All I could think about was my Mom...who used to love BINGO and was faithful about going at least once a week...as long as I can remember...up until she died. And she wasn't fat. And she took me and my 5 siblings when we lived in Turkey (Dad was military) because it was the only sane thing she had to do. (At least, I think so). I was between the ages of 5 and 12 so my memory might be skewed. When we moved to Mississippi, I was still young and wascally enough that she didn't leave me at home with the older kids so I can't tell you how many times I was disappointed at the BINGO table. YUK!
Anyhoo, I looked for pictures of Mom on my desktop...but that computer is all messed up and going through therapy...so all my images are missing files and I don't have any of her on my laptop. Hmmm. Scratch THAT idea.
Then, I made myself sit down with my baggies full of
Then it took me two hours to find, cut, and paste words and pictures onto a piece of cardboard from an old tissue box cover and I didn't like it AT ALL when I'd finished. (Thankfully, my granddaughter was here sitting next to me watching ME and cartoons and asking 43,000 questions which made it 'tolable'. Soooo, I covered it with glittery stuff, cut it in half, and today it isn't so bad. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoy hearing the stories behind the tags each week - yours is so interesting - a childhood in Turkey! And your tag is great .- sums up the theme - fun taking risks.
ReplyDeleteWell done for sticking with it.It's terrible when you get stuck for ideas it happens to me a lot.
ReplyDeleteWell done for sticking with it, I think it's a fab little tag!!
ReplyDeleteGood to do stuff we don't like, even if it just confirms that we don't like a particular theme or technique! Well done for persevering, and for setting a good example for your granddaughter in sticking with stuff you don't want to do!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness ... you are a amazing! The creativity that came out of the tag is awesome because of your thought process and we are honoured to have that tag showing here. Thank you so much for posting it and sharing the story. I hope you enjoy this week's theme a little better. It's all down to personal interpretation isn't it. Have fun ♥
