Handprint Flower Pots

I decided to include a handmade present with our mum's presents for Mother's Day this year.  We painted a pot at the Bunnings family night, so I decided to add Clay's handprints and make them into butterflies.  I think they turned out super cute!  Hope our mum's like them.

Bunnings' Mother's Day Family Night

Last night Craig, Clay, Diane and I headed to the Mother's day family  night at Bunnings.  There were so many activities to do - some for kids  and some for adults.  Clay painted a plaster trinket box and a wooden flower decoration, decorated a teacup shaped card and painted a flower pot.  Diane and I made a plant hanging from a grass mat - such a clever idea.  I nade an extra one for mum - she was originally going to join us, but had a big day laying a new floating  floor and was  too sore & tired.  The event was outside this time and a bit cool, but they had heaters to keep us warm.  This time they  had Dutch pancakes, sausage sizzle, popcorn and cakes/sweets.  It was another fabulous night and we are looking forward to the next one!

Mother's Day Afternoon at Kindy

Today mum, Diane and I went to Clay's kindy for a Mother's Day afternoon.  The kids did some  songs and danced, read a story, then pampered us.  We ate  shortbread biscuits the kids made, Clay made us each a coloured pasta necklace, watched the activities and took some  photos with the prop wall. Feeling very spoilt and loved by my gorgeous little boy xo

Cards

Some more cards created over the weekend and using some cute new stamps and dies.

Play Date

My friend Lindalee and her son Jaxson recently moved back to town, so we arranged a catch up and play date for the kids.  It was gorgeous weather today, so we headed to the Botanic Gardens playground for a play, then watched the steam train.  We were having such a great time together, we headed off to grab a quick lunch.

Cards

I brought some Australian theme dies recently and once they arrived I couldn't wait to play!!  The first card has an ink blended background.

These cards were made with an ink / water smooshing  technique which I find quicker and easier than the blending technique.

I'm super happy with how big the dies actually were and how these all turned out.

Thrifty Thursday

It's been awhile since my last op shop adventure - I was getting withdrawal symptoms LOL

I got these 2 craft punches for $2.50 each when Kristy and I went to the markets last visit.

Last weekend we went to 2 op shops - at the first oppies I found this peddle go kart for $8!

Clay absolutely loves it!!

At the 2nd shop I found a new top for $5

I got some clothes for Clay too - shirt $3 and shorts $4
