Here's another entry for the very clever Oct 2010 Camera Corner Challenge, to scrap a photo that tells a story, using lots of delicious products by Ninascraps.
Journaling Reads:
1970s: There was a large space in the middle of our bedroom at Chipstead St, space in which we played, having moved the table out of the way. Sometime we played with our Sindy dolls, other times it might be horses, but a favourite game involved the table itself. Upturned it ceased to be a table but became a boat, into which we climbed and sailed the seven seas, sometimes as pirates other times as sea captains, yet others as kids living on own island all very Swallows & Amazons. I remember the thrill of driving it, the feeling of being in charge and decided what & where we should go. I remember feeling safe inside the boat. Of course, it wasnt blue in those days.
2010: Jammie & Woody were making a big mess in Grandmas sitting room, throwing cushions around & bouncing off the furniture. When they tipped over the table I was catapulted back 35 yrs to those games at home in our boat. I told the boys about our boat and they leapt on board with great enthusiasm. But looking at how squashed they were inside it, aged only 5, made me realise that Em & I must have been even younger when we played these games, for I dont recall being that squeezed in.
Wonderful memories, a photo was required shame about the shocking mess all around!
