Pour Palz

Clay got acute bunny pour kit for Easter, so I decided to buy a $5 key ring kit so we could make them together.


We set up at the kitchen table and started creating.  I liked the fact that my kit had a large plastic drop sheet to protect the table. The figurines looked fabulous with the marble effect, but it slowly ran down and formed streaks instead - that was disappointing.  We also found that in some spots the paint completely ran off and left areas blank, so we had to go back a few times and cover the spots. 




Final products :)

Show Day Adventures Happy Days Diner & Cistern Chapel

After the museum, we headed to Happy Days Diner - a 50's Retro style diner - for lunch. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and then had fun taking pics of all the fun displays :)













After lunch we went to city hall so Torrie could see the war celebration cake and the painted public bathroom and golden toilet (Cistern Chapel).



From there we headed to Hervey Bay and dropped in to say hello to the techs in our office there, before heading home.  It was a lovely, fun filled day and much cheaper than going to the show LOL

Show Day Adventures- Mary Poppins Story Bank

Today was a public holiday for the show, so Tabs and I took the kids on an adventure to Maryborough. Craig was away for work this week, so he missed out.  


We started at The Story Bank (Mary Poppins museum).  The kids swapped out some of their books we had packed at the little library and took some pics in the garden.




Then into the Story Bank - it is completely immersive and you are encouraged to open drawers and look through the books and displays.  The rotary phone had the kids stumped and made Tabs and I feel ancient LOL We tried on costumes and explored all the different rooms.  The shadow theatre was lots of fun :)
