Still doing last years weekly challenge on the ukstampers forum and week 50 is about Toys:
- What toy do you remember from childhood, what was your favourite toy? Was there a toy you wanted and never got?
- Do you still have any of your childhood toys? Have you any toys that have been handed down to you? If so what do they mean to you?
- Use some vintage images on your page.
Gosh where do I start with toys I remember; there have been so many over the years. I remember a dolls house that my mum made, lots of dolls and girly stuff, roller skates, pogo sticks, sledge, bike, board games, crafty things, colouring books, cot, pram etc. I also used to play with my brothers’ toys like hot wheels, garage, cars, mecano and many more. At Christmas time we would always get a Broons or an Oor Wullie annual which we couldn’t wait to read. I don’t have any of these toys now as sadly none have survived and many were given away for someone else to enjoy.
