I have scrapped this photo before, but I still love it and keep finding other ways to use it. It is one of my absolute favourite shots from my grandmother's collection, probably because this kitchen never changed in all the years she lived there. Papers are Scenic Route (pink flowers), Junkitz (black toile), and Michael Miller. HS photo corners and rub ons. <br><br>Journalling is actually an edited version of the journalling I used on an earlier layout, and reads: I always loved my grandmother’s kitchen. Pink and blue, her two favourite colours, are everywhere. The floor is a combination of white, pink, blue and black linoleum tiles, the cupboard doors and drawers are painted pink and blue, alternating around the room. The bench top is a sunny yellow laminex, with chrome trim.<br>When I was young, I would help Nan mince the meat for her meat pies, although I struggled to turn the handle on the old fashioned mincer. I would sit at the table and wait for the Anzac biscuits Pa cooked to come out of the oven, or watch as Nan stirred the big pot of home made sauce or mulberry jam. <br>In winter the family would fight to sit closest to the old fireplace with the glass door, and loved to drink cups of tea from a real cup and saucer. In summer we would drink tank water, using the third tap on Nan’s sink to access it. We would wipe our hands on the tea towel hung in the drawers to dry, and raid the lolly fridge for barley sugar and acid drops.<br>We would sit on the chairs with the kangaroos carved in the back of them and make dolls from Nan’s dolly pegs. Pa would let us use the purple stamp pad from his office, and we would stamp pictures using the stamp set in the old tin trays. I spent my childhood in this kitchen.<br><br>TFL!
