Display Boxes

My daughter wanted to know if I wanted to learn how to make "displays" yesterday.

I said, of course I did, but I had to ask what a "display" was.  In answer, she showed me one that she had made.


She explained that first you "collect garbage things and usable things" and then you "arrange them in a design on top of a box".

"You can use it for any different thing you want."

She walked me through the steps and I made one too.

First, we found an old box.

Then I found my garbage things and usable things and arranged them in a design.
Then we put the two displays together to photograph them.  She chose the multi-coloured cloth to offer a little contrast. I think it's a nice touch.

Proper Cry

Photo Source:  thesetingstaketime.com  via  Stephanie  on  Pinterest I love to laugh.  I love laughing so hard I lose  control.  I love that release.    For this reason and lots of others, I could not wait to see the blockbuster, Bridesmaids last summer.  Everyone told me, "you are going to pee yourself. It is so FUNNY." And yes, I almost did pee myself, but I also cried through almost the entire last half of the movie.  I did not laugh so hard I cried, I just plain sobbed. I felt really sad watching the story of two friends come to terms with how their friendship was changing.  I was really surprised by my reaction after all the hype about how hilarious the movie was, but I knew why.  The brilliance of this movie was how life can be so hilarious and painful at the same time.    Yesterday, I was on a social networking site and one of the people I follow mentioned that she cried "proper tears" upon reading a story about a woman's tragic childhoo
