A girl can never have too many pretties!

Teacher Gift- Crayon Monogram
As the end of another school years draws close, it was time to think of a gift for Miss Werber. A google search unearthed this crayon momogram that I thought would be an easy and personal gift. Although it turned out trickier and more time consuming that I planned, the end result was well worth it!
My advise is choose a chunky font- my first attempt was with a different font and it was near impossible to cut the crayons as small as they needed to be. I hope Miss Werber loves and and uses it for many years to come!
Note to self- do not leave mobile phone on car roof!
My poor mobile phone's life came to an abrupt end last week when I left it on the car roof and drove to pick Kaleb up from school! Fortunately I retraced my steps and found it in pieces on the highway! So thankful that my sim was okay! And loving my new phone :)
Ways to keep cool!
Our air conditioning decided to have a broken motor during the hottest 2 weeks of the year so far. We were without air con for 2 1/2 weeks and got creative and desperate to keep cool. Nothing like a bit of water to cool the kids down though.

I also successfully upcycled a ladies dress into a skirt, shorts and pillowcase top for Bethany and am regretting not taking before photos of the dress. It was sad to pull the dress apart (it was a layered grey and yellow dress- quite pretty) but satisfying to upcycle it for Bethany for a cost of $4!
Happy 2nd Birthday Bethany
Despite waking up far too early, Miss B enjoyed a lovely day for her birthday, with lots of lovely gifts and a fun morning at bible study. Thanks Nana & Grandad for coming out for dinner and making her day extra special!
