!

We had breakfast out last Sunday - lovely way to start the morning :)

I planted my op shop succulents into the cute heart planter.

With Craig being away every 2nd week - Clay's been missing him, so they had a "Daddy & Clay" day on Monday (public holiday) and headed to the bowling alley to play arcade games and ride the dodgem cars.

Starting the morning off in the sun with a puzzle and drink of Milo.

Josh is starting a power washing business and asked if he could clean our back patio area for practice and pictures, so Lindalee came over to catch up while he eas working.  We chatted,  did some crafting then finished with some gaming on the switch LOL

I had a lovely Mother's Day today - Clay made / brought some lovely goodies from school stall and the boys spoilt me with my own game & controller and my fave chocolates.  We had a lovely relaxed day at home - just what I needed after a few busy weeks at work and socialising.

Aruora Australis

Craig found out that the Aruora Australis was visible last night, so we jumped in the car and headed to the hummock (literally the only hill in town) to take some pics.  Seems like LOTS of other people had the same idea - and we were all taking pics and chatting about it :)  It was crazy that it was not visible with the naked eye, but we were able to capture this amazing sight with night mode on our phones / cameras!  These are a few of the pictures I managed to capture.

Bunnings Mothers Day Night

Last night we met up with Tabs & Torrie at Bunnings for the Mother's Day night. There was games, sausage sizzle, crafts and face painting. There was even an adults only craft activity - decorating a cheeseboard, so Craig took the kids to face painting and doing some crafts while Tabs and I painted our boards. Unfortunately Clay had a sore back, so we had to leave earlier than planned so I didn't get my board waxed / finished - so will have to do that another day. We love going to these nights - always lots to do :)
