Catching up with some of the older themes - this one suited me very well!

Journal reads: "One of the things my mother tells me of my early childhood is that I had a fascination with water. Whenever there was a paddle pool or a fountain, I would want to play with it, wade in it, sit and watch it for hours… Bigger bodies of water, like swimming pools, the Pfrimm bourn and the river Rhine, held the same attraction, much to my mother’s dismay because she was endlessly worried that I would fall in and drown, even once I’d learnt to swim which was before I could run.

WARNING........NAKID CHILDREN...........WARNING

When I was growing up, my sister and I shared everything.........even baths! When I was young, I thought it was just because we were so close. As I grew up and began paying my own water bills...........I discovered the truth :lol:

I actually chose this category because of this picture of my dad and I blowing bubbles in a swimming pool. I recycled some packaging for the little bubble windows and used AI on it to make it look like water.

What a nice addition to your childhood deck. Great idea to choose a theme from a photo you already have.

Yes they are! And the bubbles are the packaging from Tim's gears.

Thanks, and I need ideas for all that packaging I save. Tim has some great shaped plastic packaging.
