Swapping Scraps, playtime fun Options

[petalpeeps]

does anyone else remember having a book of scraps,you swapped them by putting them just out the top of the page.if it was a really good one you especially wanted ,you sometimes had to swap two or more of your own to get it.this w as usually done during the school playtime . bye

Yes Petalpeeps, I well remember thumbing through an old book full of scraps and sticking out to the side the ones I wanted to swap. Do you remember the Santa ones and also the Cherubs on Clouds? If you ever visit the New Lanark Heritage Village, they actually sell sheets of these old scraps which I have bought to keep for my granddaughter.

I remember the cherubs and the angels but I especially like the ladies in the big floral hats. I could imagine myself flouncing about in one of them.

I have the same cherubs on notelets in my desk right now, can't use them just keep them

I did everything to get my girls to like scraps when they were wee. Did they bother? Not one bit of them. But I had a great time tae masel. Same wi Chinese ropes and the balls in the stockings thingy. But when ah made stilts wi bean cans an strings, they walked away and left me oot the back masel.
