<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had these beige little canvases in my guest room and they looked good till we changed the room colours to blue and white....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I liked these canvases as they fitted on the small space we had them on but oh the colour was wrong...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a piece of fabric I found in my stash and by starting at the corners I used a staple gun to do the corners first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I just stapled each side pulling the fabric to keep it taught...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And as quick as I started they were finished....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even I was surprised by just how easy they were to do....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now if I see a canvas and its wrong I know how easy it is to change the look.</div>

<br />
When we did the guest room reno I got this bird wallpaper .<br />
<br />
When I got the wallpaper I wasn't real happy but I thought it would look much better on the wall...<br />
<br />
It wasn't but I could live with it...<br />
<br />
Well I did for awhile then I bought a blue and white quilt to go in the room and then I knew the wall paper had to go...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had seen where someone had used timber flooring on the wall and I liked it.<br />
<br />
So one Sunday Kevin started to put the timber on the wall and slowly the wallpaper went and slowly I started to smile...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I cant believe how great it looked....<br />
<br />
Kev just used a nail gun to put it on the walls and by Sunday night it was finished...<br />
<br />
Probably could have been finished sooner but he is a perfectionist sometimes....<br />

<br />

<br />
I saw this blanket on a friends post on Instagram and fell in love with it...<br />
<br />
So in a mad rush it was up to the wool shop and I got all my supplies and once again the world felt good.....<br />
<br />
What I don't do things like that do I ?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now for the life of me I couldn't get this bloody pattern URGHHHH<br />
<br />
So back to the wool shop to see if they could help me before I chucked it....<br />
<br />
What do I do that?<br />
<br />
Actually I do but I get it from my mother ha ha ....<br />

Well somehow I worked it out with the woolshops help and I am back to doing it...<br />
<br />
I like the pattern now that I can do it the only problem is it is too short it is only going to be a lap or bassinette throw if I was to do it again (maybe ) I would do it twice the size.....<br />
<br />
Now to finish it before I get sick of it and move onto something else...<br />
<br />
Do I do that ?<br />
<br />
YES I BLOODY WELL DO ...ha ha <br />
love<br />

I nearly cried when I did this collage .<br />
<br />
Just seeing how much he has grown up .....lucky you can still see some excitement at the thought of going back to school although how long this will last is any ones idea.<br />
<br />
So mothers gather your kids tight tonight and kiss them and remember just how fast they are growing...<br />
<br />
I don't think I will let Aidan go<br />

<br />
It was a hard decision as we all loved Miss Lilly and I think its that reason that why we knew the time was right.<br />
<br />
This time we wanted another Boxer.We loved our Boxer Spud she had the best temperament and fitted into the family well so a Boxer it was and oh it had to be red and a girl.<br />
<br />
Yep a big order but if it was to happen it had to tick our list....<br />
<br />

<br />
This is different ...<br />
<br />
I made the this square over a year ago and then haven't touched it...<br />
<br />
So really instead of it being a new project I am actually only finishing an old project right ? ha ha <br />
<br />
Oh well only 35 more squares to go and at the rate I'm doing them one a year I better hurry up and get going he he he <br />
<br />
love<br />

<br />
Kev wanted to throw it out but I couldn't let him I really loved this birdhouse...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We decided to put it on a post and placed it in the garden looking over where our girls are buried.<br />
Spud and Miss Lilly.<br />
<br />
I feel this Church was meant to be fixed so it could watch over the girls as beautifully as it does...<br />

<br />
Kerry isn't into bright colours or novelty themes she likes a simple monochrome theme so that's what I gave her....<br />

I found this paper in Spotlight and wished they had heaps more instead of just one sheet but hey I got that sheet and made each boy their own letter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now I love these blocks.<br />
<br />
Kev cuts them out for me and then I painted them in white and with a grey paint that I mixed up the letters take shape.<br />
<br />
I love how these craft items turned out and lucky for me so did Kerry.<br />
<br />
love<br />

<br />
It doesn't matter what colour the balls are I love them and I love knowing that they will become family treasures to be put out each year.<br />
<br />
Long when I am forgotten hopefully the balls are still getting put on the Christmas trees and giving people pleasure.<br />
<br />

Teacher gifts URGHH!!!!<br />
<br />
I really hate teacher gifts.....<br />
<br />
I mean how many coffee cups with 'Best Teacher' them can a teacher have.<br />

Well I decided to do something different.</div>
<br />
I saw this on Pinterest and thought brilliant...<br />
<br />
So I made Cookies in a jar....<br />
<br />
That way the teacher could use it whenever she wanted to or re gift it ha ha <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had some Mason jars from I don't know where but Kmart sell them.<br />
<br />
I made a little label for the front and also printed out the recipe and stuck it on the lid.<br />
<br />
We had some silver ribbon so that decorated the jar perfectly...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Biggest hint I can give is make a cone out of a sheet of paper and pour your ingredients into the jar via this cone ,it made it easier to fill the jars..<br />
<br />
<br />
To make these yummy cookies here is what I did <br />
<br />
Layer the jar by adding the following<br />
<br />
2 cups of self raising flour<br />
1 tablespoon baking powder<br />
3/4cup of brown sugar<br />
3/4 cup of sugar<br />
1 tablespoon salt<br />
fill rest of jar with choc chips<br />
<br />
<br />
The recipe I printed to go with these ingredient's was<br />
<br />
heat to mod oven<br />
grease cookie tray<br />
<br />
tip jar into a bowl and mix<br />
add<br />
1/2 cup of softened butter<br />
1 egg<br />
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence<br />
mix<br />
<br />
drop spoonful onto tray bake 10 -15 mins<br />
<br />

Careful close your eyes ....<br />
<br />
Don't look at the photo...<br />
<br />
Its an illegal photo...<br />
<br />
WHAT!!!<br />
<br />
Yes that's right .<br />
<br />
Aidan had his end of year concert last week and Kerry Manny jaxon and Levi came to see it ...<br />
<br />
We were told NO PHOTOS...<br />
<br />
I thought about it and worked this out...<br />
<br />
$40 tickets<br />
$10 program<br />
$10 costumes<br />
<br />
$60 and no photo your kidding,anyway I was lucky Aidan when he came out was just right in front of me so I got out my phone and CLICK I got a photo...<br />
<br />
The worse part of the concert was Aidan only was in one song ...I think they have to change the way they do these concerts..<br />
<br />
Oh throughout the rest of the concert phones were working over time taking photos...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Well running isn't what you would call it anyway Kev said whats wrong and I told him how I think she under charged me Kevin started laughing and pointed to a sign....<br />
<br />
ALL Christmas decorations were 50 % off....<br />
<br />

I have been scrapping a lot on my phone lately and I didn't want to print them out at home so I took them to Office works and got them printed on a4 white light weight card.<br />
<br />
This cost 55cents a page but it was worth it they look great...<br />
<br />
I had already made my pages to be 20x 20 cm so by getting it on A4 pages I just had to trim the card up...<br />
<br />
The program I used to do these pages was Becky Higgins Project life.It costs about $2 then you buy scrap kits which are yours to use over and over again....<br />

I like to make cupcakes for special occasions that happen throughout the year and Aidan gets a buzz out of taking the cakes in...he feels special and if all it takes is some cupcakes to make him happy he will get cupcakes ha ha ha <br />

So for Halloween you cant go past googly eyes looking at you...<br />
<br />
I got the eyes from the Reject shop for some silly price....<br />
<br />
You also cant forget the Spiders bought from the same place....<br />
<br />
Aidan thought it funny that his teacher let out a scream when she saw the cakes it just topped it all off...<br />
<br />
I think they all turned out great <br />
<br />
BOO !!!<br />
