A little Easter Gocco

Someone has been having fun with the Gocco. A little picture with the Easter Mummy Bunny hopping into town! It's so cute

I made them into little notebooks by sewing some sheets of white paper inside and they will be delivered to the class friends today, last day of school term before Easter.

Hope you all have a lovely break and the Easter Mummy Bunny visits you too!

Craft ideas for the holidays?

I finally caught up on a friends blog she has a great recipe Benihana Japanese Fried Rice Recipe

I must try it soon.

Only 4 days till Easter break and I'll have a bit over a week without having to make school lunches, no reading groups, no early morning tennis, no Drama classes, no Rock climbing and best of all NO Homework YAY!

I think I will go to the local craft shop Spotlight and get some supplies for the kids school holiday activities.  Anyone got some ideas, I'd love to hear them, we love craft!  

What the kids are up to....

It's been an exciting school holidays. We are a pretty creative bunch, Woodworking Dad, Sewing Mum, Kids that love paper and paint! The kids have been creating up a storm. The Big One has admired my Etsy store and has wanted to add some of her stuff for ages.

I opened a Section called BonTonsKids for them. Not so sure about going and opening a new Etsy Shop. Within a couple of days, hearts appeared and before the excitement wore off, an item was featured in an Awesome Treasury!

So with the school holidays almost over, I still have the inevitable task of covering all the new school books with all the lovely paper and contact adhesive we've been collecting. I must say, this is not an activity I'm looking forward to.

Here is something new to be added soon to BonTonsKids! Be sure to check them out.

Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree

This week I finally got the stockings up and the beautiful personalised ornaments I bought off Etsy. Nanna has been and gone bringing all her Christmas goodies, the kids had a great time with her. Only 4 school days left until the Christmas holiday break. I can't wait!

Every year the kids get christmas cards and candy canes from their friends at school. This year I wanted to do something a little different. We've been making these little christmas tree ornaments that was inspired by the ones sold at "thecupcakery" on Etsy

They are sweet little things but we're halfway there (oooh Bon Jovi!) still more to make.
