Merry-go-round

You know those rides at the shops ... that cost a ridiculous amount of money ... go around and around for five minutes ... and then stop ... leaving the kids to plead and stomp their feet for another ride???

You know the ones??

Yes, well, I have always told my children they are broken.  I am quite prepared to test this when the time comes and they question this statement.  I will produce a coin (5c), place it in the slot and .... wait for it .... oh look, the ride must be broken, it doesn't work!!  LOL ... I have it all planned :-)

ANYWAY ... my poor deprived children are soooo lucky they have a generous Nana to treat them to things like this. 

See the grins - from ear to ear :-)

Using more Crate Paper Neighbourhood ... are you sick of it yet??!  LOL  I just adore this little key :-)


Hope you are having a great week :-)

Lily loves those rides, but I'm lucky that sometimes she's happy just to sit in it, and I don't actually have to put any money in.

Great layout :)

Samantha said...

Oh WOW! so love this design and the cluster of eye candy! totally JOY!

Jasmine S said...

This is a fabulous design and that cluster, just yummy.
And yep, know those rides. The kids have to be happy to sit in it as I too refuse to put in $2. Had not thought of the 5c trick. Thanks
One day when DS was young I told him to keep walking as the ride was broken.
Anyway, on the way back another child was sitting in it having a ride and DS said "see Mummy, it is working". I felt kinda guilty but we kept walking.....
