Making cubbies out of sheets and the dining table, making up dances in the lounge room on the red shag carpet and learning how to make macrame wall hangings (I am pretty sure it was an owl)
ReplyDeleteThese are a few of my favourite things!
Thanks for the memories!!
So lovely! I'd add trawling through the rubbish at parks, beaches etc for cans to recycle. I can't remember how much we got per kilo as we usually did it for fundraising for scouts or guides. Oh, and spending hours up a tree just daydreaming :)
