The four of us sat huddled together on the couch.
The boys listened intently to me reading – in character – from Rumpelstilskin: “……and a small, funny little man entered the room and asked: Rumpelstilskin, why are you so sad?” Upon hearing about Rumpelstilskin’s dilemma of having to spin straw into gold before the morning, the funny little man sat down at the spindle and completed the task for her.
For a while we were transported into a world of magic and wonder through the story.
As adults we do not often have the opportunity to be part of this mystic world of magic and wonder. Aaaah … that feeling of drifting away on a soft cloud with your eyes closed and reality just a distant memory… But when our family comes together we LIVE a story for a while!
My layout for this week is titled ‘Tell me a story’ and I used old book paper to create fluffy clouds to carry me away 😉 I used pictures of me and my siblings having fun.
The film strip above the zig-zag paper is from a real old movie roll that Frans bought in its case from a second-hand shop!
Postage stamps remind me of the letters we used to have before e-mail and sms’ that brought news and stories from someone else.
I punched flowers from book paper and used it with the stamps and buttons to create clusters on the background that lead the eye from left to right on the layout.
The book paper and film strips tie in with my ‘story’ theme and part of the title sits on a fluffy book paper cloud .
Join my story on Saturday and together we will float away on a cloud of fun…
Very pretty. Sien uit!!
