Everyday Moments

Questacon did some shows / science experiments at Clay's school and he asked one of the teachers to take a photo for him LOL


A certain naughty puppy does not like sleeping in the bathroom!  Good thing we already had a replacement door - might hold off installing it until Monty starts sleeping in the laundry with Mav.


Craig and Clay surprised me with flowers as an early birthday present.


Work spoilt me -  a bunch of balloons, fancy donuts and a lovely post on our FB page :)




Sunday after Questacon- we had fish & chips and a play at the beach for my birthday, with Tabs, Larissa, Lindalee,  Josh and the kids.  It was a lovely relaxed afternoon enjoying the lovely weather and spending time together.





Lindalee gave me 2 gorgeous tops for my birthday and I couldn't wait to wear this gorgeous red one!


Clay's friend Landon was in town for the weekend, so he went over to the RC track to see him racing and then Landon came back home with us to spend the afternoon together.

New Tattoo

I got my birthday present today - a new tattoo :)  I used the same artist Craig did for his wolf tattoo - love her work!  I combined 3 different designs and am thrilled with the final result!  It is my first tattoo with shading & colour ands I did find that a bit painful, but so worth it :)

Bluey's Rewards

We are very proud of Clay - he got an award for 10x Bluey tickets (positive behaviour / following rules/etc) for the term. He was given a drink bottle as a prize, then while on stage they did the draw for that week's Bluey tickets and Clay's name got drawn out!  That's makes 11 tickets for the term :)

Questacon Science Circus

Another day of new adventures - this time we headed to the Questacon science circus with Larissa, Tabs and the kids. The kids had an absolute ball doing all the science activities and we watched 4x science demonstrations.  It was a fun filled morning :)

Sugar Pop Con

Today Tabs & I tried something new and took the kids to Sugar Pop Con. It was a small event, but enough to see and great stalls.  It was lots of fun to see all the costumes and everyone was very friendly and obliging when the kids asked for photos :)  We said we would love to go again and would try and have costumes for the kids next time.

Cricut Creations - Glass Etched Jar

Kriaty gave me this bottle of glass etch cream last year and I had thrifted some glass jars ready to use when trying glass etching - all I needed was a project!  One of my work friend had a birthday coming up next week, so I decided to decorate a jar for her as a gift.


The first step is to cut a stencil from vinyl using the cricut and stick on the jar, making sure to press it down completely.


I love this pink bottle / tumbler holder tool!


Next step is to spread the paste thickly over the stencil and leave for 2-3 mins before washing off - very easy!


The final result!it is a little patchy in a few small areas, but overall turned out fabulously!  Now I want to try some more ideas :)
