Leadership Badge Ceremony

Clay had his leadership badge ceremony today for school captain- we are so proud of him!

We celebrated with Cold Rock icecream afterwards  :)

Decluttering - Dining Room Cupboard

Next on the declutter list was this kitchen cupboard! It was  great sized cupboard, but the windows showed the clutter inside :(

And here's the clutter....party decorations  cookbooks, cake decorating equipment, etc.

I brought this hutch from kmart to match the loungeroom sideboard (the handles don't match  which irks me, but since they are in separate rooms I can live with it)

The top shelves display is a work in progress - I'm not 100% sure what I want yet.

The bottom shelves had a HUGE declutter! On the left side is party decorations.  I had complete luck woth the containers I brought from Kmart - the fit in the perfectly!  Bottom shelf is cookbooks at the back and tandom bits at the front.  I brought some more containers for the right side (cookie cutters / baking moulds/etc) - I will label them with my cricut.

Everyday Moments

Clay went to a leadership conference on Friday with all the school leaders from the primary schools in our town / district.  He was really excited to go and had a great time.

My brother and family were in town for a few days so we popped over to see them all few times. My great niece Ellie and Clay had a wonderful time playing together :)

Clay made frog hotel at a Bunnings workshop - it turned out really cute!

I've become obsessed with Loungefly bags and loved this Harry Potter I found online.  It is gorgeous and I love all the details on it!

Clay had his 2nd week at pickelball and is loving it - they got some cute stickers.

Tabs brought me this gorgeous flamingo garden ornament - I love it!!  I'm going to keep it on the verandah so it doesn't get damaged from the weather.

Thrifty Thursday

I popped into my 2 favw oppies on Sunday. At the first shop I found -

Homewares were 50% off and I brought these 2 small Tupperware containers for $1 each.  They are the perfect size for dressings.

A container full of twines and a packet of brooch backings $6

Everyday Moments

I finally started building one of the Creator sets I got for my birthday.

The current minifig series are too cute to resist- I brought 3 more LOL

Chris surprised Clay with an amazing parcel in the mail - a box full of footy membership merchanise.

I'm making it a goal this year to spend less time mindlessly scrolling and start reading the ever growing collection of books on my shelves.  So far this month I've read 4 Fleur McDonald books.  They were all a great read and I'm looking forward to reading more.

I started building a new Creator set and needed to open all 5 bags - this baking tray was perfect to be able to sort through all the pieces.

First design from the ocean themed series built - crab and a cute jellyfish!

I was spoilt with "just because" flowers - how cheerful are these sunflowers?!

Yesterday we babysat Torrie while Tabs cleaned the unit ready for the move out.  The kids played on the VR headset, then we took them to lunch and grabbed some groceries.  The new Woolworths brick promo started - so we let the kids get a mini brick set each.  We all built lego at the table, then the kid's went for a swim.  Tabs arrived just as we were all having waffles - fun finish to the day :)

The 2nd design from my birthday Creator set.
