Let them play for AJJ



A digital journal page for
My month of exploring and creating pages for the  'Time ' theme is nearly ending.
I have been on quite a journey and have been inspired by all the awesome contributions.
Please pop over HERE to see the gallery, it is amazing
This collage was assembled  with me thinking back .
to times when children were  allowed to play and explore what could be found around them.
Not always easy these days  in our troubled world



This is a photograph my OH took from our window across the valley on a misty morning earlier this year. I used this as the base background for this page.





Thank you for calling to see me today, comments you leave me are always appreciated.

  9. This is truly beautiful. Love the photo and the way you have used it.
    I'm reading a novel written many years ago and the difference in the attitude to children running and playing freely is quite astonishing.

  11. That misty photo your husband took is magical
    AND what you created with it is fabulous.
    You have captured a feeling that really resonates with me.
    Time is indeed a wonderful theme...I am wishing it would have slowed down a little so I could make more of what is still in head... tick tick tick
