I lived in Bolivia three times as kid, for a total of about 2 years. Unfortunately, my parents took no photos. I've been wanting to scrap memories from this part of my life for some time, but just never started because of the lack of photos. I decided to use pictures from the Internet to fill in this gap of my life. Journaling reads: <br><br>In our village you could find several little stores that were built right into the houses. There was a pull-down counter and you'd walk up and shout, “Vendame!” There'd be giant sacks of rice and beans and other things for cooking that you could purchase by the kilo (you had to bring your own containers to hold these things). They sold bread that was baked fresh daily–we'd make two trips a day for bread: for breakfast and afternoon tea. There were bottles of ice-cold cola or orange soda. They sold big bars of stinky, puke-colored lye soap and little plastic pouches of shampoo or conditioner that were good for one hair-washing. You could buy gigantic bottles of beer and single cigarettes–yes, they sold these things to children! And there was candy! Lots and lots of candy! You could buy single pieces of candy or packs. It was heaven for a kid with a sweet tooth! However, if you look up at the very top shelf of this picture, you'll see what I would spend much of my allowance on. Yes, that's toilet paper. The alternative was to use torn strips of newspaper to wipe. That was just so disgusting to me. So I would spend my cash on toilet paper, hoping for a few leftover centavos to buy candy or sodas or cigarettes, and hide that precious toilet paper so only I could use it.<br><br>Materials: Sassafras Lass and OLD Mustard Moon patterned papers. Heidi Swapp chipboard letters (I cut an O to make the parentheses). 7 Gypsies rub-on. Gill Sans font. TFL! ~Debbi T
