Remember when you were a little kid and would stay in the pool for HOURS? You'd be shivering and shriveled and turning blue, but insisted you needed more time before you had to get out for dinner...

I was reminded of that watching some children splash around this weekend...

Fascinating.

Everyone's discussing Toronto and she comes up with that non-sequitor.

Moms, have a blast up there. The museums are great -- they showed the Picasso Erotique exhibition when American museums wouldn't. The stores are great, but really what blows me away are the restaurants. Go to Greektown and chow down!

NYadgal...my lips were blue more times than I can count because I refused as a child to come out of the pool.

Zola...this is what happens alot on this thread..we change subjects when a memory strikes us. Haven't you been reading???

Nope, haven't really focused on it. Sorry, boobs. But now that I'm locked in a lovetruce with the adgal, I will be sure read carefully.

When the drinks party with Nina?

Did someone say drinks?

...I have a few hours until the Monday morning alarm goes off, so why not?!

Cheers, all!

Kamikazes or Veuve??? Only one more please while I make more designs with my spirograph.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 8/8/04 at 9:14pm

I am seriously jealous that you have yours already! I ordered mine from Amazon on Thursday, so it will probably arrive when I'm away.

Just one, indeed, you don't want to get looped when you're making loops.

Veuve. It's Sunday.

[Broadwayboobs]

Sipping veuve while watching Six Feet Under and playing with my spirograph..what could be better?

How about a new big box of crayola crayons and a new Lone Ranger coloring book. Coloring for hours used to give me so much pleasure. Another time consuming hobby was those paint by number sets with the little viles of paint. Oh the joy of creating art.

I remember painting a paint by number horse...I was so proud of that painting. I saved it for years. Do you ever wonder what ever happened to all that stuff we saved from our childhood?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 8/8/04 at 9:30pm

It's all in my mothers attic. ALL of it!

I loved getting a brand new box of crayons! The feelings came flooding back about a year ago when I took my niece and nephew to the crayon factory in PA. Brand new Crayola crayons in every color of the rainbow!! Joy!

Hook rugs - remember them? My niece just got one, so I've been showing her how to do the hook. I'm the queen of needlework. (although after a glass or two of Veuve...)

Yes, I was just saying the other day as I was walking around an antique show that I would kill to have all my old toys including Barbie dolls, Davy Crockett coonskin hat, baseball cards etc etc. I know I have boxes of my own kids art projects and I have no idea whatever happened to anything of mine!

After mastering paint-by-numbers next came mosaics-by-numbers. Anyone else remember those?

Your own tile mosaic made by grouping colored pieces of pebbles or glass in numbered groups on an outlined picture.

In the days before others could entertain us on computers.

My best friend is really into the 'Creative Memories' scrapbooking, and has been diligently saving everything for her children, with stories about how she felt when she received their home-made Valentine, or what they were doing when they made a project of some sort.
A combination Diary, Scrapbook, Photo Album.
It's an incredible gift for them.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 8/8/04 at 9:38pm

I loved those mosaics by numbers!

And I liked making stained glass with black construction paper and different colors of cellophane (spelling??). I'd hang them up in my windows, and would love to watch the colors come through on the wall.

Never did the mosaic thing Jose', but I remember them.

We used to paint tiles. They would come with a picture on them and then you paint them and bake them. We had so many that my Mom would give them to relatives..you would use them on the table to put hot pots on.

I was so determined as a child to be able to color within the lines... I would color for hours until I could do it...it might have taken 13 years, but I did it...LOL !!!

I remember in 4th grade we used to do mosaic project by tearing construction paper into small pieces and then glueing them onto a big picture drawn out but them we "colored it" with the mosaic pieces until it looked almost painted. It would take days to finish and only the kids that were fairly artistic were allowed to work on it. It was a lot of fun.

I liked glitter.

Give me Elmers glue and glitter and I was happy.
I had vials of glitter in every color of the rainbow.

My mother hated glitter. For obvious reasons...

our poor Moms - if it wasn't one thing, it was another. And, the messier the better!

Can you say, Biz Bag?!

Posted: 8/8/04 at 9:48pm

Yes as a mom I hated play dough and finger painting! Yuck

In grammar school we used to take a clear bottle and glue all different color tissue paper to it and then put a clear varnish over the entire thing. Pretty cool.

Posted: 8/8/04 at 9:52pm

OK, how many of us made our moms or dads ceramic ash trays in art class?

Extra points if mom/dad still has it!

I was an 'arts and crafts' counselor in a camp for a few summers when I was a teenager...talk about a GREAT job! (for lots of reasons...)

And, remember what we all did with tongue-blades?! (keep it clean, folks...we're talking about our childhood!) You could build amazing things with them!
